    technically, it's the wheat grain, sprouted and grown. the chemical transition of gluten proteins from the grain into the blade of grass is an asypmtotic process, and you can't know exactly when it's "complete". and that's all assuming that it's harvested without ever getting an incompletely sprouted grain in the harvest as well. wheatgrass is out.

    pubmed has the studies you're looking for. particularly european ones will address the issue, since they are the ones who more generally use wheat starch processed to remove the gluten. there's another study out there that specifically covers the particular 33-mer of the protein that the immune system recognizes that causes tTg to start the molecular train...

    you can check pubmed for the casein-induced enteropathy studies.

    I'm sorry that you don't seem to have the right counselor for your son. It's true that your son needs to participate, but that doesn't mean that *nothing* else can be done. Psychologists work with more recalcitrant patients all the time.

    unfortunately, its got some bad information. not every celiac needs to avoid casein. it is *not* so structurally similar that all celiacs react to it (in fact, most research does *not* support cross-reactivity theory on these two proteins.) additionally, not all hvp is bad. hydrolyzed vegetable protein can be made from corn or soy, for instance, and...

    well, the anti-gliadin antibody is specific for gliadin, the wheat protein. not a starch, and nothing generic. also, you'll note that all the studies that show reversal of damage on the gluten free diet do *not* imply that the diet the person is eating is free of starch. far from it, in most cases. in fact, I believe <edited to remove wrong information...

    If I am not Celiac and I try the diet, will I be messing up my body? (cutting gluten out, seeing it doesn't help, then going back to gluten?) The celiac diet (merely removing wheat, barley, rye, and oats) can be perfectly safe for anyone. There is no fundamental, nutritional need in humans for wheat, barley, rye, or oats. Of course, like *any* diet,...

    ooo... maybe they'll put out a plain that doesn't have so much sugar (but also doesn't have artificial sweeteners) soon.

    definitely not the same. celiac has been found at a higher incidence in some populations than others, but we're not talking 1:10,000 in one, and 1:100 in another. It always seems to vary between ~1:100 and 1:500, right around the same order of magnitude.

    purplemom, you are correct. organic does not mean uncontaminated with wheat. you have no idea who simply granola gets their oats from, and if it's not advertising "gluten-free" oats... well, I'd bet money that they're not.

    There'd still be the question of the regular - non-sunscreen - lotions people may have put on before coming to the hot tub. But it's not something that I would worry about - again, from a dosing perspective and likelihood perspective. The chemicals themselves - even those that are not chlorine - I can't imagine having wheat, for purely chemical reasons...

    I would have said exactly what psawyer said.

    I have them. Diagnosed at 23! Dairy is what makes them worse for me (due to the constipation). Basically, it feels like the skin's been ripped, and there's maybe a touch of blood on the stool. More often, for me, it's just on the toilet paper. Sitting down... is a bit too much of a burn for me, right afterwards. Almost invariably, it will be...

    According to the study a year or two ago, McCanns was one of the brands specifically tested, and some of the batches tested *did* have gliadin levels above 200ppm. McCanns does *not* say that they're oats are gluten free, just that they do not crop rotate with wheat on the same land and don't use the same milling facility.

    we have gas. particularly if you've had it for a while, it can taste nearly the same. (I saw that from actual comparisons.) and, quite frankly, there is no beating waiting 5 minutes for a grill to heat up, and having approximately a 2 minute cleanup time. no ash to dump billowing everywhere. have a spare tank around and you're good for a couple months...

    Interesting... none of the falafel I've had or made have bulgar. I've seen a handful of recipes that use it, but more often than not, it's just garbanzo bean (chickpeas) as in the recipe above. (I also bake, rather than fry.)

    lol... guess it depends on who makes the pie! my apple and strawberry pies have nearly no added sugar, just the cut fruit.

    The cost of independent facilities throughout the manufacturing process are *very* high, and in many cases, the cost/benefit analysis will *not* put dedicated lines or facilities as the winner. It's good for them to have the data, but we do need to keep in mind that the business case is not on our side. (1% is not a big enough market, and "just gluten intolerant...

    there have been studies that show that some celiacs do just fine on uncontaminated, pure oats, when eaten in moderate (1/2 cup a day) quantities. that's not all, that's not any oats, and that's not a lot of oats. so, as usual, headlines often misleadingly scratch the surface.

    Millet is a small, round grain. If you've ever seen millet sprays for birds - that's it. Around a millimeter in diameter. Different people have different opinions of the flavor. I find it, cooked pain, to be relatively boring and bland, but if dry-toasted first, has a bit of a nutty flavor that is quite pleasant. It gets cooked like rice, though...

    I would also suggest considering a counselor at this point, if he is that bent on harming himself (because, really, that's what he's doing). There's a reason he's doing it, and it may take a lot of psychological savvy to help him stop.

    ARCHIVED Doctor Won't Test Son

    tarnalberry replied to deesmith's topic in Doctors

    Reflecting on this statement, it seems very sad to me that this common idea (oh, I don't want to see the doctor for that, it'll cost money) is soooo prevalent in the US. (This isn't meant as a reply to you hathor, but your statement got me thinking.) If you value your health, you will be willing to use your resources (time, money, energy) on it - more so...

    Partially, it's an active choice. I sometimes have problems with it too, and really, if you buckle down, and choose to follow through on one of your methods, you can. If you think about it, you do *see* that bottle when you clean around it or make your coffee, and yet you choose to not open it and take one right there. So I think it's more than just figuring...

    Just for clarification, as my post had no quote from you, and did not use a director near the comment (such as calling you by name, referencing your post, or referencing any single post), there is no indication I was talking directly to you. And, in fact, I wasn't. It's unfortunate if the timing of my post in a board as temporally linear as this gave...
