    Because it doesn't make ANY difference.... there is NO SUCH thing genetically as Swedish, English or German... its as simple as that. Let me put it this way... many Americans have celiac disease... does the fact I have American relatives make any difference to this? No because America is a melting pot of races.... Europe is NO DIFFERENT... there...

    Good perspective! On the cheating front... ??? This is a mine field .... The bottom lineis noone REALLY knows.... Take 2 extremes of cheating... you can pathalogically avoid anything with possible gluten, including things we are "told" are safe... and you can do the cheating opposite which is convince yourself things that might not be safe ARE...

    I'll look into the book but you should read the papers on "The Gluten File" ... I agree microfocussing can be bad but its all about how its done. Dr. H's papers are written openly.... he and his cowriters link to stuff and say we don't understand the link and its not our speciality BUT its there...... in this case you can't have a neurologist making expert...

    Yep and to be honest I find this the SCARIEST part of celiac disease..... I find them both microfocused (damned good word that).... but the work of Hzxzzzjzx is written up in such a way as to allow other researchers to use it whereas Fine just isn't written up :-( It doesn't mean I think Fine is wrong... he's being a damneed good MD and treating people...

    Richard, I honestly think its two seperate issues.... and that CC is WAY bigger in fast food regardless..... but there really are seperate issues IMHO... Several countries have zero as gluten-free but really it boils down to semantics... Just give me a few paragraphs to explain WHY.... In one case, I have a friend who gets seizures from gluten, each...

    Larry, as you know from working in a lab reports are not written like that... The first page lists the method, MDL and MRL's if an MRL exists... MRL's are legally defined and can be somewhat weird... for instance in the UK and Norway the amount of oil an oil rig can recirculate back into seawater is 100x less than the MRL in river water that is used as...

    Yes but the expulsion of cadmium is different, not that it really matters it's only one example... The basis of what you are saying MAKES SENSE! .. removed stuff which I agree wityh for brevity... Just to be technically correct, from what I read the FDA don't make the tests, the companies do and submit them. Like I said the whole process is...

    That's really a good sign though... it at least demonstrates they are willing to do recalls and hence take it seriously.

    Larry, its not that the levels are unmeasureable, just that they are unmeasureable with THAT test... The MDL of gluten on ELISA tests is down in the ppm range (2-20 at best) compared to what could be measured with instrumentation .. That McDonalds chose the least accurate test just indicates they didn't want to risk the more sensitive testing... I can't...

    Tim, the contention is that in the absense of clear peer reviewed papers to prove MSG is SAFE not UNSAFE. Advocacy and anti-advocasy websites rarely provide accurate and peer reviewed papers but the example of DDT shows that in many cases the equivalent back then (The internet still being in the future) actually stimulated this... Its not that the...

    Rachel, I pretty much agree... I'm just explaining the other viewpoint from Jestgar... Yes some people ... but the amount is really pretty minor and over stated... I'm not encouraging smoking, I'm just saying that the real evidence suggests most people don't... the question I guess is when is one life one too many? That's really a political question...
  12. gfp
    I don't thionk that's the real point... the point is there is a threshold where different effects kick in ... Smoking 2-3 cigarettes a day for many people would have little medical effect.(compared to living in a city). except of course nicotine is addictive.. so many/most people end up sooner or later taking increasing amounts... same goes for cocaine...
  13. gfp
    That is presumably because your not a scientist... Science consists of hypothesis, theories and fact. Gravity is a theory... for instance not a fact, the effects of gravity we measure are fact but the mechanism is a theory, at least for now. The source of the information being either from the internet or other is irrelevant, there are plenty of texts...

    I agree whole heartedly with Nantzie... Almost everyoine I know who has gone back to basics 100% and absolutely no gluten has incresed sensitivity... Take it as a sign your doing it RIGHT.
  15. gfp
    Because prior to the 60's there as no other widespread natural source of MSG... widely and regualrly eaten outside of the far east and because the quantity of MSG in kelp is low compared with the amount when it is added to food. Tim, the real point is I don't have to believe its ALL true, I just need to beleive there is a good chance its mostly true...
  16. gfp
    No its completely different! Dihydrogen monoxide is essential and normal part of our diet and makes up 90% of our body... MSG is neither. Added MSG is relatively new, it has only been added since food processing has become popular which also coincides with legislation in most countires... A better comparison is thaldidomide ... had it not been for...
  17. gfp
    LOL, it could be that.... fact is I don't know.... you'd think I would be able to think back and identify a risky time but it just magically happened like it grew legs and jumped out of the pan into the other? This is the weird thing.... and its easy to look for excuses when I was probably just absent minded? Which is my point really, with something...
  18. gfp
    Fair point, but how do you know its not true? More to the point really IMHO is what if it might be true and what about the "public" studies saying its not true? For 50 yrs we had studies saying conclusively that tobacco smoking was not conclusively linked to lung cancer! (yes I realise that's a double negative) and a non sequitur because that...

    If they are recurrent and REALLY about hamburgers but if yoor fixating then its got to have some reason... people who quit drugs often dream about the drug... and gluten is a drug so if you spend a long time feeling withdrawal during the day this can manifest itself as a dream at night. But Im no shrink
  20. gfp
    Another thing we agree on....but the reason for the US being so sick is probably far more complex than MSG... or even just processed food.... However... lots of things are toxins.. and frankly there is little you can eat that isn't in some way... As an example look at the Soy advocacy sites... and spookily its a huge commerical crop in the US.... and...

    ARCHIVED Omg.....

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

    In general i find it all disspointing ... I just don't eat it usually... VERY rarely I get some and I usually toast it etc. Problem is once you open it it gets even harder ... you might not have thought it possible but they are planning on using it on the next shuttle mission to replace the defective tiles!
  22. gfp
    Nope... Seriously that was my first thing I said on this thread... if you have cravings then its affecting you... heck I eat lots of rice but I wouldn't miss it if I stopped... not as in a craving....
  23. gfp
    I honestly agree! Seriously I think you have probably been getting cross contamination or hidden gluten... And... I LOVE FOOD TOO..... there is so much that can be made gluten-free... it really shouldn't limit you at home... All my favotire recipes are naturally gluten-free... not using gluten-free bread or substitutes... because they really don't...
  24. gfp
    Thanks... I bow to the expert (from the rock guy ) On the last one this is exactly as I see villous atrophy... DON'T DO THIS... (boy do I need that disclaimer but I got in all sorta of trouble before! ) ... If you rub your hand against a hard object like a table top nothing happens.. only it does, it sloughs off some cells, no big deal the...
  25. gfp
    IMHO... it means you are less susceptible to the gastro-intestinal symptoms ... which isn't quite the same thing... I play with statistics for a living so... I have a different way of looking at this data As I understand it... Hasjzxxjddx (or however its spelled ) is looking at a different criteria... he is linking serology for specific gluten...
