    For the record, noone on this thread even contributed ..... and I read the lovely comments as well... I have been going through some "stuff" and my life has fallen apart a bit... Ursula sweetest HUGS.... I possibly just missed your eMail...sorry.

    You don't have user agent switcher installed too do you? I'm on a late FF build and flash is definately installed (if I go to the link I provided)....then I can see the site.... and use it so I obviously do have a suitable flash version... very weird? aha,,, just read the page source.. it works for FF so long as you are running Windows.

    The other problem is of course we just want to feel better! The MD and shrinks however are more worried about being sued.... If they change a med after you have a bad reaction then .. well it looks like their meds are to blame...and indeed they might be but they might be retiscent to change them immediately .... If YOU suggest the change then at least...

    The only helpful suggestion is that the school keep an eye on him... at 3 1/2 your not really in a position to explain but perhaps you can create an association = food you give = no pain and food you don't = pain... fever is normal... his body "thinks" it has a virus ... The best cure is lots of HUGS and CUDDLES from mom!

    comforts not really important... you can always tie them down.

    Chrissy, that exactly my concern.... that and I don't see the point... even if they did how could they stop it cross pollenating? It reminds me of Jurassic Park and the "Its OK the dinosaurs can't breed" line!

    Sounds like you got yourself an allergist worth keeping!

    Generic or not physcotropics are dangerous.... I would really be adverse to using them myself after readong so many horror stories... I do have a friend who is a qualifed physchiatrist who doesn't practice (not so well paid here in France) and he is avidly against use without medical monitoring.... That said there are so many and some are far safer...

    My cat never got canned or dried food except when he was in a cattery and he was always sick after.... chicken broth is fine.. probably a damned site better than the tinned and dried stuff... anyway... Cat's are fussy differently to us... they don't mind offcuts and the like and can eat around almost anything they don't wanna eat... like tiny bones.....

    I'd take some immodium too.... at least this way its one less worry... you can do what you have to do... and try and mitigate at least one annoying symptom .... You'll do it.... and then you can get home and flop .... and start worrying about what exactly caused it... and hopefully hubby can make dinner and not use anything "new" ....

    I see what your saying, its just that we already have reduced gluten "wheat" in terms of rye for instance... I think the other half of my retiscence is I just don't feel comfy with more frankenstein type crops.... In other words trying to do this semi-naturally I don't see we will get the sequence we need to be sticky enough yet not trigger autoimmune...
  12. gfp
    LOL... its what you're used to ... several hundred million Indians find it homely Its not really just the single sequence, barely and rye don't have EXACTLY the same sequence just one close enough... and they are problably further away (genetically) from wheat than wheat is from its wilder forebears... Its not that its not interesting .... its just that...

    ARCHIVED Geneve

    gfp posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    My girlfriend will be spending a year in Geneve and soi I'll be spending a lot of time there... we'll be visiting soon but any help/info etc. greatly appreciated... resto's, where to buy gluten-free food... do peple "get it" ... I can't see how it can be worse than France so that gives me a positive

    Nothing amazing ... I can suggest except take some immoium and get relief one way... and treat yourself to a hot bath with some nice gluten-free bubbles or something... if you lived closer I'd drop some of my chicken soup off which always works for me Take it easy... its just bad timing and bad luck .... take a break from houseowrk if you feel that...

    But please ask her to contribute to the thread! Don't just pm forwards and back (please)....

    Yeah but what I mean is the traditional non-gluten products are not trying to emulate the others... For example for me a wheat "burrito" is just nasty... I can't understand why anyone would want to eat anything other than a corn one... The point I'm trying to make is we have developed products that are based on the properties of wheat... so even of we...
  17. gfp
    Not really.. man started tampering with wheat 12,000 yrs ago when he started selecting the biggest/fattest etc. By Roman times many different wheats were common.... and classified... The whole debate is IMHO pointless anyway because it is the gluten that gives wheat its properties... without the gluten what would be the point for baking etc. ??? ...

    Erm I would I just don't think people want my opinion!!!! My opinion is if a child doesn't want to give blood you slap them round the head until they do.... Sorry.... I can't accept not giving a few cc's of blood as a reason not to condemn a child to spend a lifetime in misery....or developing horrible diseases... Having said that the tests are...

    ARCHIVED Speak To Me

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

    Hey... I do this all the time but I just fry them.... and I'm very happy with the results... I find the gluten-free bread already has that dry/hard texture to start with... your's might (well probably are) be better but mine I find almost foolproof and REALLY quick and easy.

    ARCHIVED Speak To Me

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

    Kelly..... I think you are making a VERY wise choice and one I wasn't smart enough to do at 1st.... What I would say is having your gluten-free haven is VERY important... (it is to me)... However after A while I do eat out... and I do get sick on occaision....ITS IMPOSSIBLE to be gluten-free and eat out regualrly because try as they might (or sometimes...

    The problem here is people make statements in good faith ... but they presume you live in America. Firstly maltodextrin is not safe.... neither is a very long list of things which peple here say are safe... unless its manufactured in America. There are also a couple of people who who post it out of spite.... in order to make you sick because they...

    Yep, I find it interesting... I think conventional wisdom would say the antibody reactions are unlinked but this leaves me with 2 possibilities I guess... 1/ I'm also allergic to wheat and hence have an IgE reaction 2/ The immune system is more complex than medicine understands... My "normal hay fever level" is one I wouldn't take meds for except perhaps...
  23. gfp
    Dunno about you but mine is REAL hayfever... That is I don't have hay fever unless I'm glutened (perhaps the slightest touch) but when I am I get hayfever and anti-histamines work so its a real allergy (IgE) reaction.... same goes for other allergies I have like lavendar and geranium... both dissapear when Im gluten-free well lavendar oil goes from a severe...

    But its not so simple... the US uses many fertilisers etc. that are banned in Europe and Europe ones banned in the US... Toxic is.... quite relative... indeed from the alternate viewpoint many European and US companies use 3rd world countires to make our toxic products... ones our legislation wouldn't allow us to make/use at home... Absolutely...

    Wow, which order to give my experiences... Naples has two gluten-free resto's on the same street right down town.. both have gluten-free pizza and pasta, one requires you book in advance for the pizza... a third one has gluten-free beer!!! Different street... I'll look up names later... Rome has everything of course... for a splash up meal Alexando...
