    If you don't believe the article then how could it be referring to you? The point I'm trying to make is that with this or the other thread one has to be considered part of a whacko minority by the majority... I can't quite see how you mistake ? unless you just want to? Why are you angry at me for pointing out many people think you are wacko? Its not...

    Larry, couldn't agree more.... Its a shame ... its like I say on the "green thread" you practically have to be a "whacko" to actually believe this... ??? When I was at school in the UK we were force fed milk... literally forced, if you didn't drink it the teachers would assult you and hold your nose while squirting it down your throat... This is milk...

    Jo R. This is so typical.... I did exactly the same....except for me it was some tortilla chips with CC. Honestly (and this aplies to everyone) the best thing you can do is just eat fresh food you prepare from scratch... The chance of accidental glutening drops to nearly nil... you eat healthy by design and by not getting accidentally glutened and...

    While I don't disagree about the "health ranger" comments and the fact the guy is proably in it for himself... I think its worth considering the FDA is also in it for the companies pay backhanders via lobbyists.... That is some of the claims are far fetched (like regualting rocks or fingers) but whereever there is a profit to be made ludicrous stuff is...

    I have a simple rule about which companies I trust... Any legal Dijon mustard is gluten-free by definition.... it must be made in the appelation and with certain ingredients... If a company decides to lie about its products or ignore international law then I don't trust that company. So if it says made in France then it MUST legally be gluten-free.....

    I don't know if anything will really speed it up but peppermint tea does make you FEEL better... Equally ... though the best thing you can do is cut out/down on irritants.... like coffee, alcohol etc. Also when the villi are damaged we don't make lactase so lactose intolerance is also a problem... I also stick away from Soy... (not completely just...

    I was born in the UK, does that count? Haven't lived there except a brief 2 yr spell for going on 20 yrs though...spent most of my 20's in Africa and the middle and far east... Spent 6 months in rethymnon and xhania when I was 18... and 6 months in Calgary (and they like to think they are the most American city in Canada)

    whattodo: Like Nikki say's its difficult to get any treatment or scans for anything peripheral without the positive biopsy...Personally I think the biopsy is completely stupid (since you basically have to deliberatly damage yourself to get a positive result (what happened to do no harm?)... The thing is its hard but not impossible to get treatment, it depends...

    Wow, I really wish I'd done that ... oil was about the last thing on my mind when I started my undergrad degree... Its just so easy to get sucked in and then not escape...(I only intended to stick with it long enough to pay off my loans and get a little reserve) ... reminds me of hotel california (you can check out any time you like...)

    I already know my great grandfather was Jewish but not which branch genetically. So far as the family know anyway... Its not like people have to even convert since its done for them... especially because of the maternal requirement...so I doubt its anywhere as uncommon than we think... I do think its fun though....

    Thats because its not a real email, its just a lie... to make you click it. then presumably you are using IE on windows... <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript"> <!-- // Check the browser...we're looking for ie/win var isIE = (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) ? true : false; // true if we're on ie var...

    If anyone has trouble accessing the site (i.e. your not using Windows and Internet Explorer) the site is meant for Windows users only... but so long as you actuyally do have flashplayer installed it will work if you go DIRECTLY to Open Original Shared Link quite why people bother writing websites that only allow internet explorer and windows is beyond...

    Good luck but here's to betting its nowhere near as good as you remember it However.... I gotta say if your having a craving that's a far more sensible cure than risking CC !!!

    I honestly can't say for definate.... look at it this way.... How much do you have to burn a marinade sauce before it stops tasting like marinade...? Certainly the meat's pretty much cardboard and the marinade is still recognisable.... and when Ive been cleaning the grill's quite often when you start giving it a good scrape the hard black ball turns...

    Hey... can you point any links ..... I never bothered with genetic testing since it seemed superfluous (having positive blood tests).... however I always feel the neuro-symptoms hit me harder than the GI ones... (I do get GI .. I just don't seem so bad as some here)... This really is interesting, it might be worth me getting the gene test afterall...

    I was going to say similar really.... I tend to find that even for me (adult) replacing old food with new food on a piece by piece basis is lousy... Sorry but no gluten-free pizza crust is ever as good as a real one made by hand and cooked over wood ... even though they can be very good... if you think about this is replacing that its easy to be dissapointed...

    Technically correct.... I wouldn't want to risk a propane grill though... but yep if you make stuff HOT enough ...you can break it down to the individual atoms... (that's how a mass spec works)... but its VERY VERY hot... i.e. superheated plasma... As a simple way to view it a wood fire gets pretty damned hot... but pickk through the embers after and stuff...

    Basically any test has always got a bias.... It will lean over to false negative or false positive... because of the way tests are designed... If you cross the road and look both ways its a test... but it doesn't mean you didn't miss something... however mostly (unless you are hallucinating) if you see a big bus it means there is a big bus.... Hence...

    The thing is its not a presence or absence the tests measure... but whether its above "normal" or not... Its not impossible to test +ve after longer... but it just means the chance of the test actually being positive decreases.... Its one of those things that IMHO if your going to do it at least do it right and give the tests the best possible chance...

    Its nowhere near so hard.... seriously Food wouldn't be hard if we could use the same food everyday.... but obviously we'd get bored outa our heads and probably nutritionally miss out... It might seem a big deal but its not the same, using the same shampoo or soap isn't like eating the same thing everyday... The hardest thing is using "other peoples...
  21. gfp
    Exactly... The thing I find is it really helps to be able to visualise what your talking about...( even if that visualisation isn't 100% technically correct which isn't the case here) if you can think of it in the right terms like that you can start thinking about how to control the stuff... Perhaps a silly example but lets take the imaginary Scot...

    Its not really that the information isn't released but that its not put into an easily digestible (forgive the pun) format. Arsenic isn't THAT poisionous .. which isn't to say its a good thing to have in food but since corinne mentioned mercury .. mercury is actually the only natural element NOT used by the human body.. Everything else we need in some...

    Could be it inteferes with your bodies ability to use it? Like you say though it seems improbable its deficiency overnight???? (just a wild guess) If someone has a LOT of time there are some really good articles here.. Open Original Shared Link

    Good tip You can also in Firefox set the minimum font size it will go down to...globally... which is useful if you do have problems on small type on more than one site...(preferences/conteny/advanced tab on font)... Its been in Firefox a long time and IE usually copies firefox so I'd expect its there too and Safari definately has it if your on a Mac. ...
  25. gfp
    That's what I would have said... The peanut analogy is probably the easiest way to look at it. Its not alive ... so if you think about trying to "kill" it its on the wrong track.. Like NancyM said Yep, however I wouldn't say its impossible to make something "safe" that is more effective at cleaning/washing it away or even breaks it down but exactly...
