    In retrospect after 2 divorces, legal expenses, family court, 60/40 property divisions, child support and kids that haven't communicated for over a decade, perhaps impotence would have been a blessing. After all (and whether you believe it or not), there really is more to life than.... Plus, it would help clean up the gene pool.

    It's a brave soul that eats in an airport. I have never been to that particular airport. However in general, if I really need to eat and cannot bring a small snack with me, I usually satisfy myself with simply steamed rice, if available. It tends to satisy my hunger (although not my senses). For the sake of full disclosure, I normally only consider...

    Made this dish today and had it for lunch. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing it.

    I know where you are coming from. I have traveled a lot due to business and also because I like SCUBA diving. When it was just gluten I had to avoid, it was hard enough and I usually lost 15 or more pounds per trip. About 3 yrs ago, I suddenly developed allergies to a long list of common foods. The addition of that pretty much ended travel, at least anything...

    IMHO, you are missing the point. Your question focuses on a single glutening. Looking at the entirety of your post, there is a much more important issue. You say you have been gluten-free for 6 years but eat gluten (albeit accidentally) 5-10 times a year. Taken literally, that is an obvious contradiction. The reality is that someone is only gluten-free...

    Have you found any info? I noticed the pasta sauces yesterday in my grocery. There's no info on the company's web site. I'll try calling them today but judging by other posts that may not be too productive. Thanks.

    Thanks for checking.

    Would you be willing to share info about the recommendation of your ND? I would be very interested in recommended dosage (i.e. milligrams), frequency (times per day) and how long the L-glutamine should be taken (i.e. one week, one month, indefinitely). The reason I ask is that I found one article on the web that said that the OTC capsules contained...

    Many thanks for posting the link to the article. It contains an interesting and valuable perspective. One question for general response: At the end of the article (the paragraph immediately preceding the conclusion), glutamic acid is mentioned in a negative light. How does that correlate to L-glutamine which has been put forward by some as something...

    I joined Netflix and have access to lots of British programming now. I watched the first MI-5 episode and became an instant addict. It's a great series. I'm caught up in season 6 now. (Please don't post any spoilers.) I tried searching for existing posts but the search function doesn't work on short search strings.

    I hear what you are saying. I went through the same thing. Unless people themselves face this situation, they do not recognize the complexities and problems. First, talking about gluten-free menus is bogus. All they mean is that the odds are more in your favor. They are no guarantee whatsoever that you are safe. Anyone who doubts this can search this...

    The drama is more like gardening noir, if there is such a genre. This is just my 2nd yr of gardening so admittedly I am a newbie. Nonetheless, I feel snakebit. The season started with a month of cold, clouds and rain. Nothing would grow. A couple beds were replanted 3, even 4 times. Things that tried to hold on were eaten by the deer and groundhogs...

    I tried cherry tomatoes this year and am having the same problem with most of the tomatoes bursting and not getting very red. Does it help to stop watering them and to keep the ground drier? I was assuming tomatoes needed lots of water. If anyone has tips on keeping out unwanted visitors, those tips will be appreciated. Last year, I converted my...

    No need to apologize. My post was more than a bit tongue-in-cheek.

    If you can't let go, then try the opposite: totally embrace it. My brother taught be something invaluable a long time ago. It had to do with how to fall asleep when there was an annoying, irritating noise that kept you from sleeping, such as someone snoring, a dog barking, a faucet dripping, a neighbor with a noisy party, etc. The secret is not to...

    To me, the suggestion of eating during off-peak hours has always seemed reasonable. While I was going to school, I worked in a kitchen as a short-order cook. Based on that experience, I can understand fully the reasoning behind the recommendation. I agree that eating off-hours creates problems in regard to socialization. However, trade offs are...

    Another element in the equation is how celiacs react to mistakes by others. Someone who launches into a rant (no matter how justified) when someone makes a mistake could be a liability (at least in my view). For example, before my additional food allergies I was going on SCUBA trips with my friends. We usually booked trips on live-aboards (you stayed...

    Ditto. A long time ago I worked third shift and "breakfast" was the meal I ate after getting off work. Something more substantial than typical breakfast fare was in order. A plus is that a substantial dinner-like meal in the morning really sets you up well for the rest of the day.

    I have additional food allergies and I think you have responded to a couple of my posts. Last weekend, I had a very unexpected reaction. Corn was on my allergen list. Over time, the reaction was becoming less and less pronounced. About a month ago, I ate some corn chips (as a test) and had pratically no reaction (the usual reaction has been right-side...

    I can add that voice problems can be related to food allergies as well. I developed allergies to a long list of food (in addition to the celiac prohibited list). The reaction causes no celiac-type symptoms. Rather, there is swelling in my neck. When I am on the far side of that and it is clearing up, my voice becoomes very hoarse.

    Flavored bottled water could possibly contain gluten. I grabbed a bottle of water at a meeting once without thinking to check whether or not it was unflavored. It turned out to be flavored and made me sick. Two footnotes: Aquafina is just purified tap water. My understanding is that the bottles now display a disclaimer to that effect. I've switched...

    What you are saying about labeling is absolutely correct. Nonetheless, i still would have to disagree with your conclusion for a couple of reasons. IMHO, clear, legislated labeling is not enough to make a decision. I think you yourself agree with this due to your inclusion of the word "generally". First, there is always the chance of accidental cross...

    I vote for terraforming a planet and keeping it gluten-free. It could become the home world for all celiacs.
