    I suspect your correct The stupid thing is that grocery stores do this and then wonder why noone buys it! The end result of course is they don't sell it and decide to stop stocking it.... Good luck.... You might mention the fact that there is no point stocking it for the majority of the people that are going to buy it... if they leave it...

    I think that sums it up pretty well. A lot of things that in the US are derived from corn are derived from wheat in Europe... The amount of gluten is speculative anyway... but I know I react to things in Europe labelled with dextrines and maltodextrine for instance which is safe if made in the US. That depends on the policy...and its exact wording...

    I understand why it is annoying and you just have to put it down to people not understanding. The problem is we need to actually make our condition known because of the social side of work... well you don't have to but it looks funny when you refuse the free meals or drinks etc. As to his business? That's a toughy.. I can't speak for you but eating gluten...

    Wow, That's definately as tough one... I'd have thought bringing one in Fresh is going to be really hard unless ypou did have any guests arriving the same day ? Perhaps you could actually try some of the catering companies ? If your thinking of a buffet as well being gluten-free then you might be able to get them to find a pastry chef that would do one...

    Its just a part of the software that Scott uses to power this board... I guess it just comes that way...

    I think people do tend to obscess over cancer.... when many of the other complications kill you just as surely and others take away most of the pleasure of life.. On the other hand I think a bit of whatever works for you is OK so long as people don't just look at the big C and dismiss it and not realise they are far more likely to have other complications...

    Tim, this all sounds logical... I'm not faulting the logic... The problem is you have never actually been 100% gluten-free and that "tell" is highly subjective and personal but it really happens. Its not something you can explain to someone who hasn't experienced it...because words just don't describe it. I started off with your attitude, indeed...

    If you ever look into real soy sauces its incredible.... There are well over 100 major kinds of soy sauce and thousands of sub-types... Which is to say I gues that one soy sauce isn't likely to work for evertything... Read more here but be warned... its long Open Original Shared Link

    Just off the top of my head from instinct ... I don't see any problems why though I can't imagine soy flour would do them much good.

    ARCHIVED Rip Off

    gfp replied to Jo.R's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    I think that summarises the differences... If you have public healthcare then the state has to consider the costs of treating you for complications. However its not perfect since the complications of many things are longer term than the presently elected govt. setting the budgets. In some ways a private insurance should be more interested but the flaw...

    Well other than the fact many people do react topically as ursa mentioned there is ingesting and accidentally ingesting. Its practically impossible IMHO to wash your hair "normally" and not ingest "some" shampoo. Sire if you make a special effort and keep your lips firmly closed (not that easy under a shower) and don't breath any up your nose ... but...

    ARCHIVED Rip Off

    gfp replied to Jo.R's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    Erm... I was thinking along the same lines, just in a different way.... I was sorta thinking I'm slamming Italy's ER for a 6-7 hour wait on something non critical but at least it was free... I do have to say though last time I was in AB healthcare it was with a friend and a genuine emergency and until I released the heavy bandaging put on by the medics...

    ARCHIVED Travel To Italy

    gfp replied to Carm's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    LOL... very briefly but that video is well worth watching anyway... Italy is probably the best place...I have been to and I travel a lot.. You can get gluten-free foods in pharmacies but last year they had adverts for a new a chain of gluten-free supermarkets ... Diagnosis rate is 1:200 so awareness is very high... almost any resto is going to know...

    ARCHIVED Rip Off

    gfp replied to Jo.R's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff

    Nope your probably right .. best not to mess with the head and have her checked for concussion or other damage... Reminds me of my brother when we were kids... when he hit his head sledging into a wall ... The scalp also had a lot pf potentail for bleeding A LOT.... On the whole ER is a rip off but then so is paying someone to remove the oil from...

    For me I generally wouldn't risk it but if its an option of eating something or not then I probably would... Anything on shared lines is pot luck in a way but if you only try that luck when you need to the risk is minimsed...

    If it doesn't hurt that much constantly its unlikey to be dislocated..... dislocated joints REALLY hurt... fractures don't though... but anything around a knee or elbow always has pontential for pain.... If it hurts to straighten it don't for now... if its inflamed all sorts of things can be pressing on nerves and anything increasing the inflamation...

    I'm going to get slammed for this.... I'm not telling anyone to do this themselves but even though ER is free in the UK and France I just do my own stitches when I need them so long as they are a single layer.... In more complex situations you can need more than one layer of stiches so that some are internal and some external... If this is the case...

    This is IMHO not that simple.... The blood tests were -ve... but they are unreliable in toddlers anyway... A biopsy is likely to be -ve as well... At least the blood tests are pretty minor... and hence can be repeated... whereas what would you do if you also have a -ve biopsy knowing they are unreliable and esp in toddlers. I honestly think far too...

    jodi, Sorry about the tone ... I did write it in strong tones (so far as you express tone on the internet)... However that wasn't really directed at you, rather anyone else reading it .... You Already have your biopsy so it won't make any difference to you and what I was saying is the biopsy is not a good metric for diagnosis... I did say it had other...

    Its funny, regional variations... Liverpool would be a definate place to queue though strictly speaking it shouldn't..say gluten free.. (yes I realise how stupid it sounds)... Open Original Shared Link ..... If this sounds stupid or misleading I completely agree...

    It is really very good advice.... Perhaps you shouldn't have to but..all the same it will help you... on the whole the English love Americans anyway.... On this topic of things people usually find annoying or don't realise.... (having lots of American friends who give me feedback or just palin say "what did I do/say") I do remember someone writing...

    Erm wow.... it took me a page to say that! (which is my way of saying an excellent summary) If they were 4 and 7, I might say something different... since blood tests are really notoriously inaccurate in really young kids... However a 14 and 17 I say the complete oppostite because of a few factors.... The symptoms of celiac do tend to be masked...

    Hey I can't offer make up advice.... I'm a guy and we have different products here anyway... What I can say is there are lots of products that are safe and honestly if that's your biggest hurdle your doing really well. It does take time to get used to stuff and find new products but you do find new stuff and mostly its going to be as good or ...

    Guhlia... I'm exactly the same.... I do have a theory as to why.... its just my theory but anyone else is encouraged to add their 2c .... Last time I mentioned this someone decided to tell me what I can and cannot do with MY body and told me what I should and should not say regarding things which were true.... erm the result of which I ended up getting...
