Well the other way is cut out everything right at the beginning and then slowly introduce? I think summer is perhaps the easiest time to do this if you decide. One reason is that the casein allergy and lactose intolerance can both be exasperated by the gluten and damaged villi and many people find they can add limited amounts back after a while. ...

ARCHIVED Food Labels
gfp replied to susiek's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The companies that lie directly and knowingly are probably very few but there are quite a few whom deliberately prevent themselves from finding out and rely on plausible deniability. Other's tend to rely on vague definitions of gluten free etc. I don't think most of them are a problem as one-offs ... in some cases CC can be a specific batch and in... -
ARCHIVED New Member - Long Standing Cs (long Post)
gfp replied to RKB-MD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I can go a but further (and we discussed these things before at length ) but all my intolerances dissapear or are much less pronounced gluten-free. Of all things I have a allergy to lavendar (kinda ironic) and geraniums. A drop of perfume with lavendar oil will bring me out in a huge rash when glutened and pre gluten-free ... but when gluten-free i... -
mmmmm I like a bit of tarragon as well. Another way I season which is kinda lazy is put the herbs (garlic of you wish) in a cup with some butter and micro till its just soft enough (or leave butter out) and then cut the skin and stuff the seasoning inside. If you use butter or oil for this it tends to self baste (hence lazyness) and usually since...

gfp replied to RKB-MD's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Sorry you're right, I was really countering that against the IMHO silly statement that patients with IBS show no reposnse higher than placebo on gluten-free diets. I hope you recover fully, my mother took a lot longer than me, I think that the longer you eat gluten the longer the repair process and in the really unlucky ... (well lets hope that's not you... -

Russ, I just wanted to extend the welcome here: I have to say your story sounds exceptional in that you are an MD ready to accept. (i deliberatly left that open as in page left intentionally blank) We have had a few MD's and a few have left ... largely down to (IMHO) making statements like "Do you seriously beleive 1 crumb can hurt you" and... -
ARCHIVED This Celiac Relationship Crisis Thing Is Real!
gfp replied to eleep's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think like fiddle-faddle that if both your ex and your friend are saying the same things then its likely got some substance. I don't really see it as bad she waited 2 years... perhaps she thought this was the soonest you could take it. Perhaps you had a need for someone who would listen and say "aha" ... and she thought that was what you needed... -
ARCHIVED Weird Question
gfp replied to flxmanning's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Its not weird its perfectly normal. Its called withdrawal and its no different from someone quiting smoking and craving these foods. -
ARCHIVED Do You Ever Just Want To Try It Again?
gfp replied to KayJay's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think this goes through phases. We start off and often have doubts and sometiomes a rocky start ... then we hit a honeymoon period, we suddenly discover howe ill we were and discover illnesses dissapearing we didn't think we had, they had crept up so slowly and we thought everyone was like that... After a while we clean ourselves out and we have... -
Its already been said very well by the previous 2 posters, chill out, its gets much easier. What you have is an affirmation ... your doubts Miso is available in a variety of non gluten types as well, including cycad miso or meri, used extensively by Japanese bhuddist monks. but also sobamugi fropm buckwheat (not a gluten) taima, hempseed (should...

ARCHIVED Gluten Free Cat Food
gfp replied to lindalee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Many commercial cat foods are laced with addictive items for cats... which explains the eating to vomiting. If they weren't most cats would not eat when expected or catch their own food etc. and not choose the right bowl in 9/10 cat's preferred it tests -

gfp replied to hineini's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I find withdrawal as bad as the glutening in many ways. You could try keeping it ticking over with a nibble in the morning etc. -
ARCHIVED Think Ds Got Glutened...first Time...anything I Can Give Him?
gfp replied to wolfie's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I'm all for hugs However also respect his space, some of us get a bit funny about being touched or too much attention when glutened. My fav comfort food is homemade chicken soup with cabbage, leek and celery gradually getting thicker over 3 days. -
ARCHIVED Husband Questioning Enterolab Results For Dd
gfp replied to Nantzie's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Just in general I would take a hard stance anyway that health is NOT debatable. Secondly you can't debate it unless they have the background knowledge and it sounds like they are unlikely to read up .... Thirdly congrats with Dr. -
ARCHIVED After Three Years, I Need Some Outside Help
gfp replied to a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Just a compromise suggestion.... How about going out for romantic picnic's. You prepare the food, its risk free, its summer I can see where both of you are coming from and honestly it can be very scary to eat out somewhere you have little confidence in. Also make 101% sure ... if he gets ill after PF changs then you are really going to find it... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Cat Food
gfp replied to lindalee's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Other than making sure you change slowly I think any cat is better off on an all meat diet, its just not equiped to digest anything else. Human, dogs and pigs are all omniverous and have problems with gluten, pigs also have a disease very similar to celiac disease with soy protein, of course there is far more money avaialble to research this than celiac... -
Regardless of what others have said for this particular manufacturer I think you are very wise to question everything. Im always naturally suspicious of "natural flavoring" but obviously so many veterans here giving it the OK on Pace it must be. so no panic there. In general though the problem I have is exactly what you say... you know you got...

ARCHIVED How Much Gluten Before Blood Test? Please Help!
gfp replied to hineini's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
First off many of us don't recognise a huge difference with the amount of gluten we eat. My reaction is no different from a crumb to a pizza. If you are going to do the test then I would want to make sure it is accurate. As for the tests, if you get a full panel it is VERY accurate if positive. The only doubt is something like 2% of positives don... -
Cat's can be really fussy so I see your problem for 2 weeks. If its wet food its less of a problem IMHO than the dry food but its still a risk. You could try making something or switch to a gluten-free one.. a lot depends on how varied the cats diet is already. If its wet food then if it eats a few brands you might find one gluten-free, if...

Better to ask Scott first.... might be legal reasons why not. They don't need to be good legal reasons to cause a lot of hassle and shut down the board just potentially expensive ones. However you can get webspace hosted elsewhere than the US really cheaply and easily. ($5/mon) or if anyone wanted you could use my server which is in France.

ARCHIVED Why Don't People 'get It'?
gfp replied to floridanative's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I think that just confirms your suspicions. The reason is probably because you were the one went to the Dr's with her and she is embarassed but the way she is dealing with it is obviously deeply inapproapriate. You presently represent sucess in everything she has failed at. It is very sad that she can't accept this and I can understand why you... -
ARCHIVED Gazpacho
gfp replied to kimjoy24's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is quite funny... one of the sites on my Paris Gluten free site has a great gazpacho so I asked of he could make one specially for me ... he said it was OK and I was "but...." then worked out I was actually arguing with him about doing it right .... and adding bread crumbs...???? What was i thinking? We actually argue and tease all the time so its not... -

I would just like to point out I am most definately NOT Marjorie Gyurus even if she lists the exact same things and reasons and arguaments, its simply common sense. On the other hand the blog owner is just a self appointed ignorant busybody. She should probably (or maybe does) work for CUK. Really... forget for the moment the possibility (yet... -
ARCHIVED Why Don't People 'get It'?
gfp replied to floridanative's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I know that but if she wants to take it the wrong way she will. I'm not saying you were wrong, I'm just trying to put it in a different perspective that you can't see from because you are in the middle. Other than that I think tarnalberry is also correct in that people are trying, they just don't know what to do.
