    I'm pedantic by nature! Honestly I'm not saying this against you I am just standing up for the poor and misunderstood molds. Molds is just a label but its not a scientific taxonomic classification. Its a humanocentric classification .. For instance as I'm sure you know many "nuts" are not nuts. A brazil not is not a nut.... but we call it a nut because...

    The article is wrong. Both of these statements are wrong.... Baragnuades and societe both use natural propagation fro the caves, papillon uses bread. Exactly how toxin? Salt is toxic... vitamins are toxic.... ......... and these "toxic" substances are also taken by many people in the form of suppliments. Strangly enough if you look...

    I'm not offended really I'm just more concerned with others reading the end of the thread.... who might not have the same level of faith but still rely on it and to have been told elsewhere that god is punishing them. Again its best to give a personal experience I guess to illustrate this. After my mother was diagnosed her priest told her that...

    Intervening with someones kids is always risky ... but where do you draw the line? I was queing for a phone card in a tobacconists a week or so ago and some very heavility pregant woman pushes through the long queue ... saying she's pregnant and can't queue (fair enough) and then buys 2 packets of cigarettes????? Sure I'll let her through if she wants...

    Yeah once they seal then they are good for at least 6 months but once yopu open them they do go off faster than commerical preservative packed stuff. If you use the jars with the little pop-up you can tell they are sealed as they cool.

    Bucheron is available in a blue variety... Bleuet from the Loire is also very nice but somewhat hard to get hold of outside France but its nearby cousin Crottin de Chavignol is more available. So far as I know all of the blue part is natural... it develops on the outside and doesn't produce veins like in ewe's blue cheese. Sainte-Maure de Touraine...

    I don't know but do the antibiotics actually do anything....???? Last time I had a huge one my Dr wanted me on antibiotics so I asked why and she said it was to prevent infection not to cure the boil. Since I don't get infections I didn't bother

    I think the point is that the thing most likely to upset a celiac in blue cheese is actually the lactose or casein. If you are going to eat blue cheese then eat a natural one which is not made from penicillin grown on bread where you know the origin of the penicillin. Obviously people allergic to penicillin should avoid it... that I hope goes without...

    Blue cheeses originally started in caves. Some use bread to culture the penicillin and others do not, they let the natural penicillin from the walls of the cave naturally infect the cheese. The specific strain of penecillin is dependant upon the specific geography of the area. On top of this many celiacs also take probiotics which are found in natural...

    Actually unless you are ill or very old (or stick your whole head in a bag) very little wheat flour should reach the lungs... the filtering is pretty good on anything that sticks to water... and transfer it direct to the Mucociliary escalator ... and hence into the stomach.

    How about amyloid protein? In addition since amyloid cannot itself pass the BBB then could a similar mechanism be transmitting gliadin? just out of interest do you accept he studies of neurological pathology with gluten?

    LOL, thanks nini! It does give a pshychological boost

    i must have missed that... I bet the waiters are all breathing a sigh of relief There is a tapas chain called La Tasca... a few outside London but the Covent garden one is pretty good. You can't get all the items like the paella is only gluten-free in the mini (tapas sized) versions (which are prepared outside) but I usually take that as...

    I just finally got myself a spring/autumn jacket. Its taken several years.... every time I think I'll buy a light cotton jacket I look at the price and decide I can get a nice leather one for the same price! Of course I have a lot of leather jackets now .... I gave 2 away in the last year so I'm down to 4.... however 90% of the time I end up wearing my...

    Lillyth... I have been saying this for a LONG time. I have spent a lot of my professional life working for the research departments of oil companies ... and ANYONE who say's distillation always removes gluten does not understand distillation. A company I worked for spent millions researching multiphase azeotropic distillation (which your molecular...

    My mother had a history of cystites which eventually led to a hysterectomy and her being very ill. In retrospect ... a gluten-free diet might have been the answer..

    Very true and I know you are a cheese lover who can't .... so you are hardly saying this through self-interest! As it happens many real unpasturised blue cheeses have a lot of probiotics. Also you can be allergic to one penicillin and not another. Sorry can't post link as it breaks board rules.

    There is a reason for this. Waiting tables is not very well paid, the UK has no minimum wage. If the resto lists 12.5% for tips it is doing this to avoid paying tax on that 12.5% the waiting staff will not see any of it. Most of the waiting staff will not be able to meet there rent on what they are paid, they rely on the tips on top of the 12.5% the...

    Last time someone in Australia said they had a cure for ulcers it turned out to be true! and that was against all medical knowledge.

    The point was already better explained by fiddle-faddle. Before the hearing the talk was of lawyers, legal process, expert witnesses and prayers.... After the hearing it turned into prayers, prayers and prayers.

    Cindy... I think its far more important to consider what a mom like yourself who knows she is not guilty who reads this thread would think if she submits to god and then the child is still taken away. I'm sure prayer can be a great comfort for many but what I'm saying is consider how someone would feel if not only they find the legal process stinks...

    Karen, and the thing is many many people here did give support. Regardless of their own beleifs. One of my beleifs is you are innocent until proven guilty however not everyone on this thread supports that view. This still doesn't answer why when god choses to crash a plane and take the lives of 200 people and leave one survivor how the one person...

    Then in all honestly NOW is the time to do a blood test. Either way... because if they go gluten-free later you will have to put them back on a gluten diet. Noone wants to do this but least of all a mum ...
  25. gfp
    That is one area... IMHO the appropriate and dare I say "christian" attitude would be to help other moms who have to go through this trauma. Say prayers, fine but don't exclude the fact that good lawyers, a decent legal system and actually being innocent also help. There is a lot of practical advice concerned_mom can share which will both help out moms...
