    Yep but hence why they end up in the ground meat!

    Its always a good idea to wash meat anyway since the butcher may also have been making sausage meat etc. Technically though I have to wonder if the intestines don't hang on to some gluten?

    ARCHIVED Thai Food

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

    Authentic thai food is almost all hot. If you ever travel to Thailand then true Thai food is very hot. I had an Arabic friend who came to a Thai resto with me which cooks authentic Thai dishes and he ordered one of the "hot dishes" ... since he figured he's Arabic, he can eat hot food.... anyway we ended up switching plates because he couldn't eat...

    As I have said before this is a absolutely negative attitude. I could easily say 98% of people who do a gluten free diet do not maintain it. If people set an unrealistic goal 25% below their ideal weight then sure most people will not attain it and those who do will find it difficult to maintain. However if you set a realistic goal able to walk...

    Yet another thread goes religious! I don't suppose the lawyer and expert witness had anything to do with this? Must have been god who was too busy crashing a plane so that he could miraculously save one suvivor when they took the child away? I guess since its all down to god then sharing the information with other mothers in the same situation...

    I would say that depends if they are gluten-free or not. If they are gluten-free then I would say not since they would have to do a gluten challenge. If not then why wouldn't you?

    Doll, this is an involuntrary action. You produce about 100cc of mucous a day.. do you spit it all out? The reason I ask is because you seem so sure you can't ingest gluten by breathing it. Its a long time since I was at school so perhaps this has changed since I studied the process of the 'mucociliary escalator' however we still use this in lab...

    Its very true, even things like handwriting make a big difference (I'd be lost without a computer). It doesn't matter here but if you are going to write a letter to a TV programme (how do you spell that in the US?) .. then they are going to decide on your "intellegence" from that letter. Having both dyslexia and terrible handwriting I found this...

    Geneaology only tells half the story because it only shows what is told to the family or is written on a birth certificate whereas genetics have shown a significant percentage of women lie about the true father of their children. Even in gross cases where the child is going to look nothing like the father for instance there is a huge difference in...

    If you breath in particulate gluten then you are swallowing it. This is the whole purpose of the cilia and trachea to trap particulate matter in the mucous and transfer it to the trachea to be swallowed. However perfumes are full of allergens. Before I went gluten-free I couldn't even stand outside a department store without streaming eyes and headaches...

    Well this certainly won't happen while people keep referring to themselves as a certain race ....just because they are told this. Even today with contraception 1:25 children is not the child of their presumed father. I'm sure it was a lot more in the past. People are adamant the world over thay they are of a "pure race" wheras genetic testing shows...
  12. gfp
    I usually take the lists of other allergens as a good sign.

    An interesting perspective and I largely mostly agree. However... I think the problem is also that MD's talk to people as if they are idiots. Last time I saw one Dr. (for anti-histamines) she asked me how I was and I said not so good because I'd been glutened and she asks if I had eaten a cake or something by mistake. I mean do I look that stupid?...

    Ok, This is weird... its OT but Open Original Shared Link Note this isn't in class, this on on the school premises....

    I believe the same but I alsways think caution is better

    Make sure you use a spell checker or they are unlikely to take you seriously, unless you still intend to write to the president in which case use small words but don't worry about spelling.

    Most bouillion cubes seem to have gluten ...and if not dodgy labelling... I only buy ones saying gluten free.

    gfp replied to Nancym's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    The point is even worse. Dr.s are now choosing not to tell diabetics to contro sugar or lose weight (depending I or II) Its already been decided that screening downs kids is not worth it because of the inconvienience and "cost" of a gluten-free diet... asthmatics in the US are being denied certain drugs because they are taken though inhalers and are...
  19. gfp
    If you are in the US then yes.... If you are elsewhere then it depends what it is made from.
  20. gfp
    This only applies to the US, elsewhere it is made from barley or wheat... or more or less any starchy vegetable. That depends, malting is the process of allowing a cereal to geminate and then drying it . They are formed by enzymatic degradation of starch by certain bacteria, for example Bacillus macerans.

    The point is ranitidine was beneficial but it was also engineered NOT to cure. It is designed as a drug to be dependant upon. The reason it became the worlds best selling drug was marketing.... They put it in a different colored packet....they targetted a disorder that is found in a large number of the population etc. etc. and when someone came...

    The cost of food is set by two things, the market and the cost of producing it. Most people eat rubbish... to start off with so the whole system is geared to producing cheap rubbish. This is just capitalism and I really don't expect your president to do anything he see's as anti-Capitalist. There is a much larger debate which I don't really want...

    This is pretty much my view. Besides a little e. coli is not such a bad thing every so often. The worst I ever had was in Africa when I had typhoid ... yep it sure sucks but I did get over it and that is almost as extreme a form of food poisioning as you can get. Yeah I know.... its weird you see people avoiding the potato that got dropped...its...

    Yes cooperate but make sure you do so with a lawyer present. Just to say, its your lawyers job (and that of your expert witnesses) to actually do that in court .... I know you know that but its important you think like that. In other words you don't need to discuss the medical facts, that is your expert witness. You don't need to bring up previous...

    Glad to see you back! Hope the articles I linked to weren't too heavy! How about doing a BLOG... loads of free ones... use it as a food diary. That way its really easy to share and ask questions on what you ate etc.
