    Yep but Ursula already got most of it ...... Dave.... if you want to research this look in google for "exorphins" this explains what you are going through.... Symptoms wise.... well you are a perfect example of how different people react. This is a well debated issue, my OPINION is there are celiacs and latent celiacs ... you are either...

    Dave, sorry just got home, Ill respond tomrrrow (European time) but I have plenty to say
  3. gfp
    No but its hard to answer it without saying that..... I can eat a whole pizza and be fine for a few hours.. sometimes till the next day.... OR I can get a crumb in CC and react in 1 hour..... As I said earlier you need to define what you mean by symptoms..... (probably as much to yourself) ... What I am trying to say is it may give you symptoms you...

    Obviously because I presumed the wrong thing about the thread from the beginning before I even read it... I really just wanted to point out that the title of the thread (while a nice idea) is probably going to get a lot of people just ignoring it.... I already presumed what the title of the thread meant.... but honestly I doubt I'm the only...

    and I was just pouinting out that the threads title wasn't conducive to that though of course she'll never see that if Im on the ignore list. I saw the TITLE of the thread and just added it to my mental list of threads to ignore stirring up trouble (which obviously wasn't the intent) but Im pretty sick of these constant threads anyway... so I just presumed...

    Well if people have me on their "ignore list" then they won't see the post.

    So far as measurable damage then best figure seems to be 4-6 WEEKS.... However that's all a bit relative.... Different symtoms seem to have different timescales and as said it differs p[erson to person BUT I'd also say it differs in a single person according to other health issues. For me I have a short 1-2 hour delay before stage 1 which is fever...

    ARCHIVED Should I Tell My Old Doctors?

    gfp replied to Adelle's topic in Doctors

    It can't hurt so long as you are not hurt by their responses. Don't expect them to admit mistakes, doctors never do, they bury them....but you might save someone else the same anguish and health problems. Just don't be upset by their responses or lack of..... I'd probably add you don't expect an answer and you are just informing them for the benefit...

    This is just an observation ... but I only clicked this by accident, I wasn't going to open this thread at all... Since MommaGoose is one of those complaining about "atmosphere" then this thread does nothing to help... I realise now its a joke....I didn't until I opened it so I just thought "ho hum..another thread I won't bother with" if someone wants...

    I guess at some point I will put in my 2c....but CarlaB has expressed it pretty much as I would have said anyway. Yes it is ridiculous but its also natural ... Most importantly someone said earlier "Yelling is abuse" .... Well, perhaps but it is also a symptom that something is wrong and i think comparing "yelling" and other forms of abuse is perhaps...

    I tend to do this myself but IMHO the downside is it can just be bad luck... they changed the runs or something or didn't wash down thoroughly....like the Freetos story above.... you might be fine for 999 bags then you get the bad one.. but then you might be fine after that run is gone for the next 999 again? Ive come to realise some brands I almost...
  12. gfp
    That's a good list but I am certain that some Cognac's add coloring derived from wheat (indeed I have a bottle in my cupboard) ... The whole grain alcohol issue has been discussed to death... the bottom line is that in some cases some gluten might be transferred ...one bottle might be fine and another from a different batch might not. Personally...
  13. gfp
    It certainly won't hurt..... I think the risk is small and its just a CYA but..... the real problem is one batch might be contaminated and another not.... but if you feel up to it you can take the risk and test... This sounds like a good rinse is probably fine... I can't promise anything obviously but personally with something like Brazil nuts...

    I honestly can't get enough of Rome....its a unique city and the city today still has the same stamp on the drain covers and public notices etc. it had 2000 years ago....whatever your interests Rome has something .... I know of one gluten-free hotel which is pretty expensive, right next to the American Embassay (Hotel Alexandra) ... food and wine is...
  15. gfp
    Yep and I think if people knew what the CODEX is then they would be less trusting .... Its not a conspiracy, all the information is on the WHO website.... its just noone seems to bother to actually read it... The Codex is written by the food industry so the standards in it are determined by the food industry which then seeks to justify them. The 200ppm...

    Honestly ... we just do. If you think about it, how do you remember to breath.... how can a human calculate where to hit a ball to knock another into a pool table pocket. --- how do you ride a bike? Riding a bike seems aweful hard at first.... so does skiing .. but people do it and then it becomes second nature. When I put on ski's I don't think...

    The actual protein content of most beers is pretty low but I don't think that means there is a safe limit. As you say you don't react to CC either I suspect that like most of us you react on split levels..... Those of us that try 100% gluten-free... (including CC) for a reasonable period mainly all find that they had symptoms they didn't realise....
  18. gfp
    IMHO great advice from everyone so far... but I love that comparison... Dog food is .. well eaten by dogs, not the most sophisticated eaters! There is literally no way you can explain to the dog it hurts you... and dogs have a habit of trying to hide bits of food, especailly hard biscuits etc. or crunching them up and getting crumbs everywhere. ...

    Unless your Italian is good then I suggest taking a free dining card (you can take a pay one but I honestly don't think its worth it for Italy, its not like you are introducing a new concept for them and the card from celaic travel is more than adequate IMHO....) Open Original Shared Link Also Roger and Lindsey are outstanding people and do this all for...

    Italy is a celaic's dream..... Children are all screened pre-school hence 1:200 people are diagnosed in Italy so everyone knows someone. Even though Orvieto is a small villiage (about 20,000) this still means 100 diagnosed celaics in that villiage. The Italian Celaic soc actually tests and gives window stickers to celaic friendly resto's....here...

    Well the theory is sound, immodium binds to the endorphin receptors as does gluten.... Its known gluten damages them.... and it seems logical that if they are already bound to immodium then they won't bind to gluten.... perhaps its only placebo ...... Yep well if it works, it works! It seems to work for me but depression and withdrawal are...

    Wow your BF sounds like a lucky guy ............. You wouldn'y believe unless you read them all the posts here from people who's significant others refuse to accept celiac disease. Contrary to a few posts I don't think anything is seriously wrong with your BF... although I can see why you are concerned. I can't give you black n white answers but...

    ARCHIVED Tips

    gfp replied to a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs

    You have gotten some good advice so far............. You don't say how old Shayna is so I don't know whether her being bothered is your concern or hers. There comes a time when if she doesn't want to be gluten-free there isn't much you can do about it... I don't see why? I worked and went to school full time and did all my own cooking, laundry...

    Melbourne isn't so much the problem as travelling .... my girlfriends grandma is pretty gluten aware.. she is always sending recipes but my girlfriend is more worried if we hire a car and drive up the East coast what to expect....I don't want to be a winging pom in every place we try and stop.... I had hoped to drive up the coast road right up into...

    Technically yeast does NOT contain gluten.... its an organism HOWEVER... it can be grown (cultured) using gluten containing products hence CC can occur..... As far as wines go I try and stick to naturally infected ones where the yeast is NOT added to the wine but is naturally occuring in the soil, vines and walls of the winery.
