    I'm sorry, but I never used the word cure, I used the word remission, as my doctor does. I am fully aware that it does not go away, as is the case of all autoimmune disease. It is treatable, and symptoms go into remission. Remission (in medicine), means the state of absence of disease activity in patients with a chronic illness, with the possibility...

    yes! Me, too, that's good stuff ---but I think the OP is in the UK and I was not sure if she had that available.
  3. IrishHeart
    Is it not common knowledge--supported by medical evidence, follow -up testing and symptom -resolution--that celiacs recover from villous damage? I am not talking about refractory sprue here. Do you really want all those medical abstracts cited? Do you think those celiacs who are in remission are using some of those certified gluten-free...

    boy, I am thick today...thanks, CHILL! Honestly, I have used my crockpot ONCE since I got it 2 years ago, so I keep forgetting it's an option!
  5. IrishHeart
    I agree completely, Riceguy and this is what I believe many of us are trying to reinforce to the OP and to any others who read this forum.

    Not cooking will limit your options. Having been very, very ill and needing to avoid gluten, dairy and soy myself, I can tell you this--you will not find much that does not require cooking, except fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, or some packaged products which can be microwaved, but are often full of OTHER foods that may cause issues. For example, you...

    But, this is not clear at all. What is "normal" gluten free food?? EDITED to SAY: Sorry---NEVER MIND!! I have RE-READ what you said after someone pointed it out to me that I was misinterpreting it and you meant gluten-free products. Forget this question! I'm sorry!! I do understand that you cannot tolerate them and do better without them...

    You put a smiley face, so you may just be joking but, You fantasize you are a professor? I was one and it's no fantasy job, Too much paperwork and no $$$ in it. Working with students was the only real reward.

    I do not disagree with you on this. Ideally, it would be best for us all.

    Using the word "Millions" was perhaps an overstatement on my part. I regret using that word to make my point about the number of patients who are in remission (i.e. responsive to the diet) There are 20 million celiacs in the US and about 20 million in the world, according to the most recent websites and journal articles I read. It would seem saying...

    oookay...well, when I read about the genetic link, the material did not say the patient died shortly after birth. Well, that WOULD preclude you then. Since you are clearly, quite alive. hmm...well, it might be that the "leaky gut" is perhaps an issue? I mention this as I have had multiple chemical sensitivities and some weird histamine/preservatives...

    No shame here, hon! If anyone gets it, it's us!

    Sounds Fab, Cathey!! (major drool)My tiramisu was pretty darn good (pre DX) and now, I know I can make it again. Thanks for sharing!

    Hurrah! see, I told you she would come around....but I did not think it would be this fast. yaay! maybe her appetite has improved?

    And the summary of the study is? "In sum, these findings indicate that a less than 1 ppm level of gluten in foods is the level of exposure for individuals with celiac disease on a GFD that protects the most sensitive individuals with celiac disease and thus, also protects the most number of individuals with celiac disease from experiencing any detrimental...

    Thank you!--this is all I was trying to say in the first place. It could be another food intolerance or a chemical sensitivity or some other medical condition that makes someone "react" to a product with multiple ingredients.
  17. IrishHeart
    My mistake. It was for 5ppm. My apologies for using the < sign. (I was talking about < 5 ppms previously.)
  18. IrishHeart
    (1) You admit everyone's level of sensitivity is different.Right? (2) then, you ask do "we" have to try everything and risk getting sick? (you mean gluten-free labeled foods here, I assume?) (3) Well, if we are all different in our sensitivity levels, how on earth is your experience, or mine --or anyone else's for that matter-- an accurate indicator...

    Of course, when I asked my science-geek chemist hub about this, he pronounced "molybdenum" with no trouble and told me quite a bit. Smart dude. Apparently, there is quite a bit written about the soil deficiency. There is even an International Molybdenum Association. who knew? Open Original Shared Link Most of the articles I found are...

    well, I heart you! cheers, IH

    perhaps he has another surprise for you instead, Lisa!

  25. IrishHeart
    love it! I have always called mashed potatoes "smashed" since a child (they sound like they had a few martinis) but I have never heard of "crashed." I learn something new every day.
