    This is a bit complex.... The main point is that overall my health is much better .... 300 odd days a year I feel better than I ever did BUT when I do get glutened it hits me harder. That is I seem to have further to fall...... BUT overall the health improves faster.... My villi are I presume in good health and my nutrient adsorbtion good so when I...

    Click on the Spanish flag (some of it is still in English since my Spanish is really bad! .. waiting on an Artist is like waiting on....???) But also the two previous expo's (left column at bottom are all in spanish cos I copied the text) and am waiting to translate it to English and French... seriously Carla, lots of Spanish if you click on...

    Carla, I have been a little busy.... not to mention other things going on here ..??? anyway if you want to practice your Spanish you can see what I have been up to ... Open Original Shared Link incidentally almost all the photography is mine as well ... this in itself took a while!

    We are staying with my girlfriends grandma over XMAS but we have an opportunity to travel after... though at the moment we need to book the return flights too. Can anyone suggest an itinery.... something not too expensive and hopefully where we can find self catering easily? I had thought of driving up to Queensland and spending new year on the reef...

    I'm meant to be spending X-MAS in the Melbourne suburbs with my girlfriends family.....g'ma etc. However I want to see more but my girlfriend is nervous of travelling with my celiac disease. Or perhaps she just doesn't want to... who can tell .... anyway afdter spending a day on a plane and a day back I'd like to see some neat stuff like the barrier...

    This has been discussed at some length .... search for altoids on the forum IMHO the risk of contamination elsewhere is much greater.... just preparing food or cross contamination (search for cross contamination as well) So while I think it needs to be said that if you are eating together and using the same pans and dishcloths the chance of contamination...

    Actually its been a long time but I find some of the buckwheat breads actually do a very good dark rye bread subsitute.... perhaps my memory of the real thing is fading but they are very flavorsome and almost taste over-healthy ... I can't it loads of it at once because it sets like lead on my stomach (these breads are really dense) but its excellent...

    Yes but I think on the whole the whole dextrine and dextrose lines are made from corn and there is probably only a couple of factories making it in very large quantities ... I know before the regualtion it was "accidentally" only from corn and I think this is just an economic fact.... its cheaper to make additives when you do so in bulk... and start with...

    or as you said before we were talking about "the cost of a gluten-free diet" .... A lot lot cheaper than dealing with the long term effects like thyroid damage or cancer. (when you said that it really put it into perspective!)

    I don't think if its free or not has any bearing on this the rule states explicitly And when I asked specifically this includes FREE, non commercial and charities as well. Apparently the important word is your.... not business ???? I guess the question is whether this is a product????

    Actually you can also just fit new seats....if you want I'll ask my brother which cars have the same pin layout ... but its likely you can fit a Lexus seat for instance from a breaking yard. My brother fits replacement seats for disabled people which rotate out of the car and do lots of fancy stuff and he makes his own seats now... but when my uncle started...
  12. gfp
    Yep this is certainly one of those. You can call them up and say it says wheat right on the packet.... and I am certainly more willing to believe someone here who called up .... how do I put this... Its not like I think the callers are lying there are 101 possibilities like the call centre has newer info .. or older... or the company have a standard...

    Gotta echo those questions...... Were you formerly not eating beef? If you have been vegetarian for a while then your body probably just needs to adjust slowly.... It might also be distateful but the less its cooked the easier it digests..... but perhaps if you haven't eaten it for a while then very small portions would be a start?

    I don't know what it is this week but you are not alone! I did exactly the same thing as you over a juicy set of pork ribs ... even my friend who was with me said I was stupid and did everything he could to stop me ... although I was already glutened elsewhere through a roast chicken..... I don't know if its something in the water or what but we all...

    ARCHIVED Arg! Glutened

    gfp replied to Adelle's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Adelle: This happens to us all. I have even bought things myself and read the labels 3x (once on the shelf, once going into the trolley and once unpacking) When you do this with something you then have as a comfort food it can be really tough. I used to buy a specific brand of tortilla chips and later when they changed the labelling they had unnamed...

    Somehow I can't help thinking of a Seinfeld episode!
  17. gfp
    Yes..... more when I have the energy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. gfp
    Yep but that's the sweet ones I find them two different animals, Im more of a savory person but I do have sweet sometimes then I use about 50% buckwheat down to 1/3rd.... Probably healthier than just the bacon and drippings though I think the buckwheat tends to adsorb the fats so they are less of a shock to the system...
  19. gfp
    I tend to use that mix for sweet crepes (with jelly or jam for English english) but for savory ones I find the pure buckwheat best... it is of course a matter of taste but I find things like goat cheese and ham are better with the nuttier and somewhat more robust flavor of buckwheat ...
  20. gfp
    I find buckwheat quiet heavy and a bit burpy, especially in buckwheat breads... but its not glutening or even a intolerance for me I just find it hard to digest (I think)

    Once again there are several people here who are propogating myths which are simply not correct or do not fit the experiences of many on the board. Regardless of medical papers having been previously posted they post the same information each time. From my point of view its not about being right its about posting the correct t information for the...
  22. gfp
    I'm not entirely certain what should be done when someopne posts inaccurate advice? Several posters here consistently post advice which is inaccurate and posting the medical papers to prove this once does not seem to detract from this. As I mentioned on another thread, if someone asks if McDo fries are safe then what is the correct answer? Whereby...

    This is just an idea of mine.... it makes sense since the body stores other toxins away like this but I'm just making 2+2=5 ... however I don't see any evidence that gluten is not stored ... Like most things vitamins and minerals are toxic in large amounts, there is a point where you are not getting enough, just right and too much (a bit like...
  24. gfp
    I rather think this may have something to do with it? I dunno, trigger or such .... I was a semi-vegetarian (at home) for 4 yrs or so and during that time I consumed large amounts of soy proteins.... Looking back my first digestive problems also started about the same time ....little things like I remember one night my dinner just didn't leave my stomach...
  25. gfp
    Well you could have used the pan to cook something with gluten in it before being gluten-free.... You should also look at whatever you ate the day before as well.
