    Link was screwed up. this is probably it: Open Original Shared Link was written off of old research in the 1990's from the references, so some of the "facts" are screwed up, of course. Then again, it is Whole Paycheck. Would suggest people go to the wikipedia article on the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 genes and see the prevalence of those genes in some populations...

    What an idiot at Mayonnaise Mimic, yes, gallbladder disease and liver problems DO go with celiac and gluten intolerance. You'd be better off with a regular GP that could at least evaluate your gallbladder function, than going back there. This may or may not resolve with the diet, depending on whether you have gallstones of good size blocking the...

    I take it this guy who told you this 2 week miracle gluten-free gut cure has never had celiac or gluten intolerance And I also would take it since you're a guy you are letting others prepare your food, and you're in a mixed household. (I just read thru several back posts). Certainly there must be a health food store somewhere within driving distance...

    I don't know what he meant. No one would waste good edible alfalfa stems like that, the stuff is too pricy when an animal would eat it anyway. As soon as it would get rained or irrigated after it was spread, it would start to mold. Maybe he had some bad stuff he needed to use up, compost, or get rid of. Once in a while we have a bale of hay that is partially...

    Probably they don't care what sort of starch is used, but I'm not sure. They might, since wheat starch is going to be gluten contaminated, and therefore stickier, and they're using it to stick the plaster filler to the paper coating. Open Original Shared Link wikipedia, Drywall Manufacture Starch, wiki Open Original Shared Link Blame...

    Hay is usually greenish, or greenish - gray or greenish tan, with FLAT dried leave of grass. It smells different. It has that "sweet grass" smell. It is very prone to mold when it gets wet and then doesn't dry out quickly. Hay is cut typically before the grass seed heads mature, so the nutrients are still in the leaf. Most of the bales of stuff...

    Meh. Whole Foods... try a different health food store. My local Whole Paycheck has the gluten free stuff scattershot all over the place, making it a slow experience, was out of several basic gluten-free grain items the last time I checked, and has a surprising lack of safe generic items because they're run thru a plant also manufacturing wheat. Lots...

    "Bread" is usually home made around here, because I am using high protein ingredients and this way can customize it to what I can get along with better. Plus, it is fresh and tastes much better this way. I tend to use smaller bread pans and the smaller loaves come out better. Also, I make a lot of quick breads instead of yeast, and use dedicated, small...

    No, sounds like they said STOP the Gluten Free Diet, then they collected tissue samples and put 'em in a petri dish sort of environment and hit 'em with the gliadin protein- bombs to watch what happens. Interesting. We could prolly put a webcam on my belly and get the same results after eating a bad brand of chips. "Look, it's expanding!"

    .....whoever said this hasn't tried this in our kitchen I used to have a farm kitchen the size of an airplane hanger. Now I have one half the size of a horse stall, in an otherwise normal sized ranch house. WTF were they thinking. And I have ideas on how I could change this workspace around a bit, and beloved will not cooperate. If we are both...

    So I go to a frozen yogurt shop tonight which sells soft serve in cups, one that is more local than the others we've tried. Some of these vendors admit what brand of base material they are using, and have an ingredients book that lists ingredients in detail. They might even have it posted on their websites. Others are nearly clueless unless you want the...

    I don't know what is more annoying here, that the Tastykake website does not have them (the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies) obviously on the links to their homepage, or that once you do find them, they still don't list the ingredients. So I've read a lot of reviews, and the dingy reviewers mostly are not saying what the ingredients are, either. ...

    Starting to look like your sunflower oil is the problem. Start cooking the meat in something else, like pure olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, lard, whatever.

    Depends on what sort of baker you are to begin with, if you're good at just doodling around, you can probably get away with just subbing in a gluten free flour mixture and tweaking it a little. Otherwise, it's better to do searches for "recipe gluten free name of thing" and using one of those, especially one that has been battle tested by a lot of commenters...

    I am not sure what to say here, other than that just ****s and I hope you can get it figured out. I am getting cc'd here at home this week by something I haven't figured out yet, and I'm getting a bit irritable about it. I haven't eaten anything DIFFERENT, so that means something in a manufactured product has likely changed. I want to know why I can...

    Not too late to contact the store management anyway and complain, or do it Monday. Otherwise they'll just do it again. And again. There are internet store review sites like YELP that can really motivate people to be more careful. This is typical behavior at health food stores anyway, it's why I would never do a sample, especially I am wary of anything...

    Wheezing.... that is very likely a sulfites reaction. (the last ingredient) It is a preservative used in some dried fruits and dried coconut and wines, sometimes vinegars made from wine will also have it. Asthmatics need to avoid it. Not unusual for asthmatics to react to sulfites AND to NSAIDs (non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen...

    The term "gluten" is used internationally to mean a grain's protein, like wheat gluten, corn gluten, etc. But who knows what they meant when they called buckwheat that. It is a "sticky" sort of grain when mixed with water. Like sweet rice is called "glutenous" rice or mochi, it's stickier but it is gluten free if not cross contaminated. LMAO...

    Had to look up to see which health "system" you were dealing with, ours here in USA or other overseas. Either way, doctors who have screwed up are mostly all the same, in that they then won't admit it and will actually, passively not be in any hurry to reveal evidence that they have. This is why the doctor is trying to foist you off on a rheumatologist...

    Hang in there, dear, it's still possible to bake and make pancakes without egg, milk, or gluten and have the results be very good !

    "Get another doctor....." Was she still on gluten when she had the blood tests run, or not ? She should stay on gluten until testing is completed. This incompetent buffoon ("a little bit won't kill you") when one of the tests above showed positive (The IGA) should have then scheduled or referred her for a biopsy of the small intestine. Unless he is...

    Maybe this is a regional thing ? We have flavored charcoal in the stores here, made with mesquite, and there are bags of hickory chips, mesquite chips, etc next to the bags of charcoal, and there is always nut wood (from orchard prunings or removals/replacements) being advertised for sale, from almonds, or bundles of it at the convenience stores next to...

    It's not so "off the wall" for people or other living things with nut allergies. One of our horses has multiple allergies to many common things horses can come in contact with or eat, such as soy, ryegrass, barley, and he's in the only pasture we have that has no oak trees for a reason - some horses will beaver down those acorn nuts like it's cracker jacks...
