    Its OK but it won't give you the same feedback as a good trainer regarding good technique. Even experienced trainers need other experienced trainers to spot flaws in technique .. and its human nature to develop these 'flaws' because it makes things easy for us... its a lot like you naturally limp if you get a thorn in the foot... so we tend to cut certain...

    Ah.. continental .... yeah couldn't quite work out what language they speak let alone feel safe with the food. Practically every sign on the plane seemed to be in mixed languages ... starting off in one and finishing in the other ... I don't think I ever saw anything quite so screwed up at 35,000' ... don't get me wrong I can read/understand spanish fine...

    Much as it is obviously better the kids are on board voluntarily I think discussing this is somewhat pointless past a point? Look at it this way, are you going to discuss her smoking or taking drugs or tell her? I realise that is a bit more drastic but if you believe her health is at risk why discuss it?

    Well its a bit of both really .... However "and it's just not right to ask me to give up eating out too" .. some people have to give up all sorts of things, being in direct sunlight or a whole multitude of other things. It really isn't fair but that's life... From the resto's POV they are in the business to make money... and their real problem is more...

    There are studies saying 20ppm is safe, personally as they are funded by the food industry I prefer to remain sceptical... More directly I know I react to the 20ppm stuff... if not immediately as you say over time it seems to build up... and in some ways be worse than a big glutening because of the way it creeps up and by the time you put your finger...

    Well it's not so easy.. The difficulties are two fold... The simplest is that the 'normal' ranges are used and these have a wide range... your antibodies will drop off over time and this is pretty individual, not only for the person but also the time in your life and other health issues etc. The results will be compared to this norm so a 'slightly...

    Well, I got some chelated potassium and magnesium yesterday ... Will report back on the results vis a vis cramps ....

    I can't agree more with Deb.. Its so easy to fall into that trap, I did it myself too.

    It all makes sense and I was wondering about potassium and magnesium ... Um... well I guess I was beating about the bush a little... What I mean is that when blood flow is diverted because of arousal then the cramps in my feet and calves just seem to trigger much more easily. I think your correct about the place and time thing but only from the...

    True but the other half of the issue is knowing where you might be getting CC from.... From personal experience I find overkill useful in the elimination process.. That is even if you think it might be the pan and you're feeling your getting glutened somewhere it just adds to the possibilities... Far better IMHO is to get 1-2 new but cheap pans.....

    I'm not sure this is something easy to explain as much as experience.... Its like describing a piece of music or art work.. words only describe so much and the subtleties are lost .... From my personal experience and what others tell me is perhaps a starting point... One way I feel is like i'm in a strange in-body-outa body experience... I don't mean...

    OK,.. read on... you were warned.. and this is just a little embarrassing... and seriously you have been warned... So for those who don't know I guess it should be said I recently (a few months ago) split up a long term (5yr) relationship in a very messy and traumatic way... the relevant part of which my girlfriend was having an affair she denied even...

    Yeah me too ... Its just the byproducts .. which as we all know are not great for us .. but hey gotta live.

    Are you CERTAIN its a cold and not allergies? I spent a long time thinking I had 'colds' that turned out tobe allergic reactions (hay fever, city fumes, budgies to name a few) Symptoms are lots of phlegm ... and headaches and the constant phlegm causes me to cough and irritate my throat.. These disapeared almost completely when I went 100% gluten...

    Pretty much true.... however Americans always seem to think there is such a thing as Irish or German etc. when most Europeans realise they are all mixed up. I think it goes back to when their family emigrated and they presume they must have a 100% pure blood line prior to that date or something??? Most of the 'incidence' differences are just down to...

    If you still have gluten around the kitchen then they will not really be gluten-free anyway... (really like blueeyedamanda said) For the rest... I dunno, if kids were to eat what they liked then it would probably be a pretty poor diet! The gluten-free bread is rubbish .. sometimes the homemade is OK but mostly i just avoid it! You can make decent...

    Well I think this is all the problem. This is just the first link but at the time I read more. People had letters (in America) from McDonalds saying the fries WERE vegetarian (following the change from using tallow) The final wording of the settlement is a compromise (obviously) ... The reason this is important is I read the whole analysis of McDo...

    Each country is different ... UK you can get stuff in supermarkets reasonably easily .. there are quite a few that label reasonably well but look for WHEAT FREE as well as Gluten free. Some of the London supermarkets have almost nothing in the specific gluten-free ranges. You can usually buy cooked meats etc. ready sliced and many are gluten-free Eating...

    It really is.... I honestly think if we looked at this out of context it is the sort of thing you would see on a TV programme like house! 1/ We have a patient becomes ill when eating gluten 2/ (optional) We have blood tests showing this 3/ We have a patient respond well to a gluten-free diet 4/ We ask the patient to damage themselves so we can have...

    The testing they did said conclusively that the fries did contain gluten. If you find the actual PDF document (and I don't have time now) it is written in such a way as to make you think its negative because they start off with a ELISA test which was negative then write a whole lot... later on they have the results of the RAST test which were positive.....

    Ok, insurance aside.... Why feel bad about being tested? This whole stigma thing is so stupid .... Firstly the worst possible case.. lets say you had cause to want to be tested because you had unprotected sex with a stranger .. Ok, a bit stupid in todays age but YOUR BUSINESS all the same... but this is just one reason for being tested!!!! A...

    Difficult question... My mom and I are both diagnosed and my brother manages not to be. He chooses not to do a gluten-free diet but I honstly believe it would benefit him regardless of the test results since his 'symptoms' are very much like mine and my mothers when we are glutened.

    I feel very strongly on this so sorry if this sounds strong. I very much doubt your doctor would put themselves through this or their child! What your doctor is asking is for you to deliberately go and damage an internal organ. Smoking also causes cancer... imagine going to the Dr. and saying your concerned because you have chest pains etc. your so...
