    I dunno except he could be me when I've been glutened.... Walter .. this sounds so far away right now! IT GETS BETTER.... DO NOT MAKE ANY IMPORTANT LIFE DECISIONS WHEN GLUTENED! Realising its a reaction and you will get better very soon is perhaps the most helpful thing I can say... Take some immodium tablets (not liquid which apparently contains...

    I'd pretty much say the two are about equal..... They are both probably good to give up.... but also its not like gluten in that cutting down is also useful.. at least until you actually provoke a full blown intolerance.... My personal opinion... is since so many celiuacs do develop intolerances to them both... I take them in extreme moderation...soy...

    Adina, the biggest source of gluten-free everything is simply fresh food (with the obvious exception of gluten) .. in general don't get too caught up in the marketing side... (my mom did that) .. some stuff might seem convenient .. I find it less so because you limit yourself to certain brands and items... its also a bit dangerous in that you then start using...

    ARCHIVED Vegiac

    gfp replied to Suzanne M.'s topic in Publications & Publicity

    Its really worth noting that and other deficiencies because being a vegiac and celiac they will compound and what was marginally OK can easily drop below... and as usual ... (my tired old warning) lots of celaics develop otrher intolerances... especially dairy and soy... so whereby I wouldn't say avoid them like gluten I think its at least sensible to try...

    I know I go on about this but the answers are all in this thread already.... you just have to put them together... Firstly The fact you never got sick doesn't mean anything unless you really drank a statistically valid sample... Take the first batch high chance of CC and the last batch very low... I don't know what a production run is for them hence...

    ARCHIVED Depression

    gfp replied to sleepy1's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Thanks for saying that... I was going to post a similar warning..... and like many have said if you can actually find you can cure it by going gluten-free (or at least manage it much better) it might be better than using psychotropics....

    Sorry, your relatively new and I don't know you so well.... but I did want to say something here.... Are you actually celiac yourself? I ask because the mood swings with gluten are really really hard to control... even for adults... The thing is I know when I get glutened I actually end up saying/doing things I know I shouldn't.... but its almost like...

    Yeah I know, it just seems to have missed the walk before you can run phase? I think a lot of the places I tried had just thought hey, if it gets some extra customers we'll do it but hadn't actually looked into the CC issues? Some places it seemed to be like yeah we do vegetarian, atkins..... etc. etc. and and gluten free like its actually a choice...

    Sometimes I actually hate to be correct....! Its just entertainment... people tune in for sensationalism.... I don't think Quenn O is bad... she's just dfoing her job which is entertainment.... and in some ways she does actually help.... but only when it fits the sensationalism and promotes her... but that is what entertainment is all about... I always...

    Can I stick my oar in? I'm not Australian but I have been a celiac in Oz and I really agree with your last question.... I actually found the whole acceptance thing started off good and then I realised in many cases (not all) it just wasn't taken seriously... The problem was if you live somewhere you get to know the good and not so good.... lots of places...

    Forgetting we have a special dislike for wheat.... Erm, Jurassic Park.....anyone. It doesn't take a Nobel Prize winner to realise that this devastating "natural phenomena" isn't natural... If wheat (or its forrunners) were meant to be gorwing in that area they would have done so naturally and without having to modify it... and a million years of natural...

    LOL.... exactly what I do but..... On the original question.... This is so classic... indeed perfectly normal but you are doing everything to make your condition worse.... keep reading and let me explain. All other problems aside its natural to think that if we don't get enough sleep we should sleep longer to catch up.... its what our...
  13. gfp
    Nope ... and its not like I don't damage myself.... I just don't bruise.... It might sound ideal.... honestly its not.... think of being an asymptomatic celiac... Its highly subjective I know but I also seem to have a high pain threshold... I can literally break stuff and find its sore but not excrutiating... and when you put this together its actually...

    tarnalberry.... That was my thought..... This one is REALLY tricky..... I'm going to give my take but that doesn't mean I'm condoning it and anyone who knows what my mom did when I visited will know I mean that. The fundamental problem here is that sometimes those closest to us actually think they are protecting us from ourseleves. I think we all...

    Sounds yummy... and with the recent posts of a few moms with young kids who are fussy ideal for something to make with the kids... Mmm... sounds like you could even scoop it right out of the mixing bowl....

    As I remember the unleavened bread part is only a fairly modern part... (Orthodox Chrisitans I think use leavened normal bread) and I don't think anywhere it matters since its meaning is symbolic* so you can always just take a small cut square or circle (using the baking cutters) of plain rice bread... * I don't want to argue about this and I doubt Karen...

    LOL... no offense.... but Oprah will do what makes for viewing figures....fits neatly into a show.... etc. and has the right components to make her look good... So the problem really is her Dr's probably have no idea about celiac disease.... (above and beyond what our MD's do).... We can probably see 101 reasons it actually would make a good show...

    LOL ...Ok found it ....hope you weren't offended when I said they don't need to be gourmet

    If he's in the same kitchen he is having some... its pretty much impossible to bake from scratch and him not breath it in....if he's in the same room.... BUT..... Yes you can there are 101 great gluten free recipee's out there.... including lemon cake..... I can get that.... specific gluten free stuff can be pretty expensive and...
  21. gfp
    The fact your here asking questions and thinking about the issues is one heck of a good start! But I think you can drive yourself mad ... its easy enough for me to do that to myself.....the whole delay thing and repercussions ... I'd swear you start then looking in the most improbably places... I went through different toothpastes (must be that) and who...

    Overall I think if you share a kitchen he will get contaminated.... but his attitude is not unusual at all, indeed it used to be mine. Hash browns and fries ... its one of those things where cross contamination is really easy.... One thing I can say from my own experience as someone who started off like your hubby is I wish I had taken it seriously...
  23. gfp
    Pretty hard to say really...perhaps a bit of both... That makes it pretty hard for you to know... By definition you like every other adult mammal are lactose intolerant... the real questions are how much? and is it preventing you healing? (IMHO) I personally didn't BUT it took me forever to get better.... the general experience here seems to be its...
  24. gfp
    Erm, yeah I keep getting them pitched down the right hand side of my screen..? HawkFire.... I think the problem really is that of human nature....and different ideas. I know lots of really nice Americans but many of them disagree strongly with taxing people at all, let alone spending that money on public health (or education) because they feel perhaps...
  25. gfp
    VydorScope..... I really agree... but its like you said on the other thread.... people want to believe they are gluten-free.... Its obviously a tiny amount of gluten and I would worry more about CC..... but saying they are gluten-free isn't really helpful or accurate for people being able to determine their own risks .... Indeed it actually detracts...
