  1. @trents True. But! in my mind; they both have the same negative impact on lifestyle and certain gastronomic freedoms. Cheers.
  2. @Lotte18 G'day. Ironically, we're fairly lucky in Australia. Given the high prevelance of gluten-free and, other Endocrine disorders (Crohn's for instance), labeling laws and awareness is high, so it makes it somewhat easier to identify accessible foods. We actually have a pub that is 100% gluten-free, including the beer on-tap. The annual gluten-free...
  3. @trents You're right, thanks for pointing that out. On @somethinglikeolivia comment regarding potential ingesting or cross contamination; there is a product marketed in Australia as "GluteGuard" which is designed for just this scenario. It is not a defence for and is not recommended for use by full-blown celiac disease but, it helps those with GI. I...
  4. Hi @trents. Apologies, I did a search for the article and cannot find it. Given it was a generalised comment in the article, it could have been removed as no citations could be applied to it. I did find this other article produced more recently that does not surprise me, given the data it presents. https://celiac.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Global...

  6. The best way to determine positively is to undergo a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinologist will assess the condition of your "Villi". These tenticles are what extract the nutrient from what we ingest. The Protein in Gluten is like acid to these tenticles.
  7. When I was diagnosed in 2013, I did some research and came across an article from the Mayo Clinic. It suggested that approximately 40% of the global population was walking around with undiagnosed Coeliacs or, some level of Gluten Intollerance. My Brother, exihibits the same external and Endocrynic patterns as I do, but! insists he is not a Coeliac and...
  8. Hi @terrymouse Generally, after a Celiac Seriology Blood Test, if something anomalous shows up, the follow-up will be a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinonogist will be looking to see if you still have (Villi). Villi are Tenticles/Hairs that are prevalent throughout the small intestine; their function is to extract nutrients, vitamins and water. The absense...
  9. @trents Yep! That's Aussie slang. "Crook" = (Sick-as-a-Dog). My apologies, I forget that I'm chatting in a non-Australian forum whose members are not likely to understand my alien jargon. The everyday Aussie vernacular is distinctly ours. That said, it's taken a century or two of evolution to refine it from the original Pommy Rhyming slang that...
  10. Hi @Aleda D I consider myself extremely fortunate that I live in a country (Australia), which forces all food related service industries to acknowledge and label "ALL" Allergens. I struggle to understand why anybody would need to add pancake batter; Omelettes I make at home are fluffy enough without adding unnecessary items. I think it's generally...
  11. Jefferson: Some Deli items like bacon, in Australia contain Gluten; most "Don's" smallgoods products contain Gluten, but! they list it on their packaging so you know.! Alex: 100% on the mark there. In Australia, McCormack Foods (Spice) supplier, advertises their products as having the potential for cross-contamination. A legal requirement here in Australia...
  12. Hi All In Australia, Oats are listed as "Wheat Free", not Gluten Free as our standard is stricter here. The accepted tolerable limit for most coeliacs is 20 parts per million, most other countries it is 40 which some companies exploit, flogging off Oats as being Gluten Free, they're not! According to Coeliac.org, they recommend speaking to your...
  13. G'Day Ginger Does the shampoo you're currently contain SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulphate)..?? If so! discontinue immediately. SLS is a surfactant used to create the foam effect. There are other "Natural" alternatives to this. "Sodium Laureth Sulphate" is less irritating to sensitive skin. Same goes for conditioners that use "Propylene Glycol". This is...
