    p.s. I see from your sig your allergic to coedine. I would unless you know otherwise presume you are allergic to loperamide (immodium) as well.

    thanks nini, don't really consider myself an expert though if "expert" means learning the hardway then I guess I am.... I'm certainly an expert in "ah..sharing pans is OK., and I'll wipe off the chopping board.. " .... been there done it and lost 6 months of my life I will never get back to depression and illness. If I come across strong its because like...

    This really is the killer! When you first start at riceman says you have accumulated damage... This means other things can also give you D and in either case the less irritation the faster they heal. Many of us find gluten free a long journey. We start off sharing cutting boards and stuff .. our first impressions are good and then we clean out...

    There are loads of "white pizza's" that don't use tomatoe at all. Just google or look at Open Original Shared Link Then just pick the ingredients you like and thow em on top (obviously missing out any non gluten-free ones) Also depending how bad you are with the tomatoes you could try boiling them for a long time (like over 1 hour) you need...

    I'm sorry if you think that using a shared toaster is gluten free, its not. Yep my mom started out thinking she could share food off a plate with my brother if she didn't eat the bread. Sure but using the same pan scourer and sponges is NOT safe.... or even close. You can test this easily yourself.... Get some dichlorofluorescein...

    Lister, all you have done is freak out over every symptom. The amount you are worrying about everything anyone would be ill. Nor is being perpetually worried going to help the healing process WHATSOEVER. If you can't control this constant freaking out yourself then you are going to need some professional help. He sounds like a pretty...

    So far as I know any evidence is with the cosmetics co's.... and unlikely to leave ... But the real point is in absense to the contrary I prefer not to take risks. I don't think gluten is adsorbed... certainly not as whole molecule but .... well here is the oppostie perspective Open Original Shared Link Not to put too fine a...

    Yes I think we rather treat humans as a special case (I bet the dolphins think the same about them) ... and yet we breed passive animals (and agressive ones) .. humans can perhaps cover up the excesses better than dogs but they are still there below the surface and in the genes. I think this is a very close analogy to the "domestication of humans" ....

    Harold Hadrara and Duke William (Guillaume) of Normandy Harold is referred to as a "Saxon" but his mother was Gytha Thorkelsdóttir, said to be the granddaughter of the legendary Viking Styrbjörn Starke and great-granddaughter to Harold Bluetooth, king of Denmark and thus also ancestor to King Canute. (his predecessor and another Viking) He married 2...

    Somewhat ironic that prozac doesnt exactly encourage getting out and doing active things I know this sounds funny but really almost everyone who gets into the habit.... once you make the mental connections between feeling peckish and fruit then that is what comes to mind... if you actually TRY and imagine cookies and painful cramps and stuff you...

    Imagine a 60 per day smoker... they poision themselves all day everyday and obviously their health suffers but take a 60 a day ex-smoker and get them to smoke 60 cig's straght and they will be vomiting before the end of the first packet. The body adapts to the toxin and processing it...

    Excuse me BUT SO FREAKIN WHAT! I'll say this straight.... If you cook gluten containing food you ARE poisioning yourself .... If you had the energy, two sets of pans, two sets of washing up stuff and two sets of cooking utensils AND you are very diligent AND you are very lucky ... you might just get away with it. You can't bake or use...

    And the better you get the less you will be bothered by sceptical Dr.s or family. You can go gluten-free or you can do as FaithInScienceToo suggests as well. Personally I prefer doing an elimination diet because the results are so much faster and you give yourself time to heal .... but many people do the reverse (I did) and slowly cut things out....

    Honestly the idea of syrup in coffee is horrible.... I'm English and find the idea of milk in tea equally horrid.... If I'm drinking coffee (which lets face it isn't so good for you in large amounts) I stick to good coffee and the last thing you would want to do is add anything....IMHO. The whole syrup idea (and its in the UK too) or flavored coffee...

    Try this thread.... Open Original Shared Link I never finished the 101 recipees These are all "fast food" since the idea was things you can cook in the same time as it takes to boil rice or gluten-free pasta. They are not the best recipees.... but the idea is they are good recipees to make quickly. It leaves out a few of my favorites...

    Hey, look on the bright side. I would prefer my gluten-free baking to fail any day over messing up and getting glutened Even without adding the liquid from the zuccini that seems like a LOT of liquids.

    Sorry, its not so much an answer but a question! What on earth could convince a testing lab that Promethius is a good name...? It reminds me of the meaning of life "we've come for your liver sir!"

    Gained it back and then some.... and then some more..... and more. Don't know American sizes but I was a 26" waist and 44" chest and went from that to a 36" waist in about a year... and about 128 lbs to 190lbs. (male 5'10") in about a year. The moral is keep tabs on it.... I was just so enthusiastic about being able to eat without being ill I...

    Its scar tissue... they are probably repairing it .... I can't see why not.... ask the pharmacist of you prefer but I would personally keep taking them unless they say otherwise. If your Dr. knows about the B12's then he would have specifically told you but I honestly can't see why not... Who can say.... your Dr. obviously believes otherwise...

    Dude, chill! Next thing the meds will be giving you an upset tum and D.... but it's won't be the meds its you worrying yourself sick! (ever wonder where the phrase came from?)
  22. gfp
    Obviously not but the question is how long a chain in a specific sequence needs to be left. As you know gluten is composed of two protein components, gliadin and glutamines. Glutamines are almost certainly absorbable across most semi-permeable surfaces... most notably it is the only protein which in normal people crosses the blood-brain barrier. ...

    No it shows your immune system is calming down.... Hey i spent 2 weeks camping in Italy .. ants, mosquito's and got bitten allover... including some bas&&*^d that bit my eyeball ... serious big red blotch all across it for the whole vacation but I didn't let it freak me out... 2 yrs ago I was camping in Brittany and got these little red spider...
  24. gfp
    Mosquito bites are invisible.... What shows up is your bodies immune system fighting them. Dude, you were first worried that they didn't bite you at all... and that meant perhaps they detected some serious prob with your blood... Now you're worrying it took 2 days to come up... and meanwhile your not taking the meds and worrying .....
  25. gfp
    Let's not beat around the bush.... you need an attitude change The difference is it took me 6 months to realise what you have already realised.... you are way ahread of me. Far from it... its pretty normal ... at least I hope so Yep... the no cheating thing is the BIGGY... add to that its for life... BUT.... and its a huge but...
