    no heat yet - ice. I'd give it at least a week until you worry. ice, anti-inflammatories, and try to avoid doing things that obviously make it hurt (or minimize them).

    wheat free does not equal gluten free. many flavors of luna bars have malt, and all have oats.

    mango, I'm glad you like it! I use mashed avocado in my lasagna instead of ricotta (but in much smaller quantities) as well. I've found raw recipes a good source for intolerances. I'd never have found a replacement for ranch dip/dressing without it (though it does use cashews).

    yep - that's my tuna taco recipe. I hate mayo, and can't use sour cream or yogurt like I used to, so I use avocado. quite tasty. add lots of chopped tomato, some onion, maybe some cilantro and cucumber (fairly common in pico de gallo) and eat on a bed of lettuce or spinach, or in a corn tortilla (or as a dip with corn chips!). a little lemon juice if...

    "The best" depends on what you're looking for - I'm fond of help protein powder, as I try to keep my soy consumption down, and it has a good fat ratio. I also like rice protein powder for the taste in smoothies. There's a quinoa/millet powder that is interesting in smoothies as well.

    I have a bunch of pics (>1000) on flickr too. Good place to do some critical eye analysis on photos.

    Don't just assume that they're blowing you off - you're in somewhat controversial territory with the subject matter, and their customer support is designed to help the general public. If they can't help you, it may well be best to avoid their products, but it may be somewhere between ignorance and disagreement, rather than conspiracy. (yes, yes, I'm...

    I've had them - they're an aquired taste and, in my opinion, work far better with savory food rather than sweet, but I like them.

    My doctor also noted that a pneumococcal vaccine was important as celiacs tend to be more susceptible to more severe effects from it (blood borne, not respiratory). She had me get it (I have other risk factors - asthma). I had a pretty bad reaction to it, but they last, on average, about 10 years.

    He might just be a picky eater. My husband is a super taster, and hence a very picky eater. In the past six years or so, he's expanded his taste buds, but he also dislikes bbq sauce (won't eat it), chocolate, cheese, tomatoes, etc. (And he's half italian!) He can recognize that those things could be good, but they're disgusting to him. (Tomatoes are...

    I have never seen anything specific to suggest that odd cholesterol (in the good way) is related to celiac, but if you're not absorbing fat properly... maybe...? One thing though, if you're going to have blood tests, you MUST BE EATING GLUTEN for them to be valid.

    Happy birthday!!!

    We're arguing two different things - and it's a crucial point. This isn't a black or white, all or nothing issue. I certainly don't mean to say that you, Tim, definitely should have stopped had you been there. And the point certainly isn't that everyone would have experienced the same thing - they absolutely would have experienced different things. But...

    200ppm is the CODEX standard, which many people find too high. 20ppm is likely to be the US standard, whenever they decide on it. Besides production plant contamination, there's field contamination, as most fields grown oats and wheat in rotation, and there's *some* wheat in the oat crop itself. I don't know if Bob's uses oats from dedicated fields...

    Taken to the extreme, the reason is because it demonstrates a sense of self-entitlement that is not sustaining in any moral system. This example does not take it to that extreme, but it edges on the slippery slope if people find that they are too busy for 'culture' - however you choose to define it (and, as you point out, it needn't be defined via violinists...

    I disagree with your assessment of the article, but I do agree that a lot of commenting on the article is along those lines. I don't think it's the music, the violin, or the area that's important. I don't think it's the fact that not *everyone* stopped. It's the fact that 0.2% of people stopped. The fact that 0.2% of people honored the fact that the world...

    In my opinion, the point is that beauty doesn't occur on your schedule or in your own context. It occurs in its own time and in its own context. If you're unwilling to break from your set routine and honor it when it occurs, you'll miss it. Sure, not everyone loves classical music or the violin, but more than two people on the DC subway do, and none...

    I would expect that most starchy substances, in our body, are going to release free glutamate, as glutamate is naturally generated from glutamine in the body, and is necessary in the urea cycle. While I haven't done all the research you have, I'm pretty positive that all glutamate isn't equal.

    If the symptoms are the same for you, then it's quite possible that you won't be able to tell. In the end, it doesn't entirely matter - you've got to ride both of them out, avoiding any possible source of either.

    For all of these items, I say: do what works for you. Think about what is practical along with what would make you happy along with what would make other people happy. We had our wedding party (ourselves and our friends who were best men and maids of honor) at one table, and everyone else sat themselves at the restaurant we had our reception at. I would...

    Blech, licorice. I don't know about the others, but - as mentioned - jelly bellies are gluten-free.

    ... were to play some of the most difficult works known on his Strat at a subway station in street clothes with his violin case open, like any common street musician? Would anyone know? Would anyone care? Open Original Shared Link? What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. -- from "Leisure," by W.H. Davies

    What you eat isn't anyone else's choice. They don't have to believe you, they don't have to know the same things you do. They merely have to accept your choice. You tell them "I choose to avoid all contamination. Period. End of discussion." if they are being such ninnies about it, and stick to that. Then, bringing your own food, or eating ahead of time...

    Everyone has a different starting point and a different process that works for them. If counseling would help you deal with the emotional aspects of changing your lifestyle (and there are plenty of emotional aspects), then don't shy away from it! Getting professional help is just a sign that you want to be efficient and effective about making a change!...

    what is the seven day challenge for? seven days isn't long enough for antibodies to show up on a blood test or for damage to show up on a biopsy. so if it's just to see if you react to gluten, you've already done that, and you can cut the experiment short... (I'm a bit confused by the process here...)
