    I have found little correlation with who were good friends and not over who 'get's it' and not. We ALL have bad days! Yes he's worried but he's a guy (like me).... We guy's get all worked up when we feel we can't fix something in those we love. You have been confused (we all start out confused) and passed it on to him. He probably...

    Well... so far we have stimulated topics on : Should gluten free be gluten free ? Should celiacs avoid all gluten or just gluten-lite? Should a QA process be legally enforced? Should the food industry set the limits? or direct the testing ? Plus a lot of conversation on: Most importantly: We have raised a question. Should...

    Nope you are spot on ... Sainsburys plain cooked chicken breasts contain gluten ??? (really) And your spot on .... its not the apples and oranges nor pasta and bread but things that regularly do have gluten ... cooked ham for instance. Its literally thousands of products from stick cubes to grated cheese and rice krispies. In each case the Gluten...

    Open Original Shared Link Could this include double celaic genes ???

    Both figs and prunes are natually infected with candida perhaps this might be a clue?

    Pretty unlikely. It more likely the continued use caused it to overheat.

    Sodium ferrocyanide: Na4Fe(CN)6 hence gluten free. In other words its a sodium/iron cyanide salt. The MDL states:

    This might not help specifically... IMHO there is a world of difference to trying a bud-light once in a while and making a habit of it. I don't disagree that the levels are low; I disagree that consuming low levels over a long time is OK.

    We need both methods..... but they are applicible differently. This is the same for almost all analysis, its the false negative/false positive thing or accurately determine a ppm or presence of. Firstly screening: Screening is a 'quick and dirty' but mostly cheap method. This is something used to control production lines etc. In general...

    This is my #1 guess! I would say using sealed bags is better the best thing is scary but it's really quite simple on a desktop. Make sure its all switched off.... Remove the case (this is the hardest part) carefully use a domestic vacuum - don't touch anything with the tube, just use the tube to suck without touching. use a...

    As others have said: However please read this.... Open Original Shared Link Specifically there is considerable research that finds symptoms that are expressed on MRI related to celiac disease. the good news... Read the work of Hadjivassiliou, these symptoms are usually reversible and almost always stop getting worse on a STRICT gluten-free...

    Actually it's a little worse than this... To sum up the several pages: If a product is naturally gluten free it cannot be labelled gluten free unless: It has a substance usually containing gluten but rendered "gluten free below 20ppm" added. I fully realise this does not make sense ... please don't blame the messenger. Read the document and decide...

    This is the case. For the study the group would eat naturally gluten-free foods. Its pretty easy to get carrots, vegetables etc. especially ones that are wasjed and peeled before eating. When foods are possibly contaminated (say in transit) then they are tested. Testing for zero is not possible but testing to a few parts per billion...

    I'm happy we actually agree on so much. I am also very glad we can discuss.... What I really hate is chopping up people's posts ... but I fear I may do a little of that in order to answer We are really going back to a definition of Celiac disease here or at least the definitions through the 20C and our part of the 21C. If we skip over the history...

    Gemini: Can you show me evidence that injecting gluten does no damage?
  16. gfp
    Richard, I really have no wish to argue over either spelling nor moot points. There are plenty of posts on this board where people have written to manufacturers regarding different distilled beverages and received either a negative or "we don't know". The provenance of these beverages is again moot, the US is not known for producing any distilled...

    I think you hit it on the head .... Why ???? There are numerous reasonbs not to .... including provoking a rection to something or developing a condistion that is not reversible. Although these are rare it seems like rolling the dice purely for the sake of it?
  18. gfp
    Well - minus the size... I agree... there is plenty of damage can be done without even having a intestinal reaction. Dogs are IMHO more problematic than cats... since they are much messier eaters... This is especially true for treats since they seem to love throwing them about, crunching etc. Try as you might you'll never get a dog to eat...

    No prob.... the point is these are valid questions to ask of someone who has become a self-appointed spokesperson ... As you said earlier, everyone should make up there own mind ... based on the evidence. They don't need (or perhaps spme do) someone defining 'acceptable risks' on their behalf. Cynthia .. Welcome to this community... I'm off to work...

    Actually the directory lists products from companies that PAY which the companies say are gluten-free. CUK does no checking ... or verification however they have trademarked the gluten-free symbol so that companies can't use it without paying. oops forgot to say..... You need to check labels at ALL levels.... don't rely on one.. check all the small...

    Actually according to the CODEX Alimentarius real coffee CANNOT be labelled gluten free whereas this can if it is <20ppm gluten. If you read it carefully a banana or coffee cannot be labelled gluten-free UNLESS they add a gluten source which has been rendered gluten-free meaning <20ppm. Secondly the protein in barley is not actually gluten (s...

    I think you need to reread what I wrote as you misquoted me while talking about CUK. Here is what I wrote: So questions: I think these are reason able questions for someone who is claiming to speak on behalf of others. So are you diagosed celiac ? ( A simple yes or no answer) So who elected you? (Who are you speaking on behalf of?...

    Those are people being sarcastic to long term friends.... Try and look at it like that.... many of us have long histories here and we have known the person we are having a friendly saractic comment with for years.... Unfortunately people then get upset on their behalf...

    Its doubtful, there is a small bush in my garden has done more for celiac then Cynthia Kupper. Just doing nothing at all is better than actively endorsing the idea that certain unsafe things are safe. Just who is she .... what does Cynthia Kupper, RD, celiac disease mean (what is RD or celiac disease) In what way is she qualified to make statements...

    Of course or you could use poison ivy ....
