    "Cooler" products are actually just flavored beers, made by a similar process as beer brewing. Distilled spirits generally separate from any gluten during distillation.

    ARCHIVED Back Sores

    kvogt replied to whitelacegal's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Milk makes me itch now. I've had a large patch of eczema on my calf for about 20 years. I noticed that milk caused me sinus congestion. I dropped milk to see if it would help. Now after a couple of months, the eczema is clearing up - after 20 years! I also have a patch on my back that gets a little "bubbly" that itchs on and off. I think it's soy that...

    My shortness of breath continued to persist until I dropped dairy. I think dairy effects my lungs.

    I wanted to report my experience that GarFava flour makes the best roux for cajun cooking. I've tried several. The last I had tried was soy, but found it gritty and it also effected the aroma of dishes. It takes only about 5 minutes to cook the GarFava roux. It takes about 3 minutes before it starts to turn dark.

    ARCHIVED The Big D

    Great name!

    I'm at the 2 year mark. I had good/bad days too. I discovered my bad days were not from gluten, but other food problems. I dropped milk and now have almost entirely good days. I suggest you get tested first.

    It's said a person how serves as his/her own physician has a fool for a doctor, but reading these boards there seems to be no shortage of fools in the medical community already... I'd say it's rather improbable a gluten-free diet will cause you to improve from some other ailment. If it doesn't help you, go back to the doctor.

    I think of it like rat poison. If I accidentally ate a little of it and it tasted good, would I be happy to just go ahead and eat some more.

    Anyone in your family have lupus? It killed my grandmother. I figure it could kill me, too. Anyone have rhumatoid arthritis? That would be a nasty thing to get. I've got a big ugly, red, itchy patch of eczema on my leg - another autoimmune disease - that I would have rather not gotten. Probably wouldn't have it if I had been diagnosed in time. You...

    Since going gluten-free 2 years ago, I'm now starting to have problems with other foods. York allergy testing reveals milk and soy (among too many others) are a problem. Soy seems to cause me significant problems with "zoning out" where my brain sort of stops/starts. It's not so bad as to be described as zombie, but I can see if I continue to consume soy...

    Sharon C., There is more to Catholic dogma than the bible. We have something called Tradition, which we believe is also inspired by the Holy Spirit. Both comprise Catholic faith. I can't pick and choose what I want to; I accept the whole faith as it is. To do otherwise is not Catholic. No one is forcing me to accept a wheat wafer. I have the choice...

    Sharon C. Part and parcel to Catholicism is obedience and acceptance of church authority. To be Catholic is to accept and abide it. To deny it is beyond matters of conscience and simply a rejection of the faith. To say church tradition is not biblically based is correct, but tradition is an equal part of our faith, therefore necessary to be Catholic....

    I read Dangerous Grains. If you assume the author is only half right, it's enough to scare he bejeezes out of you.

    I for one am glad to read something besides hysterial statements on the issue. I will gladly accept the low-gluten host. It's a reasonable alternative to the regular host. If I have a problem with it, I'll accept that I cannot tolerate it. I trust that the sisters who created the low-gluten host were inspired and directed by the Holy Spirit. I also trust...

    A gluten challenge is a way for the doctor to convince him/herself that you have celiac disease. If the biopsy doesn't happen to support the diagnosis, you are left with a dilemma. If you feel better without gluten, go with your gut.

    I look at it this way, what if my next presentation of gluten sensitivity is lupus or rhumatoid arthritis instead of the lovely mess of eczema I now have. My grandmother died from lupus. I don't think a donut or piece of cake or once favored fast food item is really worth it for me.

    Communion is NOT a symbol in the Catholic faith. It's much more than that to us. I request that non-Catholics cease posting disrespectful comments and opinions about something you are simply not qualified to discuss. This is not the forum for it. Please take it someplace else.
  19. kvogt
    catfish, I will assume you did not mean to disrespect Catholics when you said: But you should be aware that you did say something distasteful to us. debmidge, Thank you for your well articulated information and arguments. I too wrestle with this issue. God made us different from those who can safely consume wheat and therefore the Eucharist. I...

    Everything I've read indicates that its all about too much water at the end of the bake. The steam holds up the loaf. When it cools, the steam cools and the loaf collapses. The loaf has to "set", such that the bread holds itself up. Too much water and/or too little baking time is generally the problem.

    I'm not saying that anyone should be happy about getting any amount of gluten in a "gluten-free" product. I'm just saying that it will be impossible to achieve - all the time - and still be affordable. If anyone wants to ensure they are 0ppm gluten-free, all the time, they should stop eating any gluten-free grain products. No breads, cakes, cookies,...
  22. kvogt
    travelthomas, To suggest that 0ppm is practical by "just creating the proper environment", to paraphrase, is unsupportable. Generally, quantums in purity are achived by quantums in additional cost. I doubt anyone will be able to afford a $40 or $400 bag of 0 parts per million gluten-free grain flour.

    I won't cook anything with gluten; others in our home may cook what they like. I keep my own toaster ($10) and crumbs on the counter worry me, otherwise I use the same pots and pans. Beware the butter dish! Some people say that you damage yourself even if you don't react, but that is assumed, not proven.
  24. kvogt
    They said several interesting things in the report: that contamination in gluten-free products cannot be totally avoided; 13 of the 59 naturally gluten-free products tested contained gluten, that's 22%; 11 of the 24 Codex products contained gluten, that's 46%; people consuming 100 parts per million per day were found to have no damage; 100 ppm can be achieved...

    Be aware that so-called non-dairy creamers often contain sodium caseinate. Casein is the protein in milk that bothers us. Non-dairy creamers bother me. I switched to Silk brank soy creamer and it hits the spot.
