    It's like that old joke -- What's the difference between a used car salesman and a computer salesman? A: The used car salesman knows he's lying! ken

    It will be 2 years for me being gluten-free in June. I was closer to eating Raw before being diagnosed as, like you mentioned, have not healed enough. My body just can't handle the salads and greens that I used too. I do wish I had the focus to go totally raw. I write for the magazine Living Nutrition about tropical fruit and have a lot of friends who are...

    We have a little sign up at our farmers market saying Celiac Spoken Here. I'm amazed at the number of questions we ge from people who don't know who are interested and from people who are celiac or suspect they are. A few have since joined the forum. People just don't know what it is unless it touches them or their family. 3 years ago I had never heard of...

    Great message tarnalberry. I don't expect others to wear their celiac as badge of honor. All we can do is hope to educate others and not be ashamed of something that we are inflicted with. We can talk choices and how we fell like who's should etc. but the bottom line for me is to present choices and educate those interested. It's up to them if they listen...

    I think you'll have to make your own onigiri from now on! Circle K, Family Mart, 7-11, Daily Yamazaki all have lots of onigiri with lots of ko-mugi or o-mugi. Jikei medical Univ. in Tokyo ( Daimon) was doing some testing but I'm not sure if they still do. You have to stay away from shoyu too unless you can find the wheat-free type. Being inaka mono it...

    Years ago I borrowed a white one for my kid to use on halloween. Stuffed it with balloons so he could be the staypuff marsh mellow monster from Ghostbusters.

    Your 100% correct. Even then some areas and those who are not that familiar with sushi may have a hard time knowing which places may be run by other cultures. lst year I took my grandkids out in Chicago to a place I didnt know. -- It was Chinese run but the only way you would know that is you spoke to them in japanese and they looked back at you funny...

    Right, When I was in japan in March I checked 30 makers. 24 were ok and only nori (seaweed) with or without salt. The others had soy sauce used in the processing. These days I never order rolls unless I know the chef or they let me check the package. At lunches I order chirashizushi which is a bowl of sushi rice with the fish on top. Ken

    You should be able to get whole dry cayenne at Asian or Hispanic markets. The taste is much better than the bottled spices, and hotter!

    Cant say for sure about China but in Japan in 2005 I was told there were 12 reported cases of celiac and in 2007 over 20,000. I would guess this is in part to the increased western diet and in part to better diagnostics and doctor awareness. My theory although often based in heredity, celiac can be brought on by diet and I suspect those of Asian decent will...

    I've not seen the new seasons shows yet. No TV here. Even if we had it the power has been out so much over the past few weeks that it would have driven me more crazy <G> That is if we could see it though the vog from the volcano. My son is buned out on his chef job too and got his real estate mortgage broker licenses. Why in this economy I don't know...

    These days I'm more of a grower/pusher than a user/chef. Seeing these boxes from China come into the stores here with off color runny ink marked USDA organic really makes one wonder... Ilan was not bad but did not understand the origin of the fruit that all of them were supposed to use. If you have to use a fruit from the country where your cuisine comes...

    Hi, I was told last time I'm not supposed to post things like that or my own web site but they did say it was ok to refer you to my profile which lists the website. On the site you can scroll down to the rant section and find the produce mixing letter, or just send me email from the message section with your email. My real name is Ken Love. take care

    You know Lisa you should try out for next season! You can wow them with the curries and gluten-free papadams <G>

    Your so right about the edamame. Not only is the cross contamination issue a problem but often the pesticide residue causes other problems even for non-celiacs. Most edamame served in the US now comes from China -- even the ones with Japanese labels. On newer packaging you can see (in Japanese) country of origin being China. Much of it has been rejected by...

    Be careful of some of the nori seaweed wraps as some of them are dried with shoyu -- soy sauce which as you know is not usually gluten-free.If the place is really Japanese and run by Japanese nationals the nori is usually ok. If it is run by Koreans and Chinese they tend to use a different nori with the soy sauce dried nori. It sounds funny but based on my...

    I know your right about the smell not being a factor but there are airborne particles of flour unless the manufacturing process is totally encased. Having been affected by walking near a store bakery and standing outside a pizza place, I can say that flour is in the air and it is dangerous to many celiacs. Someone in a thread a few weeks ago mentioned flour...

    That has to be tough. (smelling toast daily). I know for me breathing flour by accident always makes me sick. I read on the forum it takes 24 hours for flour in the air to settle on the ground. You might check first, with local regulations about exhausts from factories and then find out if they have an afterburner or air filters and cleaners. I would...

    You could try to reach Antonio Rotunno in Abruzzo. He works for a company Bio Alimenta which makes gluten-free pasta ( best I ever had) 0872-994053 or antonio@bioalimentasrl.it - I met him and his wife in Japan in March at a food show. Great guy & perfect English. Don't know if you can buy the corn meal from him or he may be able to help with other flours...

    HI Meline Its too bad I couldnt dance with shaking legs -- maybe I could invent new dance I think the symptoms are so different for everyone. I wonder what causes so many different symptoms for the same disease. I think I read there are more than 200 different symptoms for celiac. The avatar is Dr. Ochanamizu. In the old Japanese cartoon Astro...

    Your so right -- Having been one of those back to nature hippie parents ( now entrenched in nature hippie type grandparent) I can say how important it is that we maintain an agricultural connection. I'm just sick of this stuff coming in from China with off color runny ink USDA organic printed on the box -- better yet read yesterdays West Hawaii Today...

    kahleemehrah Meline tee kahnehteh? I did have bad shakes that was only from Gluten. Mostly at night and sometimes waking me up. One time my body threw itself off the bed! Sometimes during the day when I was awake. I can remember one time my leg shaking so much I couldnt focus my eyes on it! After gluten-free, it all went away! adio ken
  24. kenlove
    I had this problem prior to celiac diagnoses. it was so bad that they treated me for some type of Parkinsons. It didn't go away until I went gluten free. It takes a little time but after being gluten-free many of the symptoms you mentioned change or disappear. good luck! Ken

    I keep forgetting to ask him -- One of these days... quote name='Jestgar' date='May 7 2008, 09:08 AM' post='426463'] :lol: This would be a great avatar, if you could get the picture. I'd love to see the design she came up with!
