    ...alex, would those be VERY, VERY exhausted potatoes?

    thanks, cookie! I heart you. Happy V-day to you, dear girl...and Happy V day, Everyone! I am baking the buttery pound cake dusted with powdered sugar I meant to make the other night. Ran out of eggs. (I cannot have chocolate right now, damn!) so this is a sweet treat for my baby and me. It smells fab in my kitchen! Dinner for my sweet...

    It is possible your intolerance is temporary. Don't throw anything out yet! just avoid for a few weeks and try it again. The following ingredients found on a label indicate the presence of soy protein. Contain Soy: Edamame (soybeans in pods) Hydrolyzed soy protein Kinnoko flour Kyodofu (freeze dried tofu) Soybeans Miso Natto Okara...

    Ditto for me. Long struggle, but I was persistent. Good thing or I'd probably be dead. Or wheelchair-bound and insane by now. It was that bad. My new GI is appalled by what happened to me---to any long- unDXed celiac. He says there is no excuse for that now. As a result of malabsorption, we can be deficient in any number of vitamins, minerals...

    You always post this link to the one study done and while it is informative, it is over 50 pages long (yes, I have read it) and it would be helpful for newbies to know the conclusions of the study are based on the "data available" and it as follows: "Last, after the evaluation of all low dose-response data available on the adverse celiac disease related...

    "In biology, zero does not exist." so if 1-4 ppms is not detected in <5ppm testing capabilities... and someone is STILL getting "gluten reactions" from a product, then "gluten free" products should be avoided. Does that make sense to everyone? For the record, skeptical hubs, a chemist, used the Gluten Tox kits just for...

    In an interview with Dr. Alessio Fasano, (referred to as AF in the article) --considered a leading celiac doctor and researcher--- the author of the article (designated as AR) asked him the following questions. I found it interesting and relevant to the discussion: AR: What do you know about the FDA and the gluten- free definition? AF: The FDA...

    That is a rare deficiency, TH. Hope you get it straightened out ASAP. The doc who figured that one out for you deserves big kuddos! and he should let someone know because apparently, there are not many documented cases. From :The Linus Pawling Institute Dietary molybdenum deficiency has never been observed in healthy people (2). The only documented...

    Not necessary, but thank you! I read all the info you provided.

    For which the answer is "who knows?" With all due respect, I do not see how that is any different than someone taking a poll of people asking "does this bother you?" The answer is still the same. Some will say yes and some will say no. The true answer is: Only YOU can decide what agrees with your system. This was my whole point. I think it is IMPOSSIBLE...

    I am LIMITING my time, honest! I had PT today and she said my mobility was greatly improved. okay, okay I'm done. The timer went off and so I have to stop, even if I am mid wo

    (snort) I AM. I am ONLY answering PMs, skype calls and a few select thread posts. Barely 30 mins. today! (as opposed to my usual 3 hours. )

    thanks, Shroomie!

    crackpot I told you before and I mean it...dessert before dinner is always a good idea! May I ask you to share that coffee cake recipe? I am stockpiling recipes for when I can eat more things. (when I had laryngitis once, my hubs joked it was the most quiet week we ever had in our house. ) Hope you feel better soon!

    There comes a point where we may need to just agree that "Everyone is different" in his/her reactions to low gluten levels. Because to me, it seems like no matter WHAT product is questioned by someone on this site, and particularly in this section, someone says it gives them "a reaction". Is it a GLUTEN reaction? What happens exactly? How do...
  16. IrishHeart
    I looked on the chart you linked to, but I do not see where they state that about 10 ppm....can you point that out to me?
  17. IrishHeart
    don't even tease me that way you know i'm there in a heartbeat Spring/summer is better in Ireland. Every single time we went (late May, early June?) No rain....just. darn. perfect

    Crabby? OMG!--can you imagine how quickly we'd put someone in the electric chair just to get the hell out of there??!! Tonight's movie, "Swift Justice"--- starring 12 Hungry Celiacs (also a good name for a band ) narrated by Martha Stewart whose motto is "Don't bother to accomodate anyone with special allergen or dietary needs as they are insignificant...

    If you were fabulously wealthy, you'd splurge and have me in the seat beside you up in first class, toots!

    I enjoy So Delicious milk, creamer, ice cream all the time and have no problems whatsoever with their products. They are certified gluten-free, free of GMOs, organic, dairy free, etc. and taste great! from their website: Gluten-Free Our gluten-free products are certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization, a program of the Gluten Intolerance...

    I am in the same boat, hon. Try repeatedly to get family members to see it is hereditary. Try to get them to see that all of their AI diseases (thyroid, diabetes, cancer, asthma, arthritis, MS, Crohn's, gall bladder --no one has one of those left--anemia)and various health issues (obesity, depression , anxiety) are relevant. It is gluten, people...

    Exactly! me too. almost 2 weeks to get past an accidental CC --but symptoms lingered for 8 more. Asked the GI doc (he is very celiac-savvy ) and he said "well, of course. The inflammatory response takes a LONG time to die back down." I said "But no one else seems to take that long. WTF?" He kiddingly said "um, you're special? No, really it is because your...
  25. IrishHeart
    I agree. It is not always gluten CC and it is not always easy to pinpoint and it is not always sudden-onset. This is the same for me, for many foods. Gluten is quicker--within hours, I have the neuro stuff coming on, and then, the rest of the symptoms reveal themselves for days (and days after.) ..but other food intolerances (MSG, soy, dairy...
