    I am confused by something. What do you mean by "negative DNA"? you have DNA...do you mean negative Celiac gene test? If so, you do not have celiac. That's the exclusionary test. I just heard all this diagnostic protocol this past weekend from Dr. Fasano at a conference here in Orlando. from Univ. of Chicago Celiac Center "To help diagnose celiac disease...

    If I reported or sued every doctor who misdiagnosed me, I'd be in court for years. Not sure it would hold up in court anyway. A "very strong possibility" means what exactly--what were the results? This possibility without an endo and positive biopsy and lack of positive celiac-related genes does not necessarily make a definite celiac diagnosis, hon....

    I love all fruits and veggies.Never met one I did not like. True story! I do indulge in a homemade blue cheese dip on occasion. I make awesome granola bars (I can give you the recipe if you want) I like the Kind bars with pecans and cinnamon once and a while...very yummy. I tried a Plentils snack when I was at the GFLIVING conference last weekend...

    You relate to us a resurgence of good health off gluten. I am not sure why then you are questioning that gluten may be an issue for you. How can you be sure it is not celiac or NCGS? Were you ever tested for celiac disease? But for the record, none of us can eat ezekiel bread or drink barley tea as you can, so I doubt you have celiac. This...

    I was raised Catholic but I never even heard of them and would have laughed out loud at "nun's farts" and be sent to confession and given nine Hail Mary's and nine Our Father's...no doubt.

    wth? are you kidding me? it's 25.99 for 5 lbs. on ama zon. No Costcos here, but mom is coming next week and she goes to one and she may have to slip some in her suitcase. lol Wonder if Bjs has it? Is this the recipe for nun's puffs? http://www.passthepocky.com/2009/08/nuns-puffs.html

    lol ok Dorothy, I hear ya......I share your dream of a gluten-free world ...but just recall...eventually she woke up and found herself right back in Kansas (no offense, Miz K)

    Me too!!. Encores are the best. i am not even feeding hungry teens My mom used to say: Dinner is when we put it on the table. (both my parents worked and often, my Dad started dinner.) She also said: This is not a diner, No menu of choices. We all eat the same thing. You're on your own if you are late. (man , my Mom was mean. lol) This...

    That's not likely to ever happen. (as wonderful as it would be for us). The vast majority of the world's population does not have a gluten issue (despite what the " experts" out there say on the internet). I once thought everyone did too, I even remember posting early in my time on here saying" I bet we all have NCGS on some level"....but research and reality...

    You may wish to read what the testing of this "wheat paste" reveals. It's a non-issue for celiacs in terms of levels of detectable gluten. Open Original Shared Link

    true dat
  13. IrishHeart
    He did not make that clarification at all during his presentation. He seemed very clear about the DQ2 and DQ8 only. just sayin--not arguing
  14. IrishHeart
    Actually, Dr. Fasano addressed the genetic component at the gluten-free Conference Saturday in Orlando and he talked about this rather factually. He said the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes are the only genes associated with celiac. They are necessary for it, but not determinate. In other words, you may have the genes and never trigger it. But if you do...

    I have dined out successfully (and I've also been bitten on the ass a few times.) It happens Good experiences at PF Chang's, Bonefish Grill, Bistango in NYC, Naked Oyster in Hyannis Mass. etc.! I go to places vetted by other celiacs on Find me Gluten Free. I am normal...this is just the "new normal". You may have to get past thinking we are not...
  16. IrishHeart
    No I didn't. I read you loud and clear.
  17. IrishHeart
    I said nothing of the sort. I said no people will automatically ASSUME that about ALL chiropractors. I never said you were against all chiros, now did I? NOPE. Read what I wrote again. Thanks. The last thing anyone would call me is a snot, Sorry you do not like my replies.
  18. IrishHeart
    Hon, having a conversation with someone who takes a different view from yours does not constitute an "attack". (using that word for what I have said....is over the top) This is a forum where people discuss issues. I was discussing with you.
  19. IrishHeart
    Who are "these people"? You have to give the readership here the benefit of the doubt and let them see what's being discussed. I hope we can agree that anyone who generalizes about an entire profession, race of people, religion or ANYTHING.... based on the actions of SOME people? ...is not very wise. And if I had that kind of narrow thinking, I'd...
  20. IrishHeart
    Sorry, I just do not see that as a logical conclusion, I'm afraid. A few chiropractors who have branched out into this "field" does not make all "chiropractors, in general look bad". It's a non-sequitor.
  21. IrishHeart
    You think so, really? Because I don't think so. I think it just makes the ones who suggest they are diagnosing "NCGS" obvious charlatans.
  22. IrishHeart
    well, I do owe you some serious $$ for accepting all those dares I have thrown at you...but that's another issue. I'd like to note that the CYREX test page says: "These tests are not currently available outside of the United States, nor in the State of New York." hmmm ...since when did NYS get so savvy about things??
  23. IrishHeart
    My chiropractor thinks this is all a giant scam. He would never, ever think to "diagnose" anyone. He fixes backs. Period. Ok, here is basically what DR. Fasano (a real, live celiac expert!! ) said at the gluten-free Living Conference on Saturday.... He said "there are a frenzy of so-called experts out there on the internet", but they are not experts...
  24. IrishHeart
    No one "called him to the forum". No one has dismissed you. You came on there asking questions. You just do not like any of the answers.
