    ARCHIVED Protien And Workout Supps

    gfp replied to tp23's topic in Sports and Fitness

    I'm not saying its not healthy, I just said compared to some other sports Ahem, boxers do a lot of CV work too, probably more than any other sport except cycling but getting repeatedly hit in the head isn't good for you The governator looks great... no arguament but then he also freely admits to taking a lof of recreational drugs and I'm sure if you...

    If the lab is onsite then there is no reason I can think of its not the same day....I don't think there is any time dependant sample prep though i could be wrong... but I know Aga, AgG and tGa can be done the same day anyway.. just remembered your doing dgenetic stuff which I think will take overnight...

    You know as a non parent it never ceases to amaze me how parents try and be perfect.... I think you loose something when you become a parent although you obviously gain much more more... Anyway my own dear mom laments this and that, she apoligises for this that and the other... accusing me of being a hypochondriac when I was undiagnosed was actually...

    The single most important thing is is it red or dark brown.... Bright red means its fresh.... this is usaully no cause for concern but still something to mention to a MD.... If you have D its not unusual, but its just overuse.... (ahem)... but it should still be mentioned !! A one off few days while you have D is no big shakes... its the sort of thing...

    In my experience this is a double sided thing..... Its probably just as important that you exclude foods that prevent sleep as ones that help.... For instance what would you have if not the rice? This isn't a secret, indeed any serious sleep problem clinic will tell you it.... leastwise of they aren't making money prescribing drugs etc...

    This splits up into two neat categories.... I couldn't agree more including the part not quoted.... The second one ... I even hesitate to say but considering your dilemna I am going to say it anyway and everyone will think I'm a complete idiot... my only defense being I was really young! As a kid I suffered from tonsillites ... but really...

    ARCHIVED Did You Know?

    gfp replied to wowzer's topic in Publications & Publicity

    That part I find less disturbing.. The part to worry about is when gaint corps are just making a brandname that caters for a "health segment" of the market. In-most cases this is simply a marketing ploy, a while back I posted the published minutes from a food industry meeting where several multinationals identified a need for food that is perceived...

    Nothing about the length of the post its full of useful stuff but don't you think it would be better shared with everyone? Not just antipodeans? Just my 2c but when I posted about Australia I made the posts here ... but its more useful to everyone if UK posts were made in the UK area etc. ???

    perhaps I should have bolded "I'm not recommending this " True but then it depends on what you mean by each time... Considerable medical opinion (which I disagree with) recommends gluten challenges of months... I don't see how this is justified... but its still the majority of medical opinion... just because you are eating gluten for a biopsy doesn't...

    The degree of withdsrawal probably varies greatly from individual to individual.... I think the most important part is to regognize it for what it is and realise it goes away. I actually think that many of the side effects of glutening are actually as much to do with withdrawal as they are poisioning. My opinion is you can divide the symptoms into...

    A lot of the question depends on the rest of your diet. If you drink unpasturised milk, eat unpasturised cheeses especially and raw meats then you are getting pro-biotics. In most cases processing of food is what removes or kills the pro-biotics hence it depends on what you eat. Humans developed eating raw eggs, milks and cheeses but the increasing...

    Rachel, the whole point I'm making is the definition of Celaic disease is not constant. It changes according to where you are and when you were diagnosed. Just to illustrate this as yopu said "but if I want to attend a Celiac support group I feel I have just as much right to do so as someone who is biopsy proven Celiac. " unfortunately this is not the...

    What I mean is that bulk food transport usually takes place in dedicated trucks but only dedicated to food grade. Basically yopu have wet transports and dry ones and meats etc are seperate refrigerated ones. Huge companies own their own but smaller companies buy from suppliers who ship bulk ingredients, be it rice or wheat. They don't really wash them...

    Or you could just have added another product you ised to eat less of... This is really just one definition of celiac, for the majority of the time the condition has been known about (2000 years) we had neither biopsy or blood tests... the invention (or modification) or the biopsy tool for the lower intestine hasn't actually changed the disease, just how...

    It might be more than a waste of time.... Inded the MD mighht decide she is not celaic based on that biopsy, even though she didn't have time and from a personal perspective what will it tell you if its negative? Either you need to eat more gluten for longer and then test again or you are going to accept the test even though its invalid? What I forgot...

    hmm... my problem is remembering what Saturday is.... I find weekdays and days of the month very abstract... The whiteboard willprobably help but I have a theory why.... At least for me I filter out as much "irrelevance" as I can, I find it extremely frustrating when people don't get to the point... and to avoid getting angry I just switch on a...

    Be real careful .... I read "The curious incident of the dog..." a novel about an aspie and found it very disturbing... Its only a tiny book and i read it on a short flight + waiting but it left me feeling very uncomfortable afterwards as when I read it I could see both sides so clearly... I was "observing" what the aspie kid was doing and realising...

    Its a fairly complex question and I don't think there is a simple best answer. As far as letting it all out, its really not that simple because gluten attaches itself to the body. As with most things the body has different ways of dealing with it both long and short term. One of the first things that happens when you get a virus is your body identifes...

    Well part of the reason I don't trust McDo's is that deep fried onions rings and potatoe wedges were brought in as a response to govt sponsored advertising campaigns to eat more vegetables and less fries... These along with salads with more calories than a big mac (in the dressing) were the new "healthy" face of McDonalds ... It can be argued if...

    Firstly I think the primary issue is CC. Before dx I used to regard an onion ring in my fries as a bonus ... and it happened relatively often... Bearing in mind this is only when they accidentally scoop it up it seems improbable that this isn't happening reasonably frequently and it only takes 1 small part of an onion ring to be in the same oil.... Or...
