I know it's a huge link. It's from news telling us all about dairy products tainted with melamine. Remember when the whole issue about the pet food came out? This is the same chemical that was in the pet food. First they were only talking about baby formula's, now it seems this melamine may be in many, many products that contain milk of some sort, especially the products that have powdered milk in them. They first came out saying we shouldn't eat M&M's, Snickers, and Oreos (like any of us do). I could not understand where Nabisco and Mars were connected...then I found this link.

I had not heard about this one, but this morning I saw a report about a recall of instant flavored coffees and tea. Here is a link to that one:

Wow! I don't eat any dairy at all so it wouldn't affect me, but that's scary stuff!

dd,

That first link has expired. The other two say there have been no tainted foods from China entering the US. I'm wondering if those M&M's and Snickers were produced overseas or here. I hope it's not the latter 'cause I eat Snickers regularly and M&M's occassionally. Are Celiacs not supposed to? Nobody told me, I'm always the last to know. As far as I was aware, there are no wheat ingredients listed on the label. Please correct me otherwise.

best regards, lm

And, another link from the FDA about melamine:

And here is a quote from the page the above link goes to:

King Car Food Industrial Co. used a non-dairy creamer manufactured by Shandong Duqing Inc., China, which was found to be contaminated with melamine.

That opens up a whole new category of contaminated possibilities. :o:angry:

dd, Thanks for the link. I enjoyed it immensley. It also led me to some other great places.

I ranted on China during the pet food crises, and got a lot of grief and anti-US ramblings in return. I tend to forget that even though this forum is made up of mostly American members, there are also people here from all over the world, even France.

That's why I try to be more tactful now B). Don't go borrowing trouble. That's what my Dad used to tell me. Damn, wished I had listened to him more. :P

best regards, lm

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
