    As I posted on dally099's other thread..... even the published product sheet from McDo's actually says in black and white that they contain detectable "proteins from wheat" ... Of course the paper starts with a negative test and only passignly mentions the positive more accurate one... but people will read into that what they want to read into it.... ...

    I would say its completely normal... but then I'm not really in a position to judge....normal perhaps However as a kid I hated any meat with fat or anything chewy in it.... so my mom would cut meat up smaller etc. then I started thinking of slices of onion as like fat she was disguising and even celery.... I'd hardly eat any vegetables except potatoes...

    Karen, if its yours and your priests opinion it doesn't matter then I'd say just make a very simple flatbread of just rice flour and water... its only a taste so its not like you need something gourmet.....just something you can bake into a decent roundish shape... You could also just use plain cornmeal as well.... like making a tortilla though obviously...

    Ive skipped through a few.... but what I'd say is its like everything else.... don't take everything to be "gospel" even if its the gluten-free bible ... knowledge about celiac disease get better and labelling gets better etc. When I was at uni I was taught that textbooks are on the whole useless for actually understanding any scientific subject...

    People keep saying this regardless to the oil testing positive to gluten. If you read the actual testing report McDo's actually publish it says, buried into the middle somewhere that after they tested negative on an EILSA test the RAST test was positive for gluten. Open Original Shared Link QUOTE("Cynthia Kupper @ RD, celiac disease Executive...

    Just joking really cos I think we all agree on the important parts.... but for an adult eating gluten there is a 98%+ correlation for a positive suite and biopsy.... and the last 2% has lots of explanations including mixing up at the lab... To me the +ve serology is definitive because without the antibodies nothing is going to happen...leastwise as a...
  7. gfp
    I'll throw in my 2c and agree and disagree with everyone ... Like the last two I completely agree on the biopsy.... and as vydorscope says this REALLY casts a lot of doubts on the compenence of your MD to only have 2 samples.... even 5 or 10 aren't going to guarantee it but 2.??? after the hassle and appointment etc. it seems a complete waste to get...

    Its not as much hassle as it sounds.... but its equally not something to do every week....or you'll soon have no pan left... If you are the sorta person has that stuff lying about anyway

    That's what the thread was on.....? I guess i forgot Ho hum off to take the clothes out of the fridge and hang the dishes out to dry .... and in case your wondering ... nothing illegal just gluten!!!!

    LOL .... made me laugh anyway

    Im not sure its really different.... If I ate a pound of peas I'd be in agony and 1/2 pound of peanuts would be like a lead weight... Im not sure I remember how many carrots it takes to kill you either but again you'd have to be pretty commited to killing yourself that way... Like lots of stuff to much of a good thing is usually toxic.... be it Vitamin...

    Yeah i think its just one of those mildly irritating things that usually a little bit of does no harm.... Your not mean to eat raw potatoes either.... but I often munch a couple of raw fries ... and it doesn't seem to affect me....

    Sarah.... I wish I could give you a simple answer..... I just got glutened 2 nights ago.... first night I was weird but mainly only depressed, confused and hot/cold sweats... Then last night .... I felt like just crying on the toilet floor between stuff coming out of one end then the other... and I rarely vomit from gluten... felt like crap all day until...
  14. gfp
    Yeah the only thing about dairy is whether its casein or lactose.... At 6 she is somewhere on the border between tolerating milk and not.... Indeed you made me think of something compleltely new.... and me being glutened at the moment that's no mean feat... It makes me wonder if the onset of celiac disease in 5-10 year olds might be partly caused by...

    Hey I actually found this.... Open Original Shared Link Being a European that lived in North African and the middle east... I presumed that was the only definition BUT according to wikipedia... Either way though quinoa seems a really good alternative.... as you'd guess from my above statement i have considerable experience with 1001...

    Hey.... I'm really glad you took it like that and its made you feel better about yourself.... Honestly, I think Carla is spot on... I just didn't say it quite the same cos... well perhaps its better from another girl ? or I thought it might take a couple of steps to get there... Yep, the book definately has some good stuff.... I don't actually...

    I'd cover my bases..... Got one of these once in my last job .... any dietry needs etc. so sent the organiser everything they needed ... then the actual day before we are leaving me and about 4 others get an email basically saying when you get there its up to you to talk to the catering manager.... not even the name of the manager??? To add insult...

    even saying made from is a stretch.... it is wheat.... However back on the original subject I find it makes an excellent subsitute for couscous.... both in cooking hot and salads where you usually use cous-cous... Funny thing is people either find it bland by itself or horrid..... its one of those weird foods ??
  19. gfp
    How about taking Grays anatomy and a bottle of vicoden while watching house ????
  20. gfp
    Yep she's spot on..... The ONLY difference it can make (as someone who is divorced) is you can learn what went wrong and apply it to the new guy... However I can support what Carla is saying.... because basically if I had accepted what I now accept in my marriage then I'd probably be in Carla's position right now.... As it happens I'm very happy with my...

    Actually there is no proof they can..... or at least the proof they can is about the same as the proof that smoking cigarettes doesn't cause cancer.... The 20ppm figure was one that was agreed on by the food industry... basically because its cheap to screen food at that level.. The industry then paid for tests specifically looking to prove this.....
  22. gfp
    Wow..... I'm certainly no subsitute for the real thing but I can at least give some feedback.... Lets leave the marriage out of it for now.... Yep life can suck.... Like someone once told me (even though I'm not religious at all it makes for a funny line) How do you make God laugh? Tell him your plans for your life..... Life really is so random...

    Hey welcome I honestly don't think cutting down will help at all. If she has celiac disease she has celiac disease... and unless you are gluten-free your body still produces antibodies... at 6 she's a bit marginal for the tests to be accurate... and also it depends which blood tests etc. The only advantage I can see to starting to restrict her...

    Some little known facts about coffee.... The cheapest coffee has far more caffine in it because it uses robusta beans which naturally have more caffine.... So the first move is go for something 100% arabica. Second.. the more water you run through coffee the more caffine gets taken out... so even though you'd think that filter coffee would be better...
  25. gfp
    Yep this is really true... The friends sister I talked about was diagnosed as a child and back then celiac disease was considered a "childhood illness" .... ppatin: Your really a great person... and I completely understand why you'd find it hard to say something.... seriously I have old friends who still think I can sip a beer... its one of the weirdest...
