    If you can be bothered .... and its really a matter of taste cook the onions on low heat until they caremelise (20-30 mins) .... another non conventional thing I like is if you take the partically cooked gluten-free bread to actually fry it in oil, garlic and herbs.... but works equally well with stale gluten-free bread.... This is really one of those...

    gfp replied to Mayflowers's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    While this is probably true it is a two stage process. What is documented is bonding of gluten to the endorphin receptors which are precursors. The problem is that gluten doesn't fit so well and damages the receptors hence after it is purged the receptors are unable to properly bond to the endorphins. However they should repair.... over time and...

    If this is work then get a sponge... for home I buy the ones where you tear off the sticky strip. I'm a big believer in "if in doubt, leave it out".

    All OK... but is he actually aware you have been gluten-free? Perhaps you said so but he was thinking of something else. I would phone him and make sure he knows you were gluten-free, that you feel bad already on gluten and if he thinks you should continue with gluten until Friday? If he says yes then ask why.

    I agree entirely....indeed it is even more complex? Is it gluten or is it (more likely) small amino acid chains of gliadin. Testing wise... it makes a huge difference. For instance testing by GCMS would be completely different if looking for whole gluten or gliadin chains. Not not would timing be completely different but a different GC column entirely...

    Yes but the question is with or without gluten? If the biopsy is scheduled and this Friday then I don't see why not to have the biopsy if the Dr. is looking for other things or to rule thme out. Its a minor procedure .. will make a nice wad of $ for your Dr. and might rule other things out but what it won't do if you have been gluten-free is tell...

    one important thing.... Anyone can make a mistake. So even if on the off chance you do get glutened by one of these companies it doesn't mean they are bad they have suppliers... the best thing to do is write, email or freephone and let them know but be polite... they are trying and they made a commercial decision ... you might even have got glutened...

    Most people from the Southern counties of Ireland are also part Spanish if that means anything. The fact is it doesn't mean anything because most Irish people also have scandanavian genes as well, not to mention that genetically the Irish and North African Berbers are also genetically very close. Just to be clear, there is no such race as Italian...

    Sorry, I missed taking in the part about its on Friday.... I am still wondering what eating gluten between now and Friday is going to do for the biopsy? Taking the excellent example of Karen if it reacts at all it is more like having two spots on your back and a blindfolded Dr.

    Patrick, sorry I don't wan't to seem rude but we covered this one to death and back more than once. The fact is some of us do get sick from grain distilled spirits ... and not from pure rum or tequila. It took me a long time to accept this, not only am I a scientist but I have worked extensively doing mathematical modelling of fractionation and...

    This doesn't add up. He is doing a biopsy "to rule out any other issues." other than celiac disease... why would you need to be eating gluten for this? I'm not really concerned about the biopsy, I'm concerned about you eating gluten in the run up to a biopsy. It sounds like your blood work is positive and he has already said you will need to...

    Scott, I'm fine with the rules... I am just clarifying them. Totally sensible, I mean that's the way people for instance get elected to public office. By which I mean it provides an automatic review process if you can't nominate yourself... There are hundreds of ways to manage a website and non of them are particularly better ... I'm presuming...

    ARCHIVED Depressed

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

    I'm not saying walking is bad, quite the inverse. I rather think as I said that 30 mins working a day should be done by everyone! (I actually said that somewhere in the post), I think I said as an absolute minimum to having an active retirement. But if someone is looking to lose some weight there are more efficient ways (and these also have additional...

    I think they may have mentioned a specific one but ... its really not worth looking that far back! I really have to agree with Ursula and say I really hope they are healed... or back on a gluten-free diet... I don't have any problem either of them saying prayer or meditation helps... so long as they don't go advocating that someone who is celiac stops...

    I don't disagree.... what I do disagree is that threads about praying cured my celiac are left so long as it is to a Christian god and encouraging others to do the same. I am ... but it was the one that rewoke the beast so to speak.... When I first came here I reads the rules.. the rules say "Do not promote your own business, Web site or products...

    Fever is a normal immune response. Antibodies take time to create and hence the body will try and combat the invador by raising the temperature first. Since humans have a very low body temp compared to most mammals and beasts we can get a virus or bacteria from its not a very effective method.

    There is ample evidence that baking bread was little different in blblical times to today (At least for an organic bakery). Indeed it is a pretty standard archaelogical metric. For instance much of Herculaneum is still buried but its population is known from censi and hence it is known that at least two more bakeries must exist. There is also diagnosis...

    The thing is this particualr one probably needed removing but in my opinion and your opinion. If you happen to be a devote of guru "whoever" then you probably don't. In my opinion a topic telling people that "God cured my celiac" is equally in need of removal. Encouraging people to stop a gluten-free diet and pray god cures them is from my point of view...

    ooops.... Open Original Shared Link Sorry this stuff gets me hopping mad. I pretty much knew how this would spread.... Its like good news travels fast..bad news faster still. but "medical research gets cited, medical research saving medicare money gets mis-cited often". and sooner or later you will be sat oppostite someone and they will be...

    Yes I realise this, I'm just saying I can give you plenty of citations for the inverse etc. but that's not really what I'm saying. There are GI Dr.s and there are doctors specifically researching celiac disease. Nearly all the Dr.s actually and specifically researching celiac disease are not advocating biopsy and certainly not as a diagnostic. Yes...

    A lot of anything isn't usually good! When I ws a kid I used to love fresh peas from the pods (well I still do) and my mom would buy a pound at market and an hour later my stomach would be ... well you get the picture ! Fruits are good but they also pass through you.... I was eating loads at one point in a not too disimilar situation to you and it...

    Try personifying that "little devil" .. learn to detest it ... but don't diefy it. All it is is a nagger... it nags at you and hopes to break down your resolve. It has it in for you.... but each and every day you ignore it it becomes weaker, its not a deity, its a parasite, just one you have created but it took years to grow and it will take a week or month...

    I noticed a post this morning which has been deleted or dissapeared. The post related to some guru such and such site.... Given people are allowed to post whatever they see fit about their Christian religious beliefs perhaps the board guidelines should be more specific. In particualr I have seen threads saying "such and such a evangelical faith healer...
