    While it's not really up to them, but with the caterers they contract out to, the airlines may be the only way to exert influence. While I don't take trips that involve meals (mostly flying along the west coast of the US, or even just in the states), I think it's a great idea, and should be done at every opportunity.

    Interesting read. Thanks for posting it. It'd be nice to see it updated, now that a decade has past. I had two quibbles: 1) The treatment of lactose intolerance - lactose itself does not act as a laxative (it's digested by intestinal bacteria which cause the diahrea and gas characteristic of lactose intolerances) and it's not a "few celiacs that are...

    since, depending on your geographic region, chick peas are called garbanzo beans, the concatination of the two words leads to garfava. (Favanzo flour might have sounded a little too wacky to sell. )

    does it make you feel any better to know that someone who's been here since before this board was this board (we had *totally* different software and were somewhat different, but there are a few of us old timers still here) and is one of the top three posters feels the same way to a certain degree? there's a *lot* of people here, and we're all different...

    We need a secret penguin waddle to let us know who's allowed "to know"...

    I vaguely recall that's there's one of those potato flours you might not want to use - or be careful of the ratio - but I don't use potato for baking, so I'm not particularly helpful there.

    I'm surprised the pineapple juice worked, as it's acidic enough they advise not to use it (it'll denature the protein). That's great - I've wanted to try something like that, maybe adding a bit of coconut...

    The standard is 12 to 72 hours, depending on food, person, and general diet.

    I use the regular betty crocker recipe, subbing apple sauce for most of the butter, almond milk for the milk, and a combination of sweet rice flour, sorgum, quinoa or amaranth, and possibly montina.

    Ugh! I'm sorry. I hope you're feeling better soon.

    While I haven't personally seen the studies on soy, you can look up the studies on casein causing villi damage on pubmed. It is *quite* rare.

    I think it's time for the guilty fess-up. The "I really appreciate all you guys try to do, and it means a lot, but I got sick, and I didn't know how to tell you. I'd just rather not risk the contamination; and it can come from so many many places. I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I just didn't want to disappoint you after you guys tried so hard, and I really...

    I think that there's something to the fact that simply feeling like crap for lengthy periods of time will make you feel depressed - in the case of getting 'reglutened', I would think it would be much like a trigger - reminding you of feeling crappy for a long time, which can be *very* depressing.

    ARCHIVED Scary Doctor

    tarnalberry replied to sillyactsue's topic in Doctors

    You have a very standard doctor. Standard teaching, standard thinking. I encourage you to look for a second opinion, but it may be that she's too young for reliable tests. Does she do better on the gluten free diet in multiple ways? Unfortunately, the genes for gluten sensitivity are not recognized by mainstream medicine, and don't have a lot of research...

    I think most here will agree - don't eat if if you're not confident that it's gluten free. Factory cross contamination is one of those things where it *could* be an issue, but it might not be. You don't know for sure. Not reacting isn't a reason for eating small amounts - but that doesn't seem to be what you're asking about. It does get tough, with no...

    If you mean like Rice Crispies, I go with Erewon. If you mean puffed, I go with Arrowhead Mills (but I'm not a huge fan).

    Am I the only one who gets them crunchy right out of the bag? I mean "liter the carpet with rice cake crumps' crunchy.

    Meats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, legumes, and many grains are gluten free - naturally. There's no reason that everyone can't eat together. (I cook for friends often, and it's always gluten and dairy free and everyone loves it.) Keep things simple, and realize that packaged products are going to be the difficult ones, but whole, naturally-gluten-free foods...

    hehehe... hang in there!

    Take a close look at all the foods and other contamination risks that could be still glutening him, and consider other food intolerances as well - as have been suggested. It may take a while to work through, but hopefully you'll get there. Don't give up on working with your doctors to figure this out as well - pursuing multiple paths at once may get you...

    Nah, it's bone. hehehe... (harvested during the full moon only at a particular, secret, location... ) I keep meaning to try making it with Gatorade...

    If you've been primarily gluten-free (or even just fairly gluten-light), you'll likely find your test results unreliable, particularly the tTg. Standard quantities for ingestion for testing are 3-4 slices of bread a day for three months. (That's a pretty big bowl a pasta every day.)

    You can get all kinds of sprouts - I prefer broccoli sprouts, myself. But some sprouts do come from beans (mung, in particular) so you'd have to be aware of what kind you were getting.
  24. tarnalberry
    I've used the plain gelatin (Knoxx) before, and it works just fine. Just follow the instructions. (Assuming you're not trying to find a vegan jello - then go the agar agar route.)
  25. tarnalberry
    yes, congrats on the sensible doctor!
