    Offtopic ???? Not really. Women's taste in men changes with their menstrual cycle and also if they take the pill or not. We all have a inbuilt need to breed the strongest stock but it's messed up by culture and society (no wonder we are so confused) 10,000 years ago a big strong man was better to provide ... now the quiet geek with glasses...

    Actually that is EXACTLY my point.... 10 years ago 1:5000 was considered the incidence for celiac disease. Now today we are saying that if 1:5320 people react to small amounts of gluten that is OK ? However its not saying 1:40 react... indeed they don't provide those stats.... Of the 26 people eating gluten most of them reacted ... since they don...

    Its all rather scary.... and I see it exactly like type 2 diabetes when Dr.s don't even bother trying to treat via strict diet but just go straight for insulin. There are people like me and you (and this board has a lot of them) who would ALWAYS go for a strict diet over insulin dependence. Well, I don't have type2 diabetes (and given my diet little...

    I'm still trying to work out who is who .... Isn't Fasano a major shareholder or employed in Alba? As I understand it the testing will attempt to show that arazotide acetate will allow celiacs to eat small amounts of gluten with minimal damage??? Open Original Shared Link I would really like to know what share of the estimated $1 billion market...

    One thing continually makes me angry is the lack of healthy gluten-free food. I go to a 'heathfood' shop to buy gluten-free food and get food full of chemicals and food not really fit for human consumption (like soya). So last night I saw a BBC program on the junk they put into food. This is a bit like a UK Penn and Teller and Americans might...

    There is no easy answer to that one. The glucose syrup from wheat can be up to 200ppm but it doesn't say what part of the product you ate is this syrup. There is considerable debate over this topic and two camps. There is NO evidence that small amounts do not cause damage, there is evidence it does..... HOWEVER:::: (I'll be honest here, this...

    What worries me most about this is the 'baseline'. The damage seen with 10mg/d seems totally acceptable because it is accepted that everyone in the test is 'as gluten free as they can be'. I really strongly suspect they only had 1 single person in the whole group who was gluten-free before the tests and this is the person who had the relapse. I...

    I think you have to make a hard decision: The first test results you show don't look very "positive" at all but then you were not eating gluten. Having a single DQ8 just means you are at lower risk of celiac disease however its totally possible (if rare) that you can have neither DQ2 nor DQ8 and still have celiac disease. (Sorry if this is more confusing...

    Can't really fault that.... Do you REALLY want the job? Is it that good or were you just casting out? Even with the cost of living are you underpaid now? Could you just get another job on say 5k more without moving?

    LOL However 1:20 children are not the product of their supposed father (random testing, for those that seek paternity tests its 1:7) Always worth considering (however well we think we know) ... its like I tell people about celiac disease, take a plane with 500 people and 4-5 with have celiac disease.... take a small bus with 20 and chances are...

    Perhaps I misunderstood but they don't seem to want people who have been gluten-free... ???? Don't they require a positive biopsy as part of the trial???
  12. gfp
    Hmmm, not sure a clinical trial is actually science !!! They seem (reading what you said) to actually only take people who are gluten lite .. not 100% gluten-free. If they were actually interested in 'science' as opposed to ONLY the bottom line they would be doing a lot research on 100% gluten-free people... However if they did that they would have...
  13. gfp
    This is what i thought I remembered. You don't seem to want to make the leap to gluten free from gluten lite.... often a 'false negative' is why...

    Nope, I react to the tiniest amount.... I react the same to a pizza and beer as I do to a breadcrumb or cross contamination. However the most serious symptoms come during withdrawal. Once you have gluten in your system you produce antibodies and stress out the system. It is not a matter of how much... Peoples reactions differ, some people...

    It is clinically proven that 10mg/day is enough to do damage.

    Not feeling a thing means nothing. My aunt said the same thing for 50 years about smoking until she developed emphasaema. Can you provide scientific evidence about Before encouraging others to play Russian roulette with their health I would encourage you to do some reading. If after doing this you wish, like my aunt to disregard scientific...

    Well, on longer trips I do my best.... its often not good enough.... so by the time its over I really need my refuge.

    Can I ask WHY you want to do this? 1) A negative biopsy for celiac disease is not definitive unless its post mortem. 2) A biopsy can be done to look for other things (such as cancer) without needing to eat gluten. Indeed it will be easier to see in there without all the inflamation. 3) Eating gluten is making you ill, after he biopsy will you...

    Yes and SCD is probably great and I probably do over 50% of it naturally.... However two posts were made on here 2 days ago.... both relating to gluten free and the FDA standards.... Both generated next to no responses. You currently have groups like GIG pushing to have gluten-free defined as = < 20ppm gluten and in the words of Cynthia Kupper...

    It doesn't sound nuts but it does sound concerning.... I'm guessing from your piccy your still much younger than I am.... As a child I was scared of the dark, witches and even Dr. Who... (as my old next-door-but-one neighbours love reminding me whenever I visit my mum).... Pipes cool, old houses creak.... the drop in temperature causes the noises...

    I only saw this as a humorous post ... I'm sure veggienft meant nothing but humor... hence the little smiley

    sorry, waiting for CarlaB to get divorced .... This might take a very long time since her partner is awesome But seriously.... I wonder if I do too much ??? I'm actually a really good cook.... (as in really good, i now that sounds conceited but really I am). I love cooking which helps but I wonder if this is somewhat intimidating???...

    Hey the Title of the thread As I have said, I also see a lot of merit... however I also see merit in heavy metal toxicity and yeast overgrowth. We could say "well there is no harm in it" except as Rachael points out, she got worse. At the same time we have had the "all funghi are bad" threads where people have been told not to take...

    There are quite a few things going on here: 1) I'm 40 and I find it embarrassing wondering if that next movement of gas will be a liquid one! I'm sure the thought of this for your son is a major factor. Heck getting a haircut can be cause for being bullied at school, let alone pooping yourself in class! 2) The school need to be more sensitive...

    Well because coeliac is found in places where peoples guy bacteria is completely different. Allison is in NYC, her natural bacteria is completely different to ours in the UK.... As i said on the intial lymes thread where the poster claimed lymes was found EVERYWHERE ... it has NEVER been found in Iceland yet celiac disease is prevalent. Another weird...
