    shai76: Its well worth testing and Nexium is massively over prescribed (IMHO). I had one GP practically wouldn't write me a script without adding it even if I didn't ask (dumped her)! I think some people tolerate it better than omneparazole and others worse... but both of them take a few days to actually kick in fully. iether way my GERD was really...

    Lynne, other than the hospital I can't forsee any costs.... seriously my American friends are conspiring ... I have a friend an ex air steward keeps offering me airmiles, her mom in Pensecola telling me I must visit and sending me packages ... my friend Chip in Boston offering me his beach house in NE and jeep if I will just get a biometric passport and...

    ARCHIVED Anyone Gone Raw?

    gfp replied to Rusla's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    They could just as easily have been British and my table happened to have two Americans on it (my girlfriend and another friend) and the UK is fast approaching the same levels and types of sickness that characterise the US ... i.e. diseases of a rich developed nation. Its pretty scary if you look at health metrics....because many low-tech nations (not...

    Evie.... good luck On a personal level just when I start loosing faith in humanity I read your post and it lifts me that your first action is to help others. On another level although osteoporosis is slow to recover from you will see enormous effects from being gluten-free. My mother was 65 when diagnosed and looked 75 .. she now looks 5 years...

    And Vit D... I'm completely serious if my antibodies can help..... CarlaB will curse you of course since she will have to live up to her promise and fiddle-faddle would get called in for some good ole chicken soup.... Its so weird, I never considered my natural immunity much .. apparently its genetic .. I guess I know I have weird genes... Its...

    Well luckily I come from a high TB area (and curiously am immune naturally??) but firstly the drugs for latent TB are nowhere near as bad as active TB so I can partially return a favour. According to the WHO TB is considered cured after 6 months of treatment with special antibiotics BUT there are side effects. The most important is to take B6 suppliment...

    Hey wait... I might not deserve it like Ursula but that sure sounds nice to me... but at my age I'm not going to have that op ahem....

    Heck, can't I be cryptic....? Its Julius Cesear from De Bello Gallico, Book III, Ch. 18 "Men/man willingly believe what they wish."

    I won't pretend its pleasant...it's not BUT I personally (as someone with severe gagging, I haven't seen a dentist in 10 yrs) would prefer not to have the ketamine cocktail at all. Its still unpleasant, you just don't remember it... (immediately..I'm waiting for peoples artificially repressed memories to start coming out in 5-10 yrs....)

    There are only three species of ticks able to carry lymes disease and transmit it. To my knowledge noone who has never left Iceland ever contracted Lymes disease. However iceland has a large celiac population. No and I doubt fiddle-faddle meant it that way BUT... if someone is bipolar or paranoid (Im in no way suggesting Gina is) then...

    Seriously up to a few years ago I thought Sushi was UGGGHGGG let alone raw beef. Its just getting used to the idea..... Like eKatherine says its easier to digest .. once you cook it it starts getting harder and less digestible and this is why its popular in continental Europe in summer... the thing is I was brought up to beleive it would kill me...

    ARCHIVED Chicken Salad

    gfp replied to ekdumas19's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I gotta agree..... its pretty sad it was a chicken sald you could have made yourself but we all make mistakes and we learn from them. Hope you start picking up soon.... look on this as a learning experience not in a negative way

    ARCHIVED Anyone Gone Raw?

    gfp replied to Rusla's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Just get good quality meat (beef) or fish and eat it raw! You shoudn't eat raw pork unless its cured longer than trychinacia can gestate. I also don't see why you can't cheat and have seared tuna or seared beef with just the outside cooked. I also second the Fit for Life (though the style rubs me up) Seriously its just cultural.......

    I agree and also remember that while you still have inflamation that too much exersize will do as much or more damage. I'm not saying don't do any.. just take it easy on your joints. As they get better you can excersize them harder.

    If you continue in that household like that you will end up getting glutened anyway. (I'm basing this on how you say it ) No the danger is that a single speck of gluten so small you can't even see it can make you sick.... this includes washing sponges and tea towels and everything else including the hoover if its used to hoover gluten. HOWEVER...

    Yes but to be fair quoting what someone else said you said is somewhat cyclic...what you really want is the mods to look at your ORIGINAL POSTS in context and let them decide. If you start quoting misquotes.... well, its decending down the same path. I think the whole thing is a mess.... but also unless you did read every post carefully (and not...

    Well food combining is a bit misleading, its more accuratly food non-combining... Basically its seperating meals into high protein (acid digestion) and carbs (enzymic less acid) and not eating them at the same time. You can google "Hay's diet" or grab a book. I first read (on the advice of a friends wife with Chron's) Fit for Life. To be...

    Absolutely and most rat poisions are nowhere near so toxic as gluten, indeed millions of people take them everyday as Rx medicines. And I agree with that 110%.... too. Look its up to you but .... whereas there is no harm in overkill there is in CC. When you are newly diagnosed you are at your most vulnerable both physically and mentally....

    I agree completely ... indeed if she is diagnosed again as not having lymes i really worry.... I equally agree that her deliberate quoting out of context was #1.... and this is the point the mods seem to have completely missed! They were blaming Gina for trying to say "that's not what I said".... The problem is they read what she said Gina said...
  21. gfp
    I think the sad part is you could have gone and had tests including the recommended one and I don't get the impression she would have let it go. Personally I'm not ready to exclude Lymes disease as a possible trigger for some celiacs...we don't know enough IMHO... but I am ready to say that it can't possibly cause ALL cases because of what you say and...

    No! indeed you pee it out through your kidneys where it can form kidney stones.

    Amy, I think you are probably correct that you have "other" symptoms but don't realise it. The whole thing has been developing your whole life so all the effects are incremental. I can't promise but I think if you go 100% gluten-free for a few months you will FEEL different and you will also learn how to spot that FEELING. (I really wish i could...

    Well equally important is that the wheat grass contains everything to make gluten.... its passing it up the stem so the basic ingredients are there being assembled and since its not the gluten but the gliadin causes the problem absense of gluten (s.s.) is not absense of gliadin and precursors.

    You are not buying it because of your paranoia, you are buying it because of his lack of respect for you and refusal to take even the most basic precautions. From everything you have said before his lack of respect is not limited to you and extends to your Church Elders etc. and I can't see in a million years how you will ever win respect from someone...
