    Cottage cheese is VERY high in casein and low in lactose...

    ARCHIVED Harry Potter

    Yep but you'll be paying at least double for it Really I couldn't beleive the price of books in Oz... especially novels. I'm looking forwards tot he final book before I start the last one... so I can read right through... I think the whole series is very well written and I read it in both English and French...(up to the last book)

    Yep, this is why I don't post very often.... The fact is I'm not interested in "advertising", neither was Allyson but those are the rules.... The rules changed to allow links in our sigs but that doesn't interest me because the reason I want to post the link is because I have information to share, pure and simple. That information is indexed and linked...

    I had a gluten-free at univeristy 15+ yrs ago who's sister had it.... though I'd forgotten the name... The whole concept is so silly anyway, how can you be allergic to wheat

    Janie, please just stop and consider this.... The biopsy is not 100% accurate, even for long term gluten consumption, neither is it definitive. The biopsy can detect other things (like the big C) etc. but it cannot give a absolute negative for celiac disease and that's if we take a very narrow definition of celiac disease. Your villi do not dissapear...

    Part of the problem is the raw materials and their transport ... for instace even if the line is using 100GF stuff they can still be contaminated in transport... unfortunately the better quality smaller outfits also suffer from this aspect perhaps worse than huge oners, specially local shops who suply thier own because the transporter for bulk flour,rice...

    LOL.... I'd so forgotten that film "it's people ... " LOL but its not far off the point...

    I'm just drawing it to your attention before you get told off ... I understand your reasons for posting... its just one of those quirky things on this board... (personally I'd post more if the rule didn't exist since I get tired of retyping the same things but that's just the way it is )

    A bit of D is normal for probiotics ... but you shouldn't be taking significant amounts of iron unless you are deficient... its the number one killer suppliment. (literally killer)

    Yep, what I do in those instances is write the letter I want and then tear it up, having got it outa my system (the grrr ... not the gluten) then try and write a constructive letter. However making it constructive is difficult enough, even after venting into the fake letter so I thiunk I'll prepare a ready letter and use that good idea...

    This more or less says everything so I thought I'd just add my 2c to it.... The biopsy or not is a personal choice and dependent on your MD and history... their knowledge of celiac disease etc. etc. Its a mine field with no perfect answer... it depends if your present MD is up on it and if not if you want to educate him/her yourself or find...

    This really makes sense... going gluten-free is fraught with learning from your mistakes and this can put a big stress on your body... some people adapt really quickly and others longer ... so although Im not saying you should worry if it happens life would probably be easier and less stressful if you are already on top of the diet and not worrying about...
  13. gfp
    Yep my view is most gluten-free breads are dissapointing,even the better ones ... so I find I'm dissapointed less by something designed to be gluten-free, whether its a corn tortilla wrap or a chickpea based middle eastern/Indian bread... the main thing I find is to try and eat something that is designed for that and your pre-expecations don't get disspointed...

    Its really irrelevant if you think about it because the starter sugar is consumed by the yeast... and regardless of the type of carbs it starts off with it has to break it down into sugars anyway... so you can bypass adding sugar but the yeast will break down the starches into sugars to digest them anyway..(it will just take longer).so if your concerned about...

    Unfortunately this seems to be the trend, along with the fact that its becoming increasingly "cool" to be ignorant? Sometimes I wish Newton had not made his "standing on the shoulders of giants" quote (you can just google for the whole thing) ... but I guess we have to accept that most people have no wish to know how most of the things around them and...
  16. gfp
    Yep, I guess its better to have a letter pre-written because after glutening it can be a little hard to put things constructively.

    I'd really not want to get into details but I loathe Christmas .... from my times as a child where XMAS meant everyone else laughing because we couldn't afford the same must-have-latest toy to my mum being ill most years through not eating in order to save up to buy the stupid presents that everyone at school would make fun of... of course I didn't realise...

    We are floating between Murumbeena and East Malvern... Great .... Im off to check those links right now ps any news on the Heinz ketchup?
  20. gfp
    Yep I honestly haven't seen so much gluten-free food ANYWHERE before..... The only problem is seperating the 'wheat from the chaf' so to speak.... in that lots of places say gluten-free but obviously mean low gluten-free or lower risk... We walked a good few miles yesterday to get to a cafe which advertised gluten-free and then after they guy proudly...

    LOL Its so true, too hot/cold I was even told I'd be lost without a car but the trains seem to work pretty good round Melbourne.... and you can always WALK which seems so obvious ... funny thing I asked a jogger for directions to a Mall only a few miles away and she said why do you want to walk when you can get a train???? (actualkly 2 trains so it was...

    A very good question, it seems we are? Everyone I mention it too seems to think Im nuts.... why not fly? Why would you want to go there? In the end it was settled for me, I left my credit card at home (I only have one actual CREDIT) card the rest are debit cards and the card is sat at home next to my PC from booking the hotels for New Year.... and...

    Now there was me wondering if anything has changed .... .. and no its still the same dangeous and misleading advice. Ah and that was real scotch or some immitation? I really can't be bothered finding links but many of the distilleries actually SAY its not gluten-free... Scotch especially doesn't help if its top shelf because the top shelf scotches...
  24. gfp
    Let me reinterpret that.... At the time they did the biopsy ...... as you get older and your regenerative ability drops off then I would predict that this will change.... However that is only considering the damage to the villi which incidentally takes 4-6 weeks to repair. In other words your body will be constantly stressing itself even though your...

    Your problem with cheating is like trying to cut out tobacco by reducing the number of cigs per day.... gluten is addictive and every time you ingest it you start the whole cycle again.... Different people find different things addictive.... The founder of AA died from smoking .... think about that for a second.... many recovered hard drug addicts...
