    Well I guess you can combine that with the I can't believe I like brown rice thread I think what we like is what we develop a taste for... to a large extent I think this just gets set when we are kids. How many people genuinely thought beer was good the first time they tasted it? The second reason is instant gratification, which is itself a kind...

    No problem then he can just make the soup for you fresh as you want it? But why does he need so much frozen food? Doesn't he cook from scratch? If the answer to these is he doesn't cook then I suggest he starts.... you need to eat and if having a few soups around is going to help why fill the freezer with stuff you can pop out to an all night store...

    I'm really not sure it is.... There are quite a few MD's whom are already studying celiac disease but the vast majority are badly informed. What they know of celiac disease is from medical school sometimes 50 yrs ago... We also have a lot of division, even posessiveness. Many GI specialists not only don't consider neurological damage, they refuse...

    Yep, lots of Spanish genes found their way into the Filipino gene pool... in either case its not completely limited to any racial group as Jaqui say's. Look on the bright side, if its h. pylori its easily curable and then the diet will start making you feel better.

    Yep but just find one in Lodon you can collect or try one of the "bankrupt stock" places like Morgans

    Perhaps or maybe its the donuts ?

    Lol that's hilarious... Its actually even funnier if you speak Norwegian cos the Danish translation isn't exactly word for word... which tickles my peculiar funny bone because of cultural differences from Norway and Denmark... They actually add quite a few thank-yopu's etc. not in the Norwegian .. but I guess this might only be funny for someone who...

    I always worried about the whole family they should get checked out for hepatites and liver function. I mean they are yellow or is this another Simpson family?

    Im not Nancy but ... Some celiacs have elevated IgA only, some IgG only, some both even taking into account TtG etc. not to mention nooone has differentiated the 4 types of IgG specifically regardng celiac. Some celiacs have no biopsy or GI symptoms at all yet react to a gluten-free diet and have elevated serology for neurological problems ...some...

    Other than the underlined part that's how I feel.... Wow ... and trying to look at this with scientific detachment doesn't help. You must be really angry and I can't say I blame you... of course it won't do any good but I'm angry for you. I'm still at a loss for words.... well a few choice ones come to mind regarding your childhood Dr. but non of...

    While this is perfectly true presently we never know what the future will bring as pertains to treatments and stuff... Because of the *need* to go back on a gluten diet to be tested this could mean if some new stuff does come to light the more diverse your tests both positive and negative (so long as they are valid) is probably better than having to go...

    hmm you might be my alter ego But you said exactly what I would have said anyway.... Moscow, you should probably look up cross contamination (CC) ... I would say IMHO sharing a toaster on a regular basis you might as well not be gluten-free... sorry but the more I learn the more paranoid I get... Uzbekistan ... wow, you really are one for...

    As I said in my first post this is something everyone should decide for themselves....and their family is the biggest hurdle... Sandwiches are convenient, no denying that but they are optional... gluten-free bread is expensive, its true but its really up to your husband and how much hassle he can put up with balanced against everythng else. He could take...

    No it doesn't it means the points they sampled were OK.... huge difference since they sampled less than 1/1000th of your intestine. Secondly even if they somehow sampled your whole intestine it doesn't mean your not celiac according to some MD's definition... If you take the genetics work of many a very large proportion of caucasians are liable to...

    No tha't why I said almost but they seem to be implying that there is a connection and also state that is is possible for someone to be celiac and have ONLY Neurological symptoms which I find progressive.
  16. gfp
    Ah, well they don't mention that... but its a common side effect if you had the amnesiac mix (read horse tranquiliser) along with hallucinations and severe panick... Either way you should do something or your insurance company will not be willing to pay for another... I'd get tough and get a report
  17. gfp
    I don't want to post that great sentence...because I think its better in the context of the article... you get down and its just WOW when you think what they are almost saying ... and it so agrees with the experiences of so many of the people here (not to mention those who say but I'm not celiac because the biopsy was negative etc.)

    This is what we do... my girlfriend will have gluten outside but the only gluten in the house is some cornflakes which she uses a special bowl for...which is washed seperately with paper towels. In general if you do have gluten around sooner or later there will be an accident and if not then its tremendously complicated... you need seperate utensils...

    I'll tell you when you tell me something of use .... quid pro pro ? oops sorry.... its just the vernacular for a pound and I don't have a pound sign on my present keyboard

    Feta should be OK so long as its not low-fat etc. Basalmic vinegar is OK if its REAL de modena BUT many "basalmic" type vinegars also have coloring and this can contain gluten. I emailed my celaic friend who visits Moscow frequently, her husband is a Muscovite ... I linked to this thread so hopefully when she has a minute she may be able to help with...

    ARCHIVED Hiatal Hernia

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

    Erm will look into the degeneration part but in general one of the side effects is mucle fatigue and pain... Of course we thing of muscles on the outside but we of course have lots inside, the heart is a huge muscle etc. we use a muscle to expand out lungs etc. and we have lots between our ribs... etc. etc. Anyway I was on Inexium (one type of omneparazole...

    In every single sense except getting the kids or hubby to go along with it its simpler and safer for the whole family to be gluten-free....

    ARCHIVED Hiatal Hernia

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

    Well you still don't know what your dealing with, honestly it could be muscle related especially with omneparazole... But I really do think you should get it checked out to be safe.... As for the HH I never had mine surgically repaired but loosing a lot of weight really made a huge difference.

    Hey, can't a guy quote Oscar Wilde without that LOL Anyway... I got two spare monitors neither of which is much good but servicable for checking here... If you can think of anyway to get them to you from either Lancs (will be there next week) or Paris you're more than welcome... but you could probably pick a cheapo one up from ebay for 20 quid...

    Chance is any ham imported from the EU will contain wheat derived glucose, dextrines or other agents used to make it "slice easily"... Gelatin is what is left when you boil skin, cartilidge or bones and let it cool Buckwheat is fine... its no relation to wheat.... I have a celiac friend who visits Moscow regularly... If you are really desperate...
