    Thats fine then, so long as you eat some vegatables is way better than non. If your doing that though I'd skip rice, its nutritionally pretty dead ... and instead go for green veg and things which will have a lot of the nutrients you miss in meats and fish alone. Just also wondering with the yeast infection ... have you tried pro-biotics? It might...

    At 20 months the blood test is far more likely to give a false negative... the only downside of starting him on a gluten-free diet is that ensures that all tests will be negative so if you want confirmation later you have to decide if he will eat gluten or not. As a middle of the road you could get genetic testing to see if he is predisposed.

    The sugar is mainly needed for the browning. Its the sugar part that does that but pureed fruit or juice as others suggest will do the same thing. If you leaveit out altogether it won't taste that different ... (less sweet obviously but you are probably used to that) so go ahead and try ... it will be less sticky at the end but for the taste just marinade...

    quite often it might not be that food but a delayed or reoccuring item or CC somewhere else. Remember you can get CC just catching a bus ... its not a huge risk but its one of those thousands of tiny risks we do everyday ... for instance you sit on some crumbs and then when your home you transfer them to the sofa then after you wash your hands you brush...

    Yep quite honestly can't see why anyone buys barbecue sauce when it only takes a few minutes to make and you can add countless variations...especially if you marinade the meat/chicken etc. since then you spend 5 mins prep and a few hours marinading ... its not like it cuts down total prep and cooking time On top of this you can add for instance pureed...

    ARCHIVED How Do We Make This Better?

    gfp replied to cupp125's topic in Doctors

    This sums it up .... (IMHO) Firstly if you have to buy it .. not the cost but because that makes it seem like someone is making something from it... note I said SEEM .. because they are probably just covering costs but its how it seems ... someone has something to sell but that product doesn't offer any return in terms of income for the Dr. (cynical...

    The thing is (IMHO) the reaction is so variable ... at least for me the amount of gluten bears no real correlation to how much I eat. Like many here I have eaten a whole pizza and though I got away with it only to crash 3 days later and I have had the tiniest CC and reacted in an hour. Most toxins decay in half lives... that is you get rid of more...

    Just really some pointers so you are not confusing yourself .... First gluten is a protein, not a carbohydrate. It comes packaged in carb rich foods but the gluten itself is a protein. Secondly the primary toxicity of gluten is as a exorphin, that is an external protein that can bind to the endorphin receptors. These are the same receptors that opiates...

    A lot of posts just seem to dissapear ...? Just accept it as part of this forum I guess ...A sometimes post replies that just dissapear into the ether (this one might) ??? but its a commericial venture ... I guess the owner decides what is allowed and what is not. (and the "rules are basically only applied as and when) The most frustrating are the...

    I would also discuss what the Dr. will interpret a negative biopsy as. If at the moment they are happy then you get a false negative biopsy how will this affect their view? Sometimes less can be more ... On the other hand if they view the biopsy as a way to view the extent of the damage (not diagnose celiac) it can also show the amount of damage...

    As others have pointed out, if your mom keeps going on about it it's because she doesn't think you listened, I do the same thing ... What gets it out of my system is the other person actually listening all the way through (not sidetracking or going off on a tangent or walking out). If you do this ONCE then she knows you got it and it will be easier...

    No because you don't adsorb fibre, that is basically what fibre is... (the part of food that is passed through in simple terms). Rice, especially white has not so much fibre... basically its the part that is gotton rid of in white rice BUT the figures can be misleading because they often refer to uncooked rice. Hence per oz or hundred grams uncooked it...

    Sorry it wasa quick answer before work! As I said, most over the counter pain meds have a rather stressing effect on one organ or another. Because of the connection between "pleasure" and "pain relief" there is actually a lot of bias against the more effective ones which are also seen as recreational drugs. Codeine is far less bad for you than...

    Lactic acid is so named because it was first isolated from milk products but it is just another organic acid that our own bodies produce naturally anyway. It is a normal byproduct of exersizing muscle. For more info google the "cori cycle"

    Yolo, my comment asn't really directed at you (as much as people reading the thread) However its interesting that you say it comes back when glutened. I used to get a migrane at least once a month and it would last up to 2-3 days on occaisions. Now they are a thing of the past except very infrequently when I'm glutened .... Anyway, they are the...

    Just a point .. migranes shouldn't really be put up with. They are actually dangerous (more so in men). Much as Yoga and herbal stuff can be great for mild headaches if you are getitng a migrane the best thinig is to treat it before it develops as they do a lot of damage to your system regardless once they do.

    True but it can seem that way sometimes ! Often generic seems less so than brand name. I guess because the pills are 'packaged' cosmetically ? Mostly 'own brands' seem better for being gluten-free and they have the added benefit of being cheaper ...

    Depending on the severity ... generic ibuprofen (find a cheap brand and check the product sheet then stick to that brand) Severe I get prescrpition codeine phosphate. Combined with Promethazine which doesbles the efficiency of conversion into morphine in the liver it is quite effective so long as you don't need to drive etc. Promethazine can be bought...

    ARCHIVED The Bleus

    gfp replied to BallardWA's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    There are a few permatations ... Blue cheese can be split into 'authentic' blue cheeses and copies. (and some between just to complicate matters) ... A 'pure' blue cheese is started with live but native penicillin. In a real authentic blue cheese this is native to the caves where it is matured. In some cases a gluten-base is used to kick this off and...

    ARCHIVED French Fries

    gfp replied to sammers1's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I don't really think eating out anywhere is 100% safe but especially not fast food. You will probably get some good examples but bear in mind a dedicated frier is only as dedicated as the attention paid to it. I really doubt any fast food place is going to empty the whole frier if something falls in ... So long as you bear this in mind, then you take...

    Unfortunately true !!! You can usually tell if they are interested or .... its just another patient on another day. If the MD/GI doesn't respond and LISTEN its going to be an uphill battle. Even when they acknowledge one aspect you will need to fight for the next. Easier to get a GI that is aware or willing to listen... One day it might be "something...

    Its also quite treatable (short term). You possibly keep coughing too (or clearing your throat). Pre-diagnosis I had this so bad I was breathing in so much stomach acid it paralysed my lungs. Omneparazole will stop the acid (short term) and make sure your bed is elevated at the head end (A few thick books under the matress etc.) Acid reflux can...

    Just click on the region down the left and it lists towns. However there are many places that have at least heard of celiac disease they have a friend or family member etc. so they are much easier to deal with, understand CC etc..

    Sorry, I have to agree. The bottom line here is that the teacher deliberately ignored you... She really needs a good kick up the ass but I think you will have to make do with the meeting and take a witness. This is likely to happen one more time ... the teacher sounds like one of those "I know better" types so I doubt you can change their mind so...
