ARCHIVED Maltodextrin?
gfp replied to hineini's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for posting that... which is why I said I was not sure. I have read a study mutliple times (it keeps coming up) that obviously pre-dates this but i was equally aware it was an old paper. I was aware the labelling laws had changed though. Do you have the date of this? Reason being I have a couple of products I have held off using in my cupboard... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Soy Sauce.......
gfp replied to jnifred's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was going to reply .. and then did a bit of research. What I was going to say is now irrelevant because it turned out to be a whole lot more complex than I thought... think inuit words for snow! I think people should probably just read this : Open Original Shared Link queenofhearts: it also contains the Chinese and Japanese labelling !!! -

ARCHIVED Just A Shake Of My Head
gfp replied to jennyj's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Is it not possible to elect to pay for one and arrange they are done at the same time? Not necassarily, the waiting list in France is same day but you still have to pay a small portion or have seperate "mutuelle" insurance. -
ARCHIVED Just A Shake Of My Head
gfp replied to jennyj's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I think you can see this in different ways.... For thepoor friend, she probably does see it as major surgery. She is probably frightened and confused... not to mention the medical disclaimers. I think the compassionate thing would be to tell her she is welcome to the time off and that this is already given BUT for her own sake she should realise these... -
ARCHIVED This Celiac Relationship Crisis Thing Is Real!
gfp replied to eleep's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
What Im saying is guys can be dicks! I should know! The way you see it and the way he see's the ambiguity are probably very different. I am also a bit weird... I expect complete trust in a relationship We all have good and bad days... and on the bad days we can become obsessed with stupid things. We can clutch at straws or we can see unintentioned... -
ARCHIVED Maltodextrin?
gfp replied to hineini's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm not sure about by law. By law it should be labelled if its from wheat but as i understand it this is simply chance/economics that it is made from corn. This may have changed but this is my recollection from older studies. The biggest danger is that in the EU it is usually made from wheat... and dextrine is a commodity like any other. If... -
In all probability its just undigested fat's.

ARCHIVED How Much Gluten Before Blood Test? Please Help!
gfp replied to hineini's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I would not take the tests if I were you. A false neg is not a good thing to have for many reasons. Your Dr. may be less than knowledgeable on the tests but most Dr.s don't want to admit to mistakes like this. You can find yourself in a position insurance wise where you have to write you tested negative. On the other hand, if you push them for this... -
ARCHIVED Weight Loss And Calories
gfp replied to guitarplayer4God's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I will 3rd avocado's Often more regualr sized meals is better than increasing portion size or just adding calories. Take small meals and a rest afterwards, Sumo eat mainly vegetable soup ... just lots and sleep after. Doing exersize will stimulate appetite. Doesn't it just! But its true, you are what you eat. Also, chew... -
ARCHIVED How Can I Convince My Family?
gfp replied to ElizabethN's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It is unfortunately all to common a problem. The best suggestion I can think of is most people shy away because its weird, minority disease ...etc. etc. If you can get one of them to accompany you to a local support group then they might slowly come to realise its more common and the symptoms more diverse than they think. -
For me it was largely a backwards process. When I decided to reduce cow milk products I actually realised that most of the ones I actually REALLY liked were sheep or goats. It might just be personal taste....but it might also be a bit of the body knowing what's good and bad? I have to be really strict with myself over cheese in any event because...

Yes I was giving the maximum lee-way since some cultures did or at least archaelogical evidence points that they did. Inparticualr the pre-dravidian peoples of the Indus valley... With the exception of stilton and Parmigiano Reggiano there are really very few cheeses worth the name made from cows milk depending if you count buffalo as cow IMHO....

Sounds exactly the same. I find I have to cut them open or they just grow and grow. Obviously no Dr would agree on DIY but I'm not going to a Dr. everytime .. last time she wanted to refer me to a surgeon worried it would get infected etc. etc. then relented and finished it off herself and gave me a prescription for antibiotics and gauze etc. I didn...

That's the problem, D, indigestion ... pretty much the same as celiac disease. I know its like a minefield. Like I say I'm not rabidly anti-soy, I just minimise it. The point is loads of stuff has soy and I don't want to have to cope with eliminating it altogether at a later date through provoking something now. People have been...

I think there is a huge difference between handling cooked goods and actually kneading a dough. I know from my gluten-free baking that it can get under nails, behind a ring and even inside the ring ... (just add food dye) and this is gluten free ... which is a lot less gluey than the real deal. But even with this you can be diligent ... the problem...

ARCHIVED This Celiac Relationship Crisis Thing Is Real!
gfp replied to eleep's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Perhaps but it would be silly to give someone advice on this when not 100%.... Quite a few people like buses. When its a good one it brings social interaction... and you don't have the hassle or expense of maintaining something long term. If it doesn't go to the same place you want you can get off and catch another. My concern is that you both... -

ARCHIVED Food Labels
gfp replied to susiek's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
First off its based on the fact the caramel color is itself not gluten-free but this is then diluted. Its something I find I can stomach a little of ..but not regularly. I'm the same with vodka... i can risk an odd one every so often but if I drink one measure a day for a week it hits me. Strongbow also make 5 other ciders .. I forget which exactly... -

Hey, your definately datable and he knows that too. I know this sounds harsh but you should be telling him this !!! Obviously your doctrate comes first now but since you are so dateable you wouldn't want him loosing interest at the wrong time for want of you telling him what you feel! Like I said all relationships involve two people and when they... -
Lister, I get these as well after glutening. I think its the body getting rid of the toxins.... i got a huge one i drained myself but had to see my GP a day or so later.. course she went ballistic at self surgury (it was right in the middle of my back so it required mirrors LOL), she always does even though she admits my stitching is better than hers. ...
