    Lots of good posts already.... I'll just add "one step/day at a time" as a direct answer to the question.... What seems overwhelming gradually becomes second nature.... one day you just look back and think how hard it all seemed and how you hardly need to think about it now.... If you drive, think back to the first time you got in a car... specially...

    While I agree wholeheartedly .... this is definately one case of Sophies choice! Most of the prescription psychotropics are not particualrly safe either... or that well understood.... Doctors tend to hand them out like candy until a specific one gets banned or more heavily regulated... Its my opinion as a layman but also the opinion of a friend of mine...

    Congrats on the weight loss but .... at some point you are goig to have to eat real food again??? or are you going to eat the stuff for life? These things can be a great boost... no question but they are not a magic formula... If you eat sensibly you should maintain your weight and even loose more.... If you lost 60lbs your over the hurdles and...

    Hey, Im on the other side of the fence.... but I think its normal.... IMHO you should stand by it and if you want a toast find a cafe.... A different viewpoint, imagine you both quit smoking.... you're craving a cig... would it be fair to buy a packet and not say? Your support and going along probably is a great boost for your wife.... so why do it...

    OK, sometimes sarcasm excplains stuff best for me.... its nothing personal... and the poster could be anyone so don't be offended..Im trying to write this like a FDA official saying why Erm, what exactly do you want to analyse for? If you pay we'll find someone to analyse. Sure if you wanna pay.... however at the moment what exactly...

    Good find p.s, the jury seems to be out on cancer and stuff but so long as you are inside the safe area no harm.... The thing I'm trying to stress is this really needs to be checked for pretty much all your trace elements... some of them can be more toxic than others... but their distribution is extremely patchy.... especially iun the US.... The weird...

    I wish there was a simple answer.... Kraft are a perfect example. They say they won't deliberatly hide gluten but they also lied about the effects of tobacco for 50 yrs... since they are the same company... so its like ringing a tobacco copany and asking for advice? The point is now adays the tobacco companies (hence Kraft, Nabisco and most of the major...

    Its a metal..(technically semi metal like carbon and sulfur). (if that answers your question) Salts can have a smell but if you can smell them you'd be already dead! So realitically its not useful.... Its present in very small quantities.... and its also needed ion very small quantities... Your USGS office is really the best place to ask about...

    If its baking then add the Xanthan gum bit for sauces etc. no need... A simple rule, if it needs to rise use Xanthan gum but if not don't.... Weird thing best pizza crusts I had (In Italy) were made just using striaght gluten-free flour, salt and water... no yeast no additives... they are kinda thin so you need to choose toppings accordingly.. and the...

    Nice one! The thread title sounded a bit funny like your glad your brother has it but I see what you mean now

    hundreds Where to start.... How about making the meatballs as normal but add some sage ... You can make turkey kebabs.... add some real fine chopped onion, paprika, cumin and cilantro... then grill them on a griddle You can make a bolgnaise and just switch turkey in.... And just about any mexican dish .... how about some taco's... and guacamole.....

    It could be any or all.... My advice is give reintroducing a break until you feel better... you soon will.... then you can be more objective and retry.... If you only made one mistake then your doing way better than I did when I first went gluten-free!!!!!! Take it easy, spoil youself... buy some nice stuff like essential oils and ask hubby for a massage...

    I'm betting you just passed so much D it messed your insides up (like abrasion) but you should definately have it checked out... I doubt your big worry is it... but it always pays to be safe! (Im no MD but the vomiting etc doesn't fit...) that said any internal bleeding is always best checked out... What I'm trying to say is don't worry yourself into...

    I mostly agree .. approval doesn't matter but how you present it does... If he/she accepts them fine if not... I have these tests Erm yep but we don't really accept thopse tests OK, so what don't youi accept about them <answer irrelevant> OK, so I am ill, I eat gluten and I become more ill, I stop and I get better... I have these tests you don...

    LOL.... Thanks Geoff...(I like dicovering stuff like that and I know something new and interesting today) and lets no forget who wrote your consitution... (both versions ) As an outsider observation, the problem with lawyers in the USA is the justice system though... I doubt you will agree but IMHO lawyers are just allowed by the justice system to...

    Gail, thats not entirely true (no offense, its a subject I know a lot about), it really depends where you live and where the crops come from... (Honestly this is my specialist subject if I ever had to go on a TV quiz thing and my undergrad geology dissertation).... The USGS publishes maps... without boring you with the geology, the US has some very monotonous...

    GREAT???? That's like saying the sun is warm, the Marrianas trench is slightly deeper than head height... IT will change your LIFE! I'm not joking.... suddenly it will be NOT PC to make fun of celiac disease... resto and catering staff will be all more aware and have no escuse for not knowing what it is... and you will lose that second head..the one...

    Really, not so bad... but yes I get bleeding...just obviously not as bad as yours... hopefully that helps and you feel less like a freak I know you had a much roughewr time pre-diag than me and stuff...Gosh I feel kinda selfish...sorta thinking glad its you not me... Is that bad or is it just my "honest Aspie" side coming out??? Stop the coffee...

    Sorry I was trying to put the thread back on line.... My good "Irish American" friend Charles (Chip) Kelley lives in Boston too with his "Italian American" wife... LOL

    Not sure its really chemistry but I agree with the moisture and mild allergic reaction.... It could be something similar to make you want to sneeze... because your body has some stuff to get rid if that not ittitating it enough to sneeze? both of these though could just be associated with good childhood memories? Sorry no chemistry really here...

    Back on topic.... I wonder if this wasn't the point the MD was trying to make, albeit very badly? Its pretty hard to say... ? I think a lof of MD's see a lot of people they say must change their diet, not just celiacs ... One of my friends who is really over weight, smoked 60 a day and drinks a lot got told by his MD to go on some meds for life although...

    Its up to you... are tyou a bridesmaid? If so I'd say no because its not worth the risk being ill.... it would spoil her day and all the photo's you'll look terrible... If not then its the same chance you take any time...
