    One of our family friends is a GI; he is one of the nicest guys you could hope to meet. After the Tsunami he gave up his (well paid consultancy) job and flew to Sri Lanka ... so he is in no way simply a self interested GI ... However: Trying to get him to acknowledge the AI and neuro parts of celiac disease is like talking to a blank wall. He sees...

    I suspect the combination can be a problem: I am hardly allergic to either Soy or Casein, unless I get glutened! 33ppm is 'not a lot' in some ways but certainly enough? Moreover: Your worse reaction doesn't mean the most gluten in a batch ... it could simply be an accumulation over a week or so. I know myself I can often get away with a slice...

    The most important word in that is symptoms. As I perhaps explained poorly earlier we have symptoms we know about and symptoms we don't. As others have alluded, there are also symptoms we didn't think were symptoms at the time but can look back on and retrospectively see were. The problem is that the symptoms we cannot see are damaging us as...

    Why oh why do researchers always want to start out by making a study invalid from inception? Why biopsy proven ? They are happy to use the serological testing for SLE but not celiac disease??? Hmm.. sounds a bit like GI's being over possessive about celiac disease and making sure it is classified as a GI disease not auto immune. They have completely...

    What does that guarantee? If they are deliberately misleading nothing here is actionable: What exactly could you sue them for if you had food analyzed and found gluten? Specifically: Spot screening of ingredients and finished products at University of Nebraska (FARRP - Food Allergy Research and Resource Program) to confirm there are no unlabeled...

    Genes determine if you can get it ... and without the genes you are not going to get it although we don't yet know exactly which genes sequences do and which don't outside of the DQ2 and DQ8. However having celiac disease may not be fun but is certainly not a serious condition by itself once identified. It is not a hardship not to eat wheat any...

    To be fair the difference is WHO gets sick. The problem is the law allows it and Amy's are a business. The primary reason for a business is to make as much money for shareholders as possible ... the second reason is to provide as much money to shareholders as possible. Whilst companies are allowed to label gluten-free when it is not they will...

    A gluten-free carrot is the same price as any other .... (in other words there is a lot you can eat which is no different in price to non-gluten-free) Noone has to buy gluten-free bread or pasta ... it is not like we have to have it. (although it is sometimes convenient) I buy some but very little: I buy gluten-free soy sauce, Kallo stock cubes ...

    Regardless you have had this since birth ... The symptoms may have been masked for a part of that time but they were still in the background. I'm male and didn't get symptoms until 27-28 when I got typhoid and my stomach never recovered however looking back the symptoms had been present since I was a baby and just disappeared in my teens. You...

    Getting negative results because you haven't been on gluten long enough though will just give him reason to send you for a 3rd opinion???? It is a bit of a risk but you could make sure your diet is documented and the relevancy of the tests is therefore suspect. Alternatively, why not send your Doctor to a shrink ... sounds like he has a case of...

    Remove the seasoning as best you can, a wirebrush on a drill works wonders. Then you need to use oven cleaner (Caustic soda, NaOH or KOH) both of which are quite bad to breath in... (or get on your skin) They are bad for you because they will break down anything organic ... even some of the most stubborn molecules like gluten. In low concentrations...

    Or stick it in the dishwasher at the same time as something containing gluten. Since a non stick pan is so easy to clean then its a good idea to get a different color washing cloth you can use on your gluten-free pans, plates and cutlery.

    In most cases but sooner or later an accident will happen. I once subscribed to this and was cooking for a friend, different pan, spoons etc. Somehow when i served the pasta one of his had found its way into mine... did I use the wrong spoon? I guess I must have but I really couldn't remember! After this I stopped having any gluten in the house...

    I'll second the two options ... Lots of people have never thought of making chicken nuggets but they take no time at all ... neither do chicken wings, drumsticks etc. Making chicken nuggets is actually a good way to use up waste expensive gluten-free bread. I find half the time the sliced stuff breaks before I get it home or when you handle it.....

    Its really a matter of expectations: Does a gluten-free corn tortilla taste better than one with added wheat? Personally I like 'real' corn tortillas ... I'm sure some people are accustomed to the 'softer' ones with a high proportion of wheat flour. (Not talking gluten-free specific here) The same can be said for bread ... of course we remember...

    This is simply a matter of dogma and belief: Open Original Shared Link The council of Trente made it clear that what you (believe) are eating is the body and blood of Christ. The 1st Nicean Council made it clear in the Nicene Creed that the body of Christ is 'of one substance'. they even invented a new greek word to 'clarify this'. (ἐκπορεύεσθ...

    Don't tell your MD the second one and expect them to take you seriously. Mercury doesn't just leave the body when you stop eating tuna. The reason it is in tuna to start with is that it is a cumulative poison. The test for h. pylori is not only simple but cheap. The treatment is either simple & cheap or complex and expensive. The difference...

    First off: Does it taste better is a pointless question as it is subjective. It is as relevant as Pepsi vs Coca Cola or McDo vs Burger King. Does it taste more like the bread you used to eat is a more objective question and the answer might be yes. Far more relevant is is origin of the CODEX standard for gluten-free. I have posted this before...

    I honestly would say that one month is not long enough. This is not to say it is the correct approach or treatment but that 1 month is really hardly starting off if you are coming from serious problems. One thing it seems unlikely to do is make you worse unless you start compensating with something else. Obviously the classic here is where people...

    Popular? Sounds as much fun as winning the lottery. Why now? 1) Failure of medical system 2) Access to internet 3) Did I mention the failure of the medical systems? Why 'middle aged women? 1) Statistically more stay home and are homebuilders than men. 2) See 1-3 above. 3) Statistically: more women see women Dr's ... could it be that...

    I have tried an extremely strict elimination diet (under the supervision of a very experienced dietician), soy/fructose/legume/lactose/egg free diet after that, neither have been useful and my dietician discontinued them as they weren

    As the one who started the rat poison adage I still struggle on the 'but surely you can eat a little' and such. For me the worst situation is when people TRY ... you KNOW they don't get it but then they try and keep assuring you its fine. The pressure to try because they did just makes it all the harder for me.

    Yet you also said: "My question is how do I know if I'm making mistakes on the diet if I have no digestive symptoms." https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...c=43959&hl= So how do you know that it is "so far so good?"

    RobinN and Roda hit the nail on the head... You might also check yourself and make sure you are not getting CC or small amounts of hidden gluten. CODEX gluten is enough for me to get the exact symptoms you describe... Is this due to glycaemic index? Possibly ... A good sublingual B supplement seems to help... but ultimately it is when I take little...
