    Sorry no.... They are just different types of antibody google : Immunoglobulin isotypes

    Actually even that is starting to change.... Open Original Shared Link I saw a major clinic (not mayo but another big one a few weeks ago, can't find it right now) but they actually stated that biopsy was not a good standard for diagnosis. ( It appeared in my google news filter for celiac....) I once remember a dentist telling me that toothache is...

    Your first question already gives the the answer Your MD is fixating on one test.... You can still be be celiac and have NO damage or nothing that "looks like celiac" In the end its just semantics.... defintion from one book or a different one... it looks like the book he has says one thing! Hardly surprising if they know near nothing...

    I have to disagree with this in the strongest possible way.... A biopsy is practically useless for diagnossing celiac, which doesn't mean they don;t have a use but as a diagnositc tool they are worse than useless. I'm not using worse than useless as a metaphone I mean it quite literally.... Firstly the biopsy only measures the current amount of damage...

    Medical opinion varies.... Your daughter would be classed as celiac in Italy... Negative IgA is meaninglless without TgA... and meaningless in young children anyway... Negative biopsy is pretty meaningless all the time... Non of these being negative rules out celiac but it only really depends on the defintion you use for celiac. Its just semantics...

    The risks of bowel cancer or any cancer are largely dependent on genetics anyway.... As with something like tobacco .. some people smoke 60 a day for 90 years without ever developing lung cancer... others smoke 10 a day for 5 years and do... and others don't smoke and get it anyway.... If this were the only risk.... its one many might choose to ignore...

    Originally the UK.... My point was really that there is a difference between being attacked and going abroad to perform what are termed police actions.... I doubt me saying it will change anything but I personally would have different feelings about joining a militia who's purpose is defensive and joining a standing army who's purpose at best can be described...

    ARCHIVED Dedicated Fryers

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

    I tend to agree with sweetfudge....(on stuff lfoating about) I guess it really depends.... the difference between a non-franchised BBQ resto and McDo's as well.... As the resto owner he makes decisions to change the oils.... but with McDo I think everything is formula... Oil goes in and each frying is logged... (its all electronic they press the botton...

    Regular mayo is raw egg, oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt and an emulsifier like mustard optional.... anything else is something close to mayo with additives....

    Glad you didn't take it the wrong way.... With all due respect and taking your constitution + bill of rights .. the purpose of a military is to defend the country from a clear and present danger. To some extent this differentiates the national guard and state militias from a "professional" army who might be required to help others out or perform police...

    Just to add.... you can't be 100% safe.... even in hospital he could get glutened because very few hospital kitchens really can guarantee gluten-free.... Its pretty sad but that's just the way it is.... Funny thing is they can keep someone in a sterile room, free of bacteria ... free of dust etc. etc. but not feeding them gluten seems too challenging...
  12. gfp
    Erm ... good question.... I'm really not sure what people expect? If you eat out (and I do) then regardless of the care a resto takes accidents are going to happen. Yep and you can also put a paper bag over your head and cross the highway.... and nothing happens but it doesn't mean its 100% safe. Sorry being sarcastic but that is the problem with...

    This really illustrates what I'm trying to say, even though you missed it.... Because your wife was so sick and because you care for her so much you bullied and corerced her into the diet. In the end getting her to do something she didn't want to do....because you wanted her to be better... In the end you managed t convince her to try the diet... ...

    Walter a big thing works for me is the sub-lingual immodium.... One thing to explain (facts are normal, I'll make clear when its my interpretation and beliefs) gluten is classed as a exorphin which means it binds to the bodies endorphin receptors endorphin controls mood gluten damages the endorphin receptors immodium binds to the endorphin receptors...

    ARCHIVED Cheating

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

    I agree completely.... And in the end the worst type of cheating IMHO is that against yourself....
  16. gfp
    The only way you will find out is following the diet..... We all started out that way.... and that includes some of the very very knowledgeable people who will answer your post.... Before I go on.... what I have to say is that there is no such thing as 100% risk free (if you don't own your own farm...) Its simply not possible.... so everyone...

    ARCHIVED Cheating

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

    Making it sound nicer really isn't going to help at all. Last night on the way back from the station some guy tried to get onto the metro for free by pushing up on some girl going through the turnstyle.... She got all upset (well when his **** is touching her ass I'm not that surprised) ... but apart from that do you want someone who is self evidently...

    Yep but it doesn't stop them publishing an analysis just like on the side of mineral waters or making a statement about dedicated lines. To be fair with them its quite possible they are actually converting production lines or even building new ones and they are possibly in some interim position...which is perhaps why they are being a little coy with hard...

    Fever is normal for any baterial or viral infection... which is exactly what the body thinks it has.... Its our inhereted first line defense that in humans is about as useful as an appendix... since most mammals have higher temps normally than we can survive when we have a fever...
  20. gfp
    Yep that's what I tried to say earlier.... As soon as you buy anything that is labelled gluten-free it comes with a price premium... I buy 90% of everything jkust form a supermarket or the local fresh produce... it costs exactly the same being gluten-free or not... for me. with the slight exceptions of gluten-free pasta very occaisionally.
  21. gfp
    Its not really the same thing though.... you choose vegetarianism.... and you presumably don't want to eat meat.... that's perfectly fine so long as you don't keep going round all your friends/relatives/XX saying wow... I really miss XX or wow , my health has really deteriorated since.... XX etc. etc. Anyway.. this isn't lots of standalone parts... I...

    Forget the reactions, unless either the people who posted the information they were told are lying or the people giving it to them ... I really can't see the first one, the second one.... well it doesn't matter in a way.... since we can't do anything about it... by which I mean if Redbridge are not telling the truth ... then they are not telling the...
  23. gfp
    I don't disagree.... but its a very fuzzy area.... I'm sure my mom lied about not hiding mashed of vegetables when I was a kid for instance... There is of course a world of difference between slipping someone some mashed and hidden greens and giving an adult celaic gluten but I think we the sufferers see that gap a lot wider? As many of us know...
  24. gfp
    That would be my guess.... Lots of gluten-free bread can be a little hard to digest by itself... add a very fatty item like cheese and the fact our dogestive systems aren't 100% and...
  25. gfp
    Hmm. just some clarifications .... I' m not against RAW milk, especially not sheep or goats (or good quality dairy) but AFAIK cow milk hasn't been consumed for that long and certainly not as a primary milk source (perhaps you mean that and Im misreading but then still worth clarifying) If you think about it just take any biblical or torah text.... calves...
