    Yep My Girlfriend makes a GREAT carrot cake .... and also banana and sunflower seed cookies... both have less flour than normal "cake" and taste indistinguishable... except perhaps a little lighter?

    To be honest anything naturally gluten-free is always better/cheaper? If the salad is an accompanyment or just starter ... starters/finger food wise... chicken wings or ribs?? take/make your own gluten-free sauces?? mexican salad? with chicken (or turkey) cheese and tortillas? I'd say it depends what people consider "normal food"... I like say...

    I read that the liquid might not be.... darlindeb25 posted one brand that definately is.... so my opinion is why take the risk... ?? Most of the generic brands proably are and must state it anyway if they do.. or say might contain... There are 101 brands of loperamide hydrochoride available and many are gluten-free... Whereby it might be slightly...

    I find it tends to vary.... Sometimes a small amount and the GI symptoms are minor but brain fog isn't... then other times if I drop some immoium early I can get less brain fog and who knows... I also find that for instance a long gradual glutening (such as eating a CC'd item for a week or drinking vodka) are different.. The slow but long term very...

    I was a pretty lax vegetarian for a couple of years.... my girlfriend was so I only ate meat viviting parents etc. I had a friend that was vegetarian strictly for 7.... I think if you think its disgusting its going to sit badly... regardless... As an example I always haten fish, especially fishy-fish (if that makes any sense) but after diagnosis I ended...

    Just out of interest.. but will the results be shared? Will they be taking DNA samples for testing too? Not that it would stop me but I would be interested, given the location to see if the results will end up in the mormon genetic database? Indeed, it might actually be a good thing since they seem to have the time, dedication and will to maintain...

    The time needed to consume gluten prior to blood or biopsy seems variable but definately a matter of weeks.... The accuracy of both in terms of false negatives increases ... the longer you are on the gluten challenge. IN your case it really depends how much/often you cheated ... but even that is very subjective.. even if you had a food diary for the last...

    ARCHIVED Dedicated Fryers

    gfp replied to larry mac's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Im not sure it removes odours and tastes so much as removes the little bits of food that impart the odour and taste...and yes that does negate the dedicated fryer.. and I can't see a paper filter removiung gluten effectively at all. The funny thing is just how so many people want it to be OK to eat at McDO.... but not really... grantschoep sums it up...

    I'd agree if she wasn't 7 1/2 weeks through 8.... 20/20 hindsight is great @terrymarie: Regardless of the biopsy INSIST on a full celiac blood panel... I see no reason to continue... honestly if you'd asked 7 weeks ago I would have said get blood tests... stop as soon as they are +ve... Make sure you get them now though.... if the biopsy...

    Exactly, if they change the name to modifed food starch Open Original Shared Link Is a completely different regulation... good luck finding that one though.... seems only the scanned paper copy is available? Open Original Shared Link A quick scan reveals nothing about gluten or gluten containing ingredients... I didn't read each page... ...

    Many ketchups contain "modified starch"... Compliance Policy Guides, Chapter 5-Foods, Sub Chapter 578, Processed Grains, Section 578.100. starch must be from corn unless stated, modified starch can be from anything...

    Actually in the case of spirit vinegar its not the vinegar that's distilled... They don't take the vinegar itself and distill it but they use distilled ethyl alcohol to make it... That is "pure distilled vinegar" isn't made from taking vinegar and water and impurities to make in stronger but uses industrial alcohol as the starting point to be made into...

    Craig, sorry hard question I can't answer but others can... just bumped this for you so hopefully they'll see it when different timezones wake up ...

    Yep and in the end they still have to take pharmacuticals from somewhere... and the drug companies are pretty much all i the same league. For the good of their patients they still have to deal with the drug rep's and get the literature

    Tim, I follow.. I wasn't one of the ones "condeming" was i? What would be really useful is someone doing proper blood monitoring AND going 100% gluten-free... Nothing is certain with celiac disease... that's for sure but I'd actually tihnk if the antibodies are not there then that's really the best measure of something to measure. I think some...

    Its worth just repeating this... your AgA anti-bodies are transmitted in your milk...

    Yes and No.... unless you have a contract say's otherwise your boss can fire you anytime and doesn't need a reason. If he chooses to give a reason as your having celiac disease then you can contest that...since then it is due to a disability. The fact he is giving you warning would seem to indicate he doesn't want to fire you.. Please try...

    Tim its possible if you don't eat out. It is just VERY restrictive... Most of my diet is cooked from scratch from fresh ... in any case and alsways has been with the exception of food I buy outside. Its not that I am saying its wrong... I am just saying that I went down a gluten-free path that others are taking and I got to the end already, found...

    Outstanding at it does prove that they do actually listen

    But that aside... you say "nearly normal"... and equally that you don't know if that contains non-edible products with gluten or not. However as has been said on the rest of this thread by several people the problem is your opinion doesn't actually mean anything in this context. In the same way that Tim's or the Dr's doesn't because until you actually go...

    Hi Jess.... How long have you been gluten-free? (and how long strictly) Its totally possible with your age and the extra stress on the body that the villi are not repairing well? If this is the case then perhaps more easily digestable foods and more frequent foods.. (and no dairy) might really help... Something like the Sumo diet... which...

    What do you base that on the fact that 64 years ago the doctors guessed a diagnosis? This is prior to any blood tests (and prior to a ability to biopsy of the intestine... if I remember correctly)... However if she's been eating for the last 56 years and her doctors have run a recent full celiac panel and she has no symtoms but a rash then it seems at...
