    Carla, that was the sort of retreat I had in mind.... OK Carla ... best to stop before I start thinking about the film!

    Hate to say this and start another "conspiracy theory" but did they ask permission to record the phone call?

    AFIAK Rice "spring rolls" are mainly vietnamese and called nems... OMG are you sure? Its part of the same family as parsley....(Apiaceae) Incidentally and totally off topic the hollow stem is what promethius used to steal the fire from the sun.

    ARCHIVED English Check?

    gfp replied to gfp's topic in Publications & Publicity

    Yeah, I tried but I want to make sure its syntaxically correct. I spent most of my time at school just waiting until I didn't need to hear another grammar rule ever and being told by teachers to concentrate on woodwork and metalworking skills so I'm a bit sensitive about writing to a professional writer. This might be funny if I was not sitting here...

    ARCHIVED English Check?

    Open Original Shared Link My spelling is BRITISH.... its a british paper but any cleaning up of my restricted English appreciated. __________________________________________________________________________________ Please tell us the problem. For our reference, internally this comment is on the piece titled The poisonous truth about our daily bread...

    My issue with soy is its another closely linked allergen ....my mother who was much older than myself when diagnosed had problems from day 1.... I have never experienced any to my knowledge but I just think adding something that affects many coelaics into my diet as a subsitute is generally asking for trouble.... My girlfriend bought me some gluten-free...

    forgot to say Harry Potter books rock..... not only are then fun but they are exceptionally well written AND she writes them to expand reading ability. Book 1 is aimed at 10yr olds.... (well a 9yr old girl is usually reading at 10yr old guy level) and book 2 at 11 etc. etc. so the vocabulary is (added, aggrandized, amassed, augmented, deepened, enhanced...

    ARCHIVED A-m-e-...?

    gfp replied to JenKuz's topic in Doctors

    I wholeheartedly agree but from the MD's perspective if he has people rolling in and out of the practice and he can't fit any more in then the number who get messed about is irrelevant...and meanwhile they are paying 25c less an hour.... sad.... but true....

    AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Why did I never think of that! Its always a prob because the cooking time is so sensitive and soaking them in the boiling water leaves glue at one end and cardboard at the other if you try it with spagetti....

    ARCHIVED Doritos

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

    No.. what is REALLY STUPID is what I did once... getting back to the UK and wanting my fav flavoured chips (crisps for UK readers) which meant I opened the bag and took a bit THEN started reading the labels while still chewing!

    OK but most importantly is mullet gluten-free or not.....

    WOW ..... Well welcome to somewhere we do understand! I have a few comments and a few speculations ... Im going to cast them all into the air together but that doesn't mean one or any of them is you, I just want you to look and read and then think OK.... first off.. Soy is a problem for many. I personally am fine but I keep it in moderation...

    Rachel, I agree right up to here but I think there is a point that these can degenerate into something wholy dangerous. Its one thing to pray for someone to get better and another to try complimentary things but when these advocate extreme and damaging measures its another. This includes when MD's say stupid things like "Why not just try gluten again...

    Shopping... In general major supermarkets ... which are somewhat hit and miss in central London.... Tesco, Asda, Sainsburies have gluten-free sections, M&S has them in with "normal food" .... If you are driving its worth a trip to the larger ones outside of central London. Resto wise... a couple.. I usually try and find a La Tasca tapas place...

    EEEEKKKK OK, I better not comment on that type of retreat...suffice it to say its this sort of thing that gives me my views on religion...but I guess your pastor's reluctance might be quite sensible given this. .... and as for AS diagnosis.... well as you know its a set of tests made up by NT's... so IMHO its a non-NT test which doesn't mean all...

    I never quite understood why "mullet"?
  19. gfp
    No but you can often work them out.... For instance tomato soup has X g. of fat and the fat is pretty much only going to come from butter/margerine or oil... The protein g you can assign to the milk.... Just use 3kCal/g for protein and carbohydrates and 9 for fats... 1/8 tsp gluten-free baking soda ??? just a guess... if you are in any doubt...

    1 lb. home canned or tin canned whole tomatoes 2 cups milk (optional) 2 Tbls butter or margarine (dairy up to you) 1/8 tsp gluten-free baking soda salt and pepper to taste You can add a pinch or two of celery salt ... stick in a blender and .... Oh... and it's also a nice soup You can make an authetic Campbells by obtaining some...

    Easy is relative...... Looking back I think its much harder to eliminate foods one by one which is what I did for 6 months ....than eliminate everything then slowly add them and on top of that I think mostly we all tend towards doing the gradual elimination BUT its way more confusing ...was it the soy or was it the milk???? and the whole delay thing with...

    rinne This is a very good point..... When I was a noobie and first diagnosed I really thought I was gluten-free..... I wasn't and people kept telling me don't trust processed foods .. don't believe about cosmetics not hurting .... and mostly about CC and hidden gluten I was wrong and they were right.... If it hadn't been for these people I might still...

    I think you can order them either way! Seriously though anything can be bought in Dubai for the price and you need to decide what that price is.... Certain things seem expensive at first and others dirt cheap (and Ive lived pretty much throughout the region) and its up to you to compensate yourself and hopefully save some money ... If you want...
