ARCHIVED Shocking Story #2
gfp replied to concerned-mom061's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Even in the absense of a specific defense fund you must be able to find some legal aid to help you through this. I really suggest turning your energy towards finding a lawyer with experience in MSBP... This is probably down to a single person.... who has then convinced the others ... Your lawyer will probably want to hire a PI to dig up dirt on this... -
My thoughts EXACTLY.... I wouldn't mess about.. demand the tests in writing and demand to know how these tests rule out celaic .. in writing and the purpose of the MRI in writing. Keep it very short.... do not apologise.... DEMAND.....very plain and simple. Before you do this you need to prepare yourself. Your Dr. will probably be scared...

ARCHIVED Is It Really Possible To Avoid Trace Amounts?
gfp replied to rutland's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think it depends on the person AND timing. I think initially the setback to a small amount of gluten is a lot worse than after you have been gluten-free for months. It can feel opposite... but the actual damage and general health recover faster ... Secondly I think there are a lot of symptoms that we don't realise until we go completely gluten... -
Thank you.... I think you might look back and see this was actually a really good Dr. giving you 110% and actually trying to shock you into the seriousness of this. Ahem... anyone who says "I personally don't care" in this context obviously does! If he didn't care he wouldn't have said anything! This really is the hardest part...

This is always a difficult subject. In one way I think I am just a regualr Joe with somethings I can't eat... in other ways I think I'm a celiac. Whoah... what... am I defining who I am by a medical condition? "Hi, my name's steve and I'm a celaic.... Ive been gluten free since ....." What is this? When ever I start thinking like this I start...

Much as labelling is what they need I also think that they have obviously chosen to mislead. -

ARCHIVED School Gave My Child A Sack Lunch!
gfp replied to Jodele's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Sounds ideal perhaps from his perspective. I spent most of my time at school at 5-10 trying to get made to stand by myself in the corridor....especially in classes hwere the teacher made me sit next to someone. Perhaps he's hoping not to be forced to have to eat with other kids???? -
I used to do this for reasons of economy and ... well not forcing my food on visitors etc. Then one day I cooked the two pasta's in different pots with different spoons and lo and behold I serve myself the gluten-free pasta shells and find a pasta spiral in..... Now given I'm the sort of person who find's his keys i the fridge and such I guess it was...

The other thing I do is use almond flour in the gluten-free flour mix. You can use the end of the wine you used as a base for a glaze as well.

Nope its very weird.... I completely agree.... I know lots of anglophones in Paris who don't speak French... I had one friend who would call me up from KFC on his and say things like "Will you tell this guy....." then pass the phone over????? (actually it usually included the words dumb and ****) Yeah sure.. whho's the dumb **** ... they guy serving...

Vicki.... A lot of my "harshness" is perhaps incredbiity that JennFog is cooking things for her husband he can't be bothered to go and shop and cook himself? I find this in itself bizarre. Sometimes my girlfriend will ask me to cook something time consuming (not even non gluten-free) and I will just tell her to cook it herself... sure I do 90% of...

I certainly have more than a few traits.... but I prefer non-NT....I don't really know enough about it to think i am or am not.

No i just dislike them and the bords love them.... I used to pick em out and throw them away but when I moved I started sticking them in a bag for the birds and adding nuts and things.

ARCHIVED Celiac Disease Putting A Strain On Marriage And Life
gfp replied to tsomo's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
May I suggest doing a search on this forum..... You have nothing to be embarassed about anyway but there are people here much much worse than you ... I would point you to them but that's really not very nice for the people who have the problems! You know your answers.... why not bring hubby on board (literally as in here).... I for one could... -
ARCHIVED Violent Response To Getting Glutened
gfp replied to RebeccaMSL's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think you can come through that..... If you do go really strict for a time period and the gut heals then yep you get D.. and perhaps worse than before but it doesn't set you back to square 1. You get over it and that's it.... the hard part is when your being constantly low-grade glutened. I'm convinced that "coming down is the hardest part" When... -
ARCHIVED I Feel Soo Awful
gfp replied to Nikki2003's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Mistakes happen! lets hope it was OK.... consider taping a huge warning to the non gluten-free toaster.... but better still only use gluten-free waffles... -
My wild birds get a string bag with mixed stuff... like nuts and seeds (and raisins - I pull out of gluten-free muesli) bits of dried fruits and sunflower seeds etc... in the winter I add extra fat... although I'll sometimes give em a fresh olive in summer I guess they don't need a "complete" diet since they are wild.... but they seem to like it...

What Ive been doing is boil the fruits in a sweet desert wine and use half the sugar. Its not so sweet BUT it doesn't need to be because the complexity of the wine gives it a bit of extra ...

Absolutely.... check the thread ! With a very clear exception of Iceland the racial purity of Scandanavia is a lot less than people tend to think. The most obvious is the Mongol influence in especially Finland but also that both Norway and Sweden practiced "eugenics" from after WWII up to the 70's!!!! It was an offense to be homeless...

So far as screening studies through Europe are concerned figures range from 1:133 to about 1:150 based on Rome II criteria. No significant differnce exist in screening tests, only in diagnosis. However... Well the last people the vikings wanted to mess with were anyone else who had a similar command of the sea. The pirates of the Barbary...

I'm not a big fan of anti-anxiety meds, at least not long term but I have to agree., Lister: chronic tension is not something that goes away when you chill and watch a film. If you have anxiety all the time you can push it aside when watching the film but its still there in your subconcious and then you go to bed and then you stress even when asleep...

Both are opiates and both attach to the endorphin receptors which are damaged by gluten.... -
Saxon's: very little is known of their origins before the 1st C b.c. At this time Roman historians placed them between the Weser, Elbe and Eider rivers. However Roman historians were not exactly great at classifying barbarian tribes. They could write volumes on peoples they considered educated and washed but frequently mixed up barbarians. Normans...
