    HEY! I have the PERFECT gluten free diet. You just eat NOTHING! So tomorrow, I'm starting on the all-nothing diet. And of course, no SOAP. And there MAY BE some gluten in the rubber they used on the elastic band of my boxers (the dye in my jeans, the threads used to attach the buttons to my shirt... ), so OUT THEY ALL GO! Sure, I'll be naked for awhile...

    Like all Good Americans, I like salty/greasy/crunchy/horrendously bad for me snacks. Potato chips used to fill that bill, just your basic Lays, but I have eliminated them, at least for the time being, for fear of cross contamination via the cooking fat, or the shipping container they go in, or the carton tape the container is sealed with, or maybe it's that...

    That's all I get too, looks like the moderators pulled it, perhaps? After everyone raved about it? WHY?? Tried inserting various links, none of them seemed to work from this site. It would be nice to at least be told WHY.

    Can you elaborate on that?

    Chris - I really can relate to your post, and especially the last 2 lines. What must it be like to only have to contend with all the ORDINARY adversities life throws at you, and not feel like you also have to do battle with your body as well? I have not had a firm diagnosis, but I have been trying gluten free for about 3 months. I am doing everything I...

    SSG - I don't know about the SOAP part, but let's face it, pop pretty much IS just chemicals. As far as the machine being dirty/recently cleaned, I recall some years ago when I worked in a very nice restaurant, they had one of those automated dispensers for the soft drinks. Basically a spray head like you have at your sink, but with a small touch pad on...

    Thanks for the replies. I am eating a pretty simple, predominantly "whole ingredient" diet. About the only "prepared" things I'm eating now aside from the sausage (which has nothing of concern on the label other than "spice") are the vegetable stock and granola from Trader Joes, both labeled "gluten free". Maybe there was some residual effect from the...

    After about 3 months gluten free, I am feeling about the same. I don't have an official diagnosis of Celiac, but after no results from 2 GI docs (3 at this point) on December 17, 2009 I eliminated gluten on my own, an experiment which is at least supported by my symptoms. Nearly 3 months later, I would say I'm slightly improved, but certainly not 100%....

    I don't recall ever having any difficulty with the bayonet mounted attachments. I can see that the shorter machine might be preferable in some settings. I keep mine on a lower shelf under the counter & haul it out as needed. I just find the lever one is more robust, plus you can lower the bowl & run the beater above the ingredients briefly to clean...

    Mushroom - I'd personally suggest a mixer. I used Kitchenaid mixers a fair bit when I used to work in restaurants. If you do go with a mixer, do yourself a favor and spend a few bucks more to get the kind with the handle that raises & lowers the bowl, as on professional machines, like This one on sale at Amazon, rather than the kind where the mixing...

    Am J Gastroenterol 2010 By Will Boggs, MD NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Mar 04 - When celiac disease is diagnosed in adulthood, mucosal damage might never completely resolve, even on a gluten-free diet, according to a February 9th online report in The American Journal of Gastroenterology. "Celiac disease is a serious inflammatory condition that does...

    Thanks for the replies. I went to Target & looked at their house brand, none of the multivitamins I saw (Up & Up, etc) were clearly marked "Gluten Free". So I stopped at a Rite Aid on the way home & picked up a couple bottles of "Nature Made Multi", which is labeled "No yeast or Gluten". Plus, they were buy one, get one free, which is always...

    Was that directed to me? My father always said "Never assume"... If it was, you're welcome & let us know how it goes. David

    TPG - As a start, here's a short slide show on WebMD that anyone with some moderate computer skills could convert into a Powerpoint presentation by capturing the images. If you have access to a laptop & multimedia projector you could put on a slide show in the restaurant, starting with the text which accompanies each slide on the site & perhaps...

    JAMA. 2009;302:1171-1178, 1225-1226. Mortality risk is modestly increased in patients with celiac disease, inflammation, or latent celiac disease, according to the results of a retrospective cohort study reported in the September 16 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Studies of mortality in celiac disease have not taken small...

    Thanks, I had heard that before about the brand. I'm currently using a generic of Centrum, but of course the no-gluten aspect may not have made it through the generic equivalent process.

    Can anyone suggest a good, readily available and reasonably cheap guaranteed to be gluten free multivitamin? TIA David

    Christina - One of the most common causes of ringing in the ears is drugs in the group salicylates. The prototypical example would be aspirin, but the main ingredient in Pepto Bismol, Bismuth subsalicylate, can also cause this annoying side effect. So can a number of prescription drugs commonly used in gut problems, like the 5-ASA anti-inflammatory agents...

    From Pediatrics 2010;125:e530-e536 NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Mar 03 - Introducing gluten to a baby's diet during a period of infection does not increase the risk of celiac disease, Swedish researchers report in the March issue of Pediatrics. Using data from the population-based All Infants in Southeast Sweden study, Dr. Jonas F. Ludvigsson of Karolinska...

    Thanks Pattie, I looked there but obviously I missed the setting. seems like that would be the default

    I notice when I click on anyone's picture to view their profile, a list of "recent visitors" appears in the lower left. I see no such list when I click my own profile, which seems like an error. In that space is a box titled "Previous Fields" which contains my address, etc. This is despite the fact that my profile shows 191 views. How can I see the list of...

    I had a Vitamin blood level test about 10 days ago. This is after about 3 months no-gluten, and taking a multivitamin each day. Note that the carotene is low, the D, lowish, and the B12 "normal". I would be interested in hearing what anyone thinks of these results: Carotene 84, normal range 90 - 280. Vitamin D 25 OH total, 23.2, normal range 20.1 ...

    Megan - Your memories of tasting menus makes me want to cry! I've also enjoyed the experience at some very nice restaurants, such as Jean Georges and Le Bernardin in New York. I used to live in central Ohio, and would frequently fly to New York City for "culture fixes". The most interesting place I found in the city for prix fixe dining of that sort was...
