    If you continue you can easily end up quitting everything ? However I try not to eat gluten-free breads because they are too easy and so its easy to rely/fallback. I think tuna is something to just not rely on ... its something I eat infrequently .. I think a big problem with being gluten-free is we tend to find our own little safe foods and concentrate...

    I pretty much try especially since I see falling back on safe staples an inherent problem for being gluten-free ... Its all too easy to find a food that you buy in a given situation and end up falling back on it all the time... I'm particualry careful with soya, I don't not eat it but I am really careful about slipping into a dependance etc. and tend...

    My probs started with typhiod and my stomach just never got better .. it took my a year to discover it awas gluten (living in Africa made it easier because I ate only fresh food) ... and 3 years after that to actually admit to myself it was probably coeliac and get tested. However Im sure i already had it 20/20 hindsight is wonderful! Now I look back...

    My mum had 6 months with only a small improvement and then finally got really serious, stopped giving the dog buscuits and taking risks ... her improvement after was much faster. I don't know if it was once the villi are a bit better and you adsorb better nutrients it will accelerate OR cutting out possible contamination like others have said or a bit...

    Like tarnalberry says fresh tomatoes, cucumber etc. health wise and you can add fresh basil etc. or cilantro. If you want a bit of oil then just soak basil and garlic in olive oil in a little pot and keep it in the fridge, you can top it up ... Im currently trying to loose a few pounds so its off for me right now but its really nice and you can make...

    The problem with franchises is the variability of management. There is a really good chain in the UK called "La Tasca" and they have a gluten-free menu and only things made centrally and sent in are on the list to avoid CC ... for instance you can get the bite sized paella but not the full size which is made on the premises... even though the recipee...

    LOL ... I just spilt my coffee (seriously) ... but yeah it goes from bonus to fly in my soup time. "Waiter waiter theirs an onion ring in my fries ...." (prize for best reply (an onion ring by post))

    Yep and I can quote all the science I want but it doesn't change this fact indeed a fundamental precept is Occam's razor .. the simplest explanation is usually true... Considering I react (sometimes), you do and several others there must be something in the grain vodka... My explanation might not be correct, because basically there are so many unknowns...

    i wish more people do this .. to be honest many places try and fail and we don't go back (me included sometimes) to complain, I just strike it off the list. Where I have gone back it can only usually go two ways .. htey don't get it (strike em off) or they are apologetic and from then on things are way better and i certainly don't mind waiting to be safe...

    I guess like everything else everyone has different tolerances. i actually have a vodka myself from time to time (like 1-2 a year) and sometimes im ill and sometimes not but on the whole i stick it on the bad list. The thing is yes its a definate maybee What I object to is blanket statements ... unless someone can actually prove it because...

    Pretty much .. the important word is assume because in my book its better not to take a risk until you are sure. There is a difference with CC because its something you perhaps risk from time to time and you can assess the risks each and everytime (though fast food by its nature tends to remove the time to think it over fully, especially when your hungry...

    My girlfriend's best UNI friend is Belgian (the main stay of French jokes if you call them jokes), blonde and Jewish... and she is the person she calls everytime to explain something to her, a natural brunette! However lucky she also has a sense of humor or it would be almost impossible to to tell any joke in her presence! edits: had to...

    I don't think its just the US by a long long way.... However I do think there is a worldwide movement of promoting stupidity as chic. In the UK there was a TV scientist called Michael Ball who did really good kids shows. He has a daughter called Zoe .. who was (and maybe still is) a radio 1 DJ and I used to listen on my way to work. I remember...

    I will bold some terms for google or wikipedia. (I recommend wikipedia but I am not checking each term is defined so fall back to google) ... the fact remains many people get sick from grain distilled alcohol. The simple answer is water doesn't boil at 100C at stp ... it averages 100C. Some molecules come of earlier and some come of later depending...

    As someone else said the other day... to paraphrase My mother loves me very much but still thinks the CC issue is OTT and can't cope what hope has a server working in a burger joint on 12 hour shifts on minimum wage?

    Size isn't an issue the SLHE is the issue but since this is a multiphase azeotropic mix I don't see how you can make (and keep making) statements based on 19C science. Predicting the eutectic for gliadins and partial chains in the solution is simply not possible as the partial pressure changes.

    The weird thing is many of them are not.... I did my undergrad with a guy who could tell you the result of any football game from 4 leagues for the last 15 years AND who scored and when. He could do the same with hundreds of films down to times in minutes when someone enters/exists stage.... Could he get physics ? Not in the slightest... but Im sure...

    Well and partly in reference to another of your posts... My gluten-free was at Uni in the UK last year and shared a house with 14 people .. a few moved in and out but basically of the 14 only 3 could actually cook anything from scratch .. I don't mean making your own pasta or chutney (must check the pot soon) but I mean making a bolognaise sauce or chilli...

    With the exception of calling mobiles all calls for me are free to France, Europe, US and Canada (including mobiles) with my internet connection. €30 a month ... and the website is hosted on it as well oh and free cable TV 100+ channels as well. So things are changing, 5 yrs ago Noos charged €35 just for 6 channels and 1/2 Mbit internet, now I have 22M...

    Have you started taking suppliments with the training? Hair loss is also a common symptoms of poisioning by trace elements or too much vitamins? Either way since you are mentioning celiac like symptoms iron inparticular causes D and attacks and degredes the lining of the stomach and digestive tract. If you are on a healthy diet then multi-vits...

    Very poignant ... I think that sums it up perfectly.

    Well they make one with wholegrain heat in it so I guess that is out! Well I see what he means they sell all sorts of new age crap like crystals as well. Its hgard to take someone seriously that claims putting a crystal in your house is going to give you health benfits not to mention the all too frequent claim "but its organic wheat so it won't make...

    There is plenty of evidence .. perhaps the best place to look is the standard toxology sheets used in labs. There is only 1 natural pre-transuaranic element that has no known function in the human body and that is mercury. Everything else is a delicate balance between a fatal dose and a healthy dose. Some minerals/trace elements are worlds apart.....

    That might not be a bad thing, think of it like adding antiseptic to a cut. If you add antiseptic and it stings its because its killing the germs.... If your stomach is full of bad bacteria then it makes sense it would be a bit upset and hurt while they wage thier little war?

    Sorry for injecting humor, I actually agree, its just I keep having flashbacks to the Seinfeld episode where Elaine tries getting the Dr. to see her and end up having her medical records passed from Dr. to Dr.
