ARCHIVED Wooden Spoons
gfp replied to emcmaster's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I understand and sorry for the thread getting dragged off. What I found is that real threat or not when your continually sick the more things I know it can't be the better. If you wanna play a test then try putting some strong food dye like tumeric into your dishwasher and run a cycle with a clean wooden spoon. Everyones dishwashers are different... -
ARCHIVED Quinoa....yuck
gfp replied to singingserena's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We all taste things differently, I love grapefruit... so long as its not too sweet... and I'm not against eating a lemon if its a sweetish one.. I'm sure lots of people find that gross I personally find quinoa pretty bland (in grain form) (when washed)... but that doesn't mean everyone will. An interesting article you might find interesting is... -

gfp replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I even had Nicole around begging him to "come out" but I think he has no intention .... of ever coming out. me sits patiently waiting for a letter from his lawyers. Rachel: If you read this take it as me following your advice! -
Not really... the title says something like "no scientificness here...." If that's the thread title I just steer clear away because it has the potential ... neither am I attacking the thread.... its just a thread I chose not to look at because of the title of the thread just as if I saw someone started a thread about "Intellegent design" ... I have come...

ARCHIVED Has Anyone Ever Tried Dietary Specialties Products?
gfp replied to ElizabethN's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
They are not particualrly good.... They also in Europe use CODEX gluten-free.... I can eat limited amounts of this and get sick... If the products were really good I might think it was worthwhile taking a risk and eating just a little but they are nothing special. I wouldn't lay out $75 to find out! -
ARCHIVED I've Been Eating Wheat From Mcdonalds!
gfp replied to Run-4-Jesus's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
agreed and nothing has changed..... However if we had a dollar for every time we might be substantially towards actually paying for ACCURATE testing ... (presuming we could actually get hold of the oil ) So read the old posts and make up your own mind... is really the best. -
If you have a thread in your name against "scientificness" then what do you expect.... I have never even looked at the RachelVille thread because its very name indicates the content is likely to be is offensive to me. This is not a criticism of the thread, which I haven't even opened .... indeed If people wish to express their disdain for fact and...

ARCHIVED Ideas For Classroom
gfp replied to hapy4dolphins's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
IMHO I would try and cover food intolerances not just celiac.... My reasoning is twofold.... firstly you reassertain that your daughter is "normal" food intolerances are very common... so she is not classed as "different".... Secondly you stand to help more people.... You can then zoom in on celiac as the one you are familiar with and give more details... -
ARCHIVED Wooden Spoons
gfp replied to emcmaster's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Fair enough, everyone can make their own choices but I should add it doesn't need a porous surface, gluten is by its nature very sticky... and the most efficient way to make "pure" gluten is by rinsing wheat flour with an alkaline solution.... such as dishwasher tablets. That's fine.... This is really where I disagree.... I view eating in any resto... -
ARCHIVED Don't Know What's Wrong
gfp replied to GlutenWrangler's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Brian, it doesn't matter what I get be it a cold or whatever, when my GI tract is inflamed from glutening it manages to express itself in my GI tract. The same goes for large changes in diet, normally spicy foods don't affect me at all but when I'm glutened they do, same with anything acid like dry white wines or cider (or pepsi). Same goes for me taking... -
ARCHIVED Don't Know What's Wrong
gfp replied to GlutenWrangler's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
it doesn't surprise me that if as someone pre-disposed to intolerances you get problems sticking to the same diet for a long time. Anyway 3 gallons is still an aweful lot.... IMHO worth having checked out all by itself... A gallon or at most a gallon and half should be more than enough... you really can kill yourself drinking too much water... its... -

I put my chicken in the closet but it was already cooked.... When I went back to find it there was just a sheepish looking Tom Cruise....and chicken bones.... Tom is, I believe, still in the closet though I am scared to check. -
ARCHIVED Need Proof Of Pharmaceutical Company's Power?
gfp replied to Canadian Karen's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Good point, although the 1900's technology didn't allow you to get very far ... interestingly when I was young in the UK the milk was delvered in recyclable glass bottles on electric carts.... the size of the round being the length of the charge they took... Today everyone jumps in a car to drive to a supermarket to get plastic bottles ???? When you... -
Hmm I passed out a lot after exersize, I thought that just mean I was doing it properly.... ? If I ever finished a race and didn't pass out or close and vomit for 10 minutes I figured I hadn't really tried ......I could never figure out runners who finish a race and can talk... I always figured they just didn't try very hard. Anyway... i get some...

ARCHIVED Bourban Whiskey
gfp replied to BamBam's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sure but if you want to test 100,000 bottles we can clear it up. In fact most of the contorversy is down to the way distillation is taught at highschool, and to some extents grad school. The way its taught is not just incorrect but its 19C science.... but the problem is it is simply not guaranteed .... Equally when my mom went gluten-free her... -
ARCHIVED Hardbite Potato Chips gluten-free?
gfp replied to gabby's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Perhaps it does.... Either they are being deliberatly obfusciating or they don't understand what gluten is.... Either way.... that largely answers if you want to trust them... Doesn't inspire me with confidence when taken with the oats statement.... AND the fact that if the production lines are mixed then obviously there is a risk of CC .. however that... -
ARCHIVED Don't Know What's Wrong
gfp replied to GlutenWrangler's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I second everything fiddle-fadde posted + but anyway...... first off 3 gallons is obsessive.... most people (myself included) don't drink as much as we should but that is way way too much... it will dilute your electrolytes which upsets your stomach, makes you ill and can cause D.... Well I doubt it was either that or the hospital unless you have... -
ARCHIVED Garlic Bread Or Breadsticks
gfp replied to StrongerToday's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Yum sounds good.... Actually very similar to what I was going to post.... we get some gluten-free bagettes here that you have to bake for 10 minutes to finish cooking.... I cut em in half first, and add olive oil with garlic crushed in... then just finish the cooking process off.... Another thing I found wuith the hard-white sliced stuff (which taste... -

gfp replied to amarieski's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Seriously it gets easier and easier.... once you get a good solid base things start to fall into place.... I know it seems really confusing now.... I realise this talk of CC sounds a bit too much..... but it all falls into place.... We are trying to give you a head start, I'm doing it based on what when I look back I wish I had done.... not what I did... -
ARCHIVED How Can I Help Her?
gfp replied to cdfiance's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Im actually geting quite partial to lemongrass and ginger tea.... its free as well.... when I peel ginger or cut up lemongrass I disguard the hard bits and peel into a little wooden container I have set aside (well originally I kept garlic in it)... I either make this just as it is... use the little tea-baggy filters you can buy packets of.. OR add it... -
ARCHIVED How To Get A Pre-teen To Go Wheat Free?
gfp replied to janelyb's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Wow.. I just browsed through this thread out of interest.... lots of good advice! Cruiser Bob: Can't argue.... and IMHO whatever you force on your kids "under your own roof" is just as likely to it leading to completely the opposite once they branch out of their own.... Granny Garbonzo: equally good advice but now I feel I'm missing lots of... -
ARCHIVED Question
gfp replied to Anteau25's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Last time I looked into this I compiled a list of al the trade names.... like Decco I-182 .... and just keep following links then usually you find more tradenames ... keep writing them down but also write down words that the 'trade uses' these come up with the most shocking stuff because its talked about so casually by simple farm-folk... just like sheep... -
LOL.... it could also be because the old place already smelled of you .... I really think this is some territorial thing.... however the fact its enjoyable is proably not helping! Reminds me of a friend who's an artist who just got a part time job at the National museum of contemporary art ... in his own words its like a guy being given a huge trainset...

It sucks full stop.... my girlfriend works in a bar and her manager is moving on so after having ordered a drink I didn't really want to start off with ... her manager bought it... and we were in another bar at the time and the barmaid gave us all shots, which I had to decline anyway... (already getting that look) then she balances the shots over red-bull...

ARCHIVED Question
gfp replied to Anteau25's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Oh, just in case we have any jews or muslims as well Chitosan (poly-β-1,4-glucosamine) is not kosher or halal in its usual form since it is commercially extracted from marine crustaceans however it is possible to have a kosher halal one by extracting chitin from land insects which are. Pretty much all beetles, flies and cockroaches use chitin as an ...
