ARCHIVED Rise In Celiacs Or More Awareness?
gfp replied to up-late's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think its a whole combination, simply by saying its very very rare stopped diagnosis of many... Also because of the way foods are manufactured today its impossible to miss it out. When I lived in Africa I was mostly gluten-free because 99% of what I ate was fresh fruit, meat and veg so I only got gluten in large doses... so if you stop eating bread... -
ARCHIVED I'm Tired Of Living Like This....
gfp replied to shai76's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hey, thats not mad, Ive had people move away like they are going to catch a fatal illness from being in my proximity and others who think gluten-free food must be bad for them...like a non diabetic shooting insulin or a photographer shooting children.... shia... keep your chin up and count down the days not up -
Thanks for being up front over that, it really does help. One thing you experienced, albeit through your mother is the merry go round of uninformed GP's. In your mothers case it was something else but most celaics have gone through similar and many of us have after 25 yrs and more of being ill finally been diagnosed. Obviously I don't know your mom...

Me too.... Well its almost more than halfway because if they actually understand CC you are automatically in a better position. if they state seperate preperation areas tha't even better. I'm also happy to have an allegern free prep area, even though I can eat peanuts and seafood I'd rather forgo the peanuts etc. and just have an allergen free...

That depends what you mean by do not have it. Do not have elevated AgA, AgG and transglutamase or one of the three OR biopsy? or were not tested etc. Just bear with me and I'll try and put it all together... No but perhaps some of them were? and this is really the point. If we start off with a presumption that they cannot then we will...

Were you actually pregnant or just borderline pregnant? more tomorrow when I am sober.... (hope you realise the above is rhetoric)

It could equally be that Ad-12 cannot take hold without damage to villi. How can you say someone does not have something if they have NO diagnositc evidence to the contrary? The majority of celaics are untested, I think the current incidence of diagnosis in the US is 1:4900 whereas in random screening 1:133 is commonly stated hence only 1:37 celaics...

ARCHIVED Beware Of Dasani Water On Your Flight
gfp replied to ms-sillyak-screwed's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Ursula, the most common ground to air missile used by US forces is the Stinger. It carries a 1kg wahead and explodes OUTSIDE. It is also being fired at specially armoured and redundant aircraft designed to take combat damage. The effectiveness of all explosives depends on containing the blast so hitting a plane from outside is the least effective.... -
Do you mean identical twins? Non identical do not have the same DNA. Well probably but I wouldn't want to be certain that anyone has ever routinely tested. It also depends if you mean celiac disease = total villous atrophy or raised IgA, IgG. I think that is a seperate question. If you have celiac disease and continue eating gluten...

??? I am sorry, but I think the whole situation boils down to immaturity and selfishness. I think a lot of women see their wives as either an extension of themselves or as an extension of their fathers. When their security (home, income level) is threatened, they throw a tantrum. They might (gasp) have to grow up and see their husbands as vulnerable...

ARCHIVED Beware Of Dasani Water On Your Flight
gfp replied to ms-sillyak-screwed's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
It is worth pointing out that 2/3rds of the world don't even have clean drinking water let alone worry about if a single bottle of perfectly drinkable water has certain minerals in it. I'm pretty certain I can find commerical spring water with more of everything in it that Dasani. -
There is a lot of truth in this and the thing is it can be made to work for you as well. Really, if you are cooking non gluten-free food you are going to be contaminated and the ideal is as Nantzie's husband as done. Everyone has different triggers, some people only listen when a MD tells them and others only when they read for themselves. Some...

ARCHIVED Beware Of Dasani Water On Your Flight

A 330ml bottle of most high explosives would be more than adequate, in an extreme case all you need is depressurisation but a 330ml bottle of high explosives is enough to demolish a lot. For that particular one but not in general. there is a reason pilots use eyewash on long haul....or if they have allergies and can't take any anti-histamines that... -
ARCHIVED Irish Heritage And Celiac's
gfp replied to Queen Serenity's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
How can you be sure if you havn't checked. Genetically, on the Y chromosome line, a majority (>87%) of Croats belong to one of the three major European Y-DNA haplogroups -- Haplogroup I (38%), Haplogroup R1a 35% and Haplogroup R1b 16%. The R1a haplogroup that is usually at 40-60% levels in most Eastern European countries is at 35% within the... -

gfp replied to ms-sillyak-screwed's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I don't think its specifically to inconvience us but i don't believe it has any practical value either. It is simply a "we are doing something" measure and the extension of this to PILOT's is simply dangerous. Now on a very rare ocaision I am actually qualified to comment on something as an expert I might as well take the chance. Spring water is... -
ARCHIVED Test Results (mainly Non Celiac)

Funny thing on RBC... I have a very high tolerance for low oxygen both altitude and snorkelling and my rbc is always on the high side.... I only just thought, perhaps this is why. -
ARCHIVED Upset About What Colleauge Did To Me!

Yeah, I think you made the right decision too. I just provided the alternative as a option but the involvement of the kid is really inexcusable. -
ARCHIVED Test Results (mainly Non Celiac)
gfp replied to gfp's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
wow thanks, Changed my original posts since you reminded me of the translation. cylindre = cast I had a kidney infection a year or so ago and only just outside normal range wbc but the Dr. (different one) asked me before if I had a urinary infection (well she asked in that special baby language they use like does it hurt when you pee) ... My... -
ARCHIVED Test Results (mainly Non Celiac)
gfp replied to gfp's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Yeah the calcium oxalates are indicative of having the chance to develop a kidney stone but equally the elevated Leukocytes in the blood and presence in urine seem to suggest a renal or urinary infection? -

ARCHIVED Test Results (mainly Non Celiac)
gfp replied to gfp's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Yeah the thing is I have a very nice but hypochondriac Dr. I went with kidney pain and she ordered full tests and is worrie about a kidney stone. So she also ordered ultrasound and some other stuff I can't read her handwriting (LOL) this is kinda expensive so my idea is wait and see if its a kidney infection or not before paying out for ultrasound... -

That's how the underpants gnomes travel here from their dimension! Luckily I sell a special antiwormhole device I can sell for only $200 that prevents this.... send all money to ascammer@scam.net quickly before you loose out. Only limited socks left.. I mean stocks left. Is it just me or is this getting silly -
How about gluten-free alveoli and tomato sauce?

Well they are actually rather easy to make but rather harder not to kill yourself with. Nitroglycerine or TNT dissolved in ethyl alcohol are both a doddle to make at home .. the real question is how not to set them off before you want. However the whole restriction is pretty much stupid, turning nitroglycerine into dynamite can be done at home too... -
