    This isn't something easy to explain like you're 5. Firstly, we talk about gluten but gluten is not the culprit. A very small part of the protein that is gluten is actually the bad guy... If you really want it like your 5 .... This is like blaming the bus that takes you to school for getting bullied when you get to school. The bus is just...

    I think there is react and REACT .. if you see what I mean. Last weekend I got some CC, I spent Sunday in bed feeling like I'd been kicked in my guts... Other times I have been really bad (after an accident) ... and the reaction has been minor..?? The reaction doesn't seem to have any correlation with the amount of gluten... and some symptoms might...

    Unfortunately this is the case for many... We don't realize the little CC issues until we are gluten-free for some time, often longer than a weekend. Sharing a kitchen, unfortunately we are constantly being CC'd because try as we might other people won't have the same mindset towards gluten as we would have. They don't need to be deliberately careless...

    Well, tell him to start smoking and slowly build up to 100 a day... Then he can give up.... After 3 months tell him to sit and smoke 100 cigarettes in a day ??? Or he could just look at it this way! The body gets used to dealing with the toxin, just like a heavy drinker or smoker. Someone who takes heroine everyday can take enough to...

    Most healthfood storews have some gluten-free selection however it can be patchy and the same store may not restock some items ... and the same chain might not carry the same items etc. Naturalia does a whole thing about gluten-free bread but they REALLY DON'T HAVE A CLUE ..As already said the 'fresh gluten-free' bread is kept on the same shelves (unwrapped...

    CUK are funded by the food companies.... It is convenient for the food companies to be able to call gluten-lite glutenfree. There is NO evidence at all that this does not cause damage to any c(o)elaic... there is NO evidence for this. CUK will not provide it nor back it up because they are paid for from the food manufacturers. Besides: this...

    If all you do is count calories then you can eat anything you want... The problem is it doesn't make it healthy. If you are counting calories then every empty calorie is a waste. The BBC ran an article on the olympic swimmer who eats 11,000 calories of absolute crap everyday... his diet is junk... he doesn't make a single concession to healthy foods...

    I think mostly our hair just gets used to a product..... I'm not saying one isn't better or fels nicer but that over time your hair adjusts to whichever product you're using. Your water can also be a big contributer...

    I am about the same... luckily I do know the scientific names so it's easier ... My incident in question was quite embarrassing. I'd actually run out of soap and had a old bottle (a present from an aunt) of shower gel I'd been using all week.... to cut a long and embarrassing story short .... I got caught short... the bar toilet was engaged and I had...

    Either 6 weeks is too long for a bug or he has a bad one .... Either way it should be simple to check the stool for an infection .... I have a friend who gets seizures from gluten and got herself into a state of fasting ... but everytime she did she still got seizures. I also noticed this effect on myself (not seizures but glutening) but I lost...

    Given they are not so expensive but drop the bowl and oops... ?? I have a cheap one (forget the brand and its boxed and packed pending moving) and it works fine... Size wise, I think I'd rather have 2 cheap ones than one expensive one ??? (more flexibility on portion size since you more or less have to cover what your cooking)... Why not see what...

    You seem to be just looking for an argument and I really can't be bothered to argue with you.

    But I bet you know how it tastes ??? I think its next to impossible not to get any shampoo into your mouth when showering... certainly you can be extra extra careful but then you breath the odd bit in (which end up in your back of the throat) ... As for adsorbing.... I dunno but I do know I think its a bad idea to get it into your bloodstream and...

    I've done ALL of that.. and it just keeps coming back!

    Your Hubby sounds great.... make sure you do keep him up to date as things change... we all start this journey confused... and sometimes we forget to keep partners up to date... and forget its confusing for them too. As a guy (like me) your hubby will feel a bit powerless over something affecting someone he loves so much .. keep him as infomred as you...

    Actually CUK have campaigned for what they claim to be clearly labelled. some facts: CUK have trademarked the crossed grain symbol. Companies cannot use it without paying a royalty. Most small resto's etc. obviously can't afford this.... CUK finding is almost entirely from the food industry. They are a registered charity and hence...

    Sorry, I can sympathize but have yet to find the cause. I have had this for years.... it is HORRIBLE... I retch every morning trying to clean my teeth. I'm constantly bunged up and excess mucus... I use salt dissolved in boiling water and then left to cool which alleviates the problems but doesn nothing to cure them. I use an old spray...

    Well, other than having a wonderful wife who is doing 101% what can we say ? Are you gluten-free? It will reduce risks.... has he started taking more risks? Has he lost weight? I have seen cases where gluten seems to have been stored up and whenpeople loose weight seems to get released? (or at least this has been the simplest explanation).....

    jewlesD You are doing everything correctly. Your reaction is extreme.... but there is a good chance you will recover slowly and the reaction will be less pronounced. HOWEVER: Things can get worse for a short time before better. Meanwhile: I strongly urge you to read up on cross contamination and hidden gluten if you didn't already...

    True, however it's oft as well to stress an obvious case since we are "educating" against the sort of advertisements that make rather wide and meaningless statements. Almost everyone on here at some point will be told "but its organic wheat, it won't do you any harm". etc. There are often threads on different supplements from trace elements to...

    I already did. it seems everyone else grasped it, perhaps one of them can explain it.

    Beef tapework is relatively harmless. Unlike some other types which can migrate out of the digestive tract beef tapeworms have never been found outside the GI tracts. They are easily treated and cause minor complications... I think people are more squeamish than anything yet our bodies contain millions of flora and fauna, some parasitic and some...

    LOL But good point, The sales assistant might be wondering if she has celiac disease or perhaps her sister got diagnosed and she's wondering about the genetics or ..... You never know she could turn out to be a celiac buddy ?
