    I understand where you are coming from but this begs a whole load of other questions... Firstly I'd be glad they do anything gluten-free at all but then I would expect to pay a bit more or be ready to pay a bit more. Look at it this way, if you went to a fancy $100+ a person resto you can reasonably expect them to cook anything you ask for that they...

    Yes, and I really appreciate you help in this (I know your busy now) .... What I mean firstly is an "Italian genotype" doesn't exist. The genotype pools are much much smaller. If you choose a single place and simply study the gene trading over 10,000 years then the influences are huge. Language affinities vastly underestimate this because they...

    ARCHIVED Depressed

    I think we pretty much agree.... I actually made a lifestyle choice when I moved and proximity of local walkable services was a part of that choice. As part of that lifestyle change I got rid of my car and invested in a shopping trolley (loads of change) ... I think my emphasis is don't walk for 30mins and think that's enough... its really an absolute...

    Red isn't bad.... if its red the haemoglobin is fresh... which means its pretty close to the exit sign... If you have lots of D its not abnormal... The mucous is undigested fat....you need to reduce that inflamation.... If a Dr. prescribed water it would have warings that exceeding the recommended dose could kill you. Don't work yourself up over...

    Or its just pre broken down into smaller compenents? We are forgetting the strictly not celiac disease... blood brain transmission.... I know its not strictly celiac disease... but for many of us depresion and neuro symptoms can be the worst .. ( incl seizures)

    Not specifically but I am familiar with the Khazar's... most specifically from their role as allies to Constantinople. But also in reference to Jegstar's question.... The specific type (49a,f Haplotype 11) haplotype is thought to have been introduced eastwards prior to the rise of the Khazar nation but the same migration is also historically associated...
  7. gfp
    That is rather my point. Part of this comes from looking into various haplotype markers (a while ago) and part of it comes from knowing a bit of history and a very large part comes from having worked with todays (or mostly yesterdays) military in 3rd world countries. You can add other's bits of common knowledge... for instance the English (really...

    If you have a lot of stomach acid it acts on your lungs and causes breathlessness. Most people notice it worse if lying down, especailly if the head is not propped up or when really bending over like hands and kness under a bed but any sitting type activity makes it happen.... Its really bad if you dive.... you naturally have your feet above your...

    5 months isn't so long... when they have suppliers and the suppliers have suppliers etc. During a recent "worcester sauce affair" in the UK they found some carcinogen in part of it and this was if I remember down to some factory in Africa somewhere that made a particualr coloring. However from this point forwards they then had to go to all the foods...

    How about when you bend over... under a bed or tying laces standing up etc...

    And WOW does that hurt beyond all proportion!

    Perhaps... that's the last time I sit on my cellphone! Ugggh

    To me they obfusciated a fact and not perhaps without motive. The fact is the prevalance of celiac disease is exactly the same (or US researches took Italian data)... What is different is the screening of all kids. Given we have already seen a "screening doesn't work" study... (GRRR) one has to wonder if this isn't funded by the same people who...

    You missed the 50 questions thread! Actually I'm actually reading a couple more... a " Kafka for beginners" .. slowly making my way through the complete works of Dodgson... (and have been for a year) ... meanwhile me thinks of a way to post a photo of "the Gallery" from the book which is in Naples and doesn't refer to my website.......

    I also tend to think its not likely but .... there is always the chance of ingesting some not to mention skin creams etc. are all supposedly engineered to carry the "product" into the skin. Quite how much marketing hype this is I don't know.... but they add pro-vitamin this and extract of who knows what and sell it while claiming its dermatologically tested...

    Thats not really what I'm saying.... Indeed the Vikings invaded most areas of looting and they were not exactly know for consentual sex with the locals. The Longobards invaded Northern italy... and the goths and visigoths invaded right down to Rome. but hardly before the Romans had already spread their DNA thoughout most of Europe and the Middle...

    I agree.... We know lots of things are adsorbed through the skin .. everything from contraceptives, nicotine and various medications.... so far as I know noone has conculsive evidence it can't be. My personal rule is "when in doubt, leave it out" and I have this for many reasons one of which is directly related to this. A while ago I got increasingly...

    First this made me LOL ... then the more i think about it the more your simple statement seems even truer.

    Strangely enough this is where my celiac journey began... The first thing the Dr did on my shortness of breath was give me a tube you blow into which measures lung efficiency and capacity. First blow it went off the end of the scale... so he asked me to repeat..which I did.... Hardly a surprise .... really
  20. gfp
    There is a whole lot of extra stuff I missed out. If you see a traditional Norwegain costume Jewelry is very important.... the women folk needed to be able to take their wealth with them when the men folk went "a viking". Vikings never built permanant villiages ... they used wood even when in many places wood was scarcer than stone. The whole...

    All these threads on "Where do you come from" and trying to link that to celiac got me thinking. Take any European country and it is non homogenious. There is no French gene pool or Italian gene pool... etc. A Northern Italian is related much more closly with a Scandanavian than someone who's family have spent 1000 years inbreeding in Napoli but probably...

    Its just the typical uneducated BS. No it isn't the diagnosis rate migh tbe higher since these countries screen but the incidence in screening for Italy is exactly the same as the US. (1:133) As I took pains to point out on another thread there is no genetic "Italian"... they don't exist. Ireland? Well lets forget it was occupied by Celts...

    1. FIRST NAME? Stephen 2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? St. Stephen 3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Probably watching some war film after glutening... 4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Detest 5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Anything gluten-free... 6. KIDS? Nope 7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Probably, my close friends are...

    Breathlessness is often just caused by severe acid reflux... excuse the just... because it is extremely frightening but you can get acid inhibitors that really help this. (omneparazole etc.) Stress makes it worse and not being able to breath is about as stressful as it gets. Hence the danger of a catch-22. Vertigo my mum had for a while....but I...

    I wouldn't risk it ... but I'm not dairy intolerant (much) ... but on the other hand I'm sure an independant will be more than happy to use your own soy milk... I don't usually have milk in any coffee except perhaps first cup... anyway and the relaince of starbucks on "coffee based" drinks is really just that they use the cheapest nastiest coffee. ...
