  1. Just to be clear, I noted that I keep Gluten Ease on hand "in case of accidental glutening". I agree that someone should never intentionally eat anything in excess of 20 ppm gluten with the idea that Gluten Ease will protect them. But it appears that this product can be helpful in reducing symptoms when one accidentally ingests significant gluten. Also...
  2. I am Celiac and always keep some Gluten Ease on hand in case of accidental glutening. Last week I made some waffles, grabbing a box of pancake/ waffle mix from the shelf where we keep our gluten free products. After eating 3 waffles, my wife noticed that the box did not say "Gluten Free". It turns out that someone gave us a box of regular wheat flour type...
  3. The paper is not easy to follow (the "Conclusion" in the paper doesn't even say what the "Abstract Conclusion" says!), but I found the following statement: "Thirty-six per cent of patients who regard themselves as fully adherent to a Gluten Free Diet, but encounter a non-purposeful/ accidental exposure to dietary gluten, report a greater severity of symptoms...
  4. Here's an example of the math for an approximation of the gluten consumed: You use 90g of flour with 17 ppm gluten in a loaf of bread. Say your loaf of bread weighs 360g and assume it has 10 slices of bread and you eat two slices. So you have eaten 20% (i.e., 2/10) of 360g, 0.20x360 = 72 grams of bread. The flour consitiutes one-quarter of the weight...
  5. I agree with kareng: it seems that I keep seeing the same comments as before. I will not respond any more to comments that say little more than "your'e wrong, we're right" unless accompanied by legitimate factual sources. Let's return this thread to the questions raised by Afitgirl, which is what I was originally responding to.
  6. So "glutendude" is considered to be a "legitimate source"?? Ramblings about gluten testing of beer without any new facts? I would guess that many people on this forum with celiac disease eat foods labeled "Gluten Free". So here is my rambling... I have celiac disease, so I eat foods labeled "Gluten Free". But Gluten Free only means "less...
  7. Thanks for posting the paper from the Journal of Gastrointestinal and LIver Diseases. However, the conclusion is a little vague to me: "Patients with consistent GFD adherence experience a SRDG faster and more severe in comparison to prior gluten exposure possibly demonstrating an adept immunological response." Is the reference to "prior gluten...
  8. I am just reporting what works for me - as I said, draw your own conclusions. I do not eat food known to contain more than 20 ppm gluten. notme!: a bite of "normal" pizza would likely be more than 20 mg of gluten!! I make my own gluten free pizza. beth01: I regularly and intentionally ingest poison - drinking water, food from the grocery store...
  9. notme!: My references to "anal" used the same language as the original posters - I was only using the language they had initiated. And I have repeatedly stated that people that react with symptoms to minute amounts of gluten should not do what I do. I have been told that I cannot suggest that anyone can intentionally ingest even trace amounts of gluten...
  10. beth01: I am sorry to hear that you have had so many issues with gluten. I fully support your right to be "anal" about gluten. (FYI, you are right in that I was only diagnosed 2 years ago, so my time dealing with celiac disease has been relatively short.) I am only advocating my approach for those that are not extremely sensitive and find that...
  11. I've recently heard a couple of people with Celiac's disease state that you will become more sensitive to trace amounts of gluten the longer you have been on a gluten free diet. Has that been proven by testing or is that just how "some people react"? I was diagnosed 2 years ago and I try to maintain a gluten free diet. I do react to severe glutenings...
  12. AFitGirl: I know some will disagree with me, but I am not quite as "anal" about possibly ingesting small amounts of gluten. I do agree that you should be anal about avoiding foods that are likely to contain more than 20 ppm gluten content. I was diagnosed with Celiac's 2 years ago. I do react to significant amounts of gluten, but I am not as severely...
