    Now here's the scoop Open Original Shared Link Amazingly noone seems worried about them doing this for years until it became "news" ... You might however prefer this Open Original Shared Link

    Its cool but its still somewhat bizarre ... and in many way's reminds me of Karens post on alternative fuels in general... Farmers can grow other stuff.... it might not be as profitable etc. but they can if they want... however the infrastructure behind the wheat product and wheat byproduct industries is like the gas station infrastructure.... Huge...

    Not so cool I bet as my finding the Sumatran tiger ... (yep even in My dream I rationalised it was just a Sumartan tiger not a freakin huge Bengal or Siberian) and hence even when fully grown (poor thing was only a 300lb toddler in my dream) it could still sleep on the bed.... Funny thing I never considered that even a full grown Sumatran is still...

    If I were a betting person I'd put money the doctor is going to tell you its muscle related .. but that doesn't mean its not connected and certainly doesn't mean you shouldn't have it checked ! If your HH affects breathing then your body adapts and this can cause knots in muscles you don't realise you have! It does mean you shouldn't feel to worried...

    Its kinda like the oven though.... If its a cheap collander then its not worth cleaning, you can buy a replacement for a few cents... if its a good one then chances are its stainless or ceramic so you can prety much use the oven cleaner and very high temperature method.... with a wire brush etc. Everyone should make up[ thier own minds so I don...

    Excellent example.... Common sense says we would be using them by now if they worked..... however common sense misses one HUGE thing in this respect... the market for oil is not the issue for the oil companies, indeed we have more than enough market for oil long term... The issue is that there are HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of $ invested in the infrastructure...

    I think you just answered the question yourself .... From a doggie perspective she just spent 18 months making that territory her's and your's... then you go and de-mark the territory.. while bringing in all these new interesting smells..... In summary she problably started digging it up because it was new and covered her markings .. and...

    Yep, the problem is its very easy to make a "tinfoil hat" case out of this. I know what I read.... but finding it on the internet now is pretty damned hard! I actually read about whole internal investigation by Elsevier Press ... that I can't find on the internet.... The problem is in order to make these things go away we the "conspiracy theory...

    Depends on the fruit .... as to what's used. Apples don't usually use wax but insect protein... Lots of very soft fruits are sprayed with a candida culture which prevents other yeast based infections....but is worth considering if candida/yeast is a problem for you. For instance Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea (blue and gray mold) are...

    You don't need to get new ... you can destroy the gluten with a combination of heat and oven cleaner and good scrubbing BUT if you continue to share it chances are accidents happen. Some stuff like toasters the pop up sort are uncleanable.... its really not possible to effectively clean one without taking it into its smallest components ... so unless...

    Its completely testable, it just costs more.... Indeed its possible to test down to 1 millionth part of this in ppb, the testing is just way more expensive and takes much longer. When people quote lower testing limits they are regarding a specific test... commonly for gluten these are ELISA tests which have then benefit of being cheap and quick but...

    When you say you "never had problems" then that rather depends on a lot of other things. Lots of people eat out, share toasters and lots of other things and say they never have problems. They could be correct but equally they may not see the problems because they are masking them. The problem is how you define problems.... What I know for...

    Like I've said before it all depends what you decide to call celiac. As we both know our knowledge of the mechanisms are rather limited, and I expect the definition of celaic to be revised several times as knowledge of it is revised and collated, eventually leading to different classifications of celiac according to different criteria, just as diabetes...

    Yep but I think itsone of those things where you feel the effects elsewhere.... in many cases because of stomach acids affecting other stuff. I used to get breathing problems which felt like they were in the lungs/under the ribs... Anyway... regarding surgery it was suggested I might need it and I was put onto ranitidine for life... this was all pre-diagnosis...

    No I find it weird, like I said given its a relatively new product and if you don't rinse it it tastes ugggghhh you'd think it would be in their interests that people don't buy it, not know to rinse it and then decide its yuck! In the same way you'd think those that have pre-washed it might advertise the fact ? I mean do they expect people who are unfamiliar...

    Karen, Although the discovery wasn't so big as cancer the discovery of heliobacter pylori by Marshall in 1994, linked to its treatment with very cheap pre-existing drugs is an example of how a cure for a potentially fatal disease was actively repressed. Although this was eventually settled once h. pylori was accepted the two main medical publishing...

    That's pretty much what went through my head too.... however I guess people know about rice (although the amount of chemical treated rice is making a bunch of people who only know how to micro/boil in the bag) ... Given its tastes horrid unless you do rinse it though you'd think they would put it on the marketing stuff??? Its not like I Think they...

    I think in 90% of cases anecdotal evidence is probably the best... Exactly... the whisky might be OK.... but how can you tell? Exactly the whole process is somewhat liable to very small things... its like what we call in England "Chinese Whsipers" (apologies if there's a PC term now).. and I beleive is called "telephone" in the US... Just one...

    No probs then This is the other confusion I sometimes get .... sometimes I have a bad stomach and feel kinda weird the next day .... nothing to do with gluten so much as over indulgence but heck it can be hard to tell what's what under those circumstances.... In fact I think the bottom line with the distillation thing is actually just to be aware...
  20. gfp
    Its usually a good way to work things out, often the best way, especially if you have other intolerances .... its what I do for most things closely followed by what works for other people.... However it doesn't work for distillation..... I'm not sure which part I am not explaining properly since I've posted the same information several times nor am I...

    Quite honestly that doesn't sound too healthy..... Don't get me wrong... I can see why but perhaps you would benefit from more variety.... It could also be you are eating too much brown rice pasta... is it ONLY brown rice and water (+salt) ... ??? Also it sounds like a horrid time ... are you certain your wife is not eating gluten ? If she is then...

    I know what you mean.... everytime I get glutened I get "a cold" .. only often when noone else has... I now look back at pre-gluten-free days and actually wonder if I ever really got a cold most of the time? Its amazing how much the bodies autoimmune reactions are similar....

    Yes, I posted this a long time ago...

    With all due respect, it doesn't "explain" anything. Its simply an opinion doubtless written by someone who knows a good deal less about distillation than I do. The fact I agree with it doesn't mean its an explanation... I just posted for the n'th time an explanation. If tommorw the CSA site goes down this doesn't change whether distilled alcohol...

    Ryan, since your asking for advice I am just going to lay it out straight....or as I see it.... Firstly, going gluten-free can be a big deal ... BUT what makes it the hardest is when those around you that you love don't buy in.... The hardest loved ones to deal with are those who know you before diagnosis and often think you are going over the top...
