  1. Yep people seem OK about eating live yeasts or "good bacteria" .... but worms seems ??
  2. I was once watching some silly TV prog with a chinese acrobat/dancer on some sort of search for a star. The presenters did the whole congrats then said "Oh but we westerners can't bend like this because we are less flexible" and she just laughed and said "no because you drink milk" - quick cut to commercials....
  3. I guess we do it all the time without realising anyway but washing it down with gatorade must invoke some gag response? However overall I have always classed celiac disease not as a weak immune system but the exact opposite, an over aggressive one. I spent my childhood eating "properly dead" meat ... cooked through to a crisp and plastic cheeses and...
  4. It goes one step further. The endorphin receptors that opiates attach to can be damaged by the gluten because it doesn't fit properly hence the bodies own mood regulators, the endorphins cannot attach. When you were eating gluten all the time the effect creeps up over years so it feels normal ... whereas when someone has been gluten free and...
  5. Souds great but just to make everyone laugh, I suffer from dyslexia and I originally read The Best mouse recipe Ever! edit: sorry quoted instead of bold
  6. The first thing is you didn't do anything wrong! You are still learning ... I would say so... its better to get completely rid of previous gluten you might have still in your system. I've found that no matter how careful you are with educating the restaurant, there is always a risk of cross contamination... You can either choose to not...
  7. Hey just go mild on the seasoning ... As a base just use some coriander seed and cumin seeds and a pinch of celery salt. Compensate with a bit more tomato and garlic .... Same goes for salsa .. just add less chilli if your stomach is delicate. I usually use tinned tomatoes, some coriander, cumin, lime-juice and some roasted peppers with the skin...
  8. Your girlfriend is proably just trying to be helpful and get you out? At this stage of your gluten-free journey and all the confusion right now I'd probably say "Its really sweet but I need to just sort this out right now"
  9. Yep but the problem is the change in when you wake up.... the body adjusts poorly to changing these cycles, some people worse than others which is why some people don't get much effect from Jetlag and others do... You stated in your first post you had slept 10hrs which seems excessive. If you are regularly getting 6 1/2 then that is what your body...
  10. The basic premise of "all inclusive" always seems to me to be providing the minimum possible. I used to travel though Tunisia when I worked in Libya (due to the air embargo) and I was often put up in all-inclusive hotels overnight. My experiences were all bad, even not being on the all-inclusive rate and my company paying normal rates... and the people...
  11. Buckwheat: well its quite a heavy 'grain' even though its not really a grain but other than contamination is 100% gluten-free. However, as a starter and since you have damaged villi it might not be a bad thing to avoid until they are starting to heal. Basically on grain distilled alcohol, many people do react, I do for one and again distilled alcohol...
  12. Obviously the problem is exasperated by panic and having the epipen as a backup would ease that, even if you never use it just having it there is going to let you know you have a fallback. My experience, and it seems that of others is other allergies are directly related to gluten etc. I have allergic reactions to something in perfumes ... lavender...
  13. Lister, this sounds like a very normal case of work induced insomnia, add to that your worries about celiac at the moment and its hardly surprising you are having problems sleeping and feeling tired. What you are meant to do is get up at the same time each day regardless ... which is I know easier said than done and "too much work and no play makes Lister...
  14. Sounds like you are trying to sleep too much. The trick is to get up at a pre-determined hour everyday and regualate to that not try and catch up.. you can't store sleep as it were so 10 hrs last night means you slept badly, poor quality sleep. I have problems myself but it takes recognising this fact to get over it. Its no miracle cure but if you get...
  15. Open Original Shared Link ...
  16. Exactly, the body only has two responses to lacking nutrients one is the longer term feeling of missing something and the other is a more regualr pang response. Both of these are actually part of many physically addictive drugs effects like caffine and tobacco which is why to an extent they work as appetite supressants. They don't really we just get tricked...
  17. Many of us get this ... we call it "brain-fog" or similar but no Dr. seems to beleive it.... For me its almost like I'm on remote control except every so often my body does something I didn't tell it to do... like the RC batteries are on the way out. For me its not so much out-of-body as in-body/out-of-body... I don't look down from the ceiling or anything...
  18. Haven't been to Peru but I have been to Venezuela and Columbia. It all depends what you eat when you are there. If you buy and cook your own food then no problems but eating in local places is risky. Vietnam: Well they seem to have kept the French pencant for croissants and pastries. I haven't been back since diagnosis but I would say language...
  19. The evidence to the contrary is it seems some of us do react to grain based alcohols, myself included. The breakdown part... is open to speculation ....fermentation is a pretty complex process. As I understand it is only a small part of the protein sequence that triggers the autoimmune response. So basically we have a huge gap in the fermentation...
  20. I also react to grain based alcohol ... I have posted my theories here but if people care to beleive or not is up to them, I realise the wieght of medical opinion is that they are OK ... however I and others than Annette also react. However on alcohol in general its certainly an irritant and not the best but unlike Annette Im OK with good red wine. ...
  21. Actually good question.... I don't know what goes into the waterproof coating on paper plates but I wouldn't be that surprised if it did contain gluten. Sometimes it just seems like the world is out to get us.... I think you would be OK but I can't promise!
  22. Its just my opinion but he's trying to kick gluten, cigarettes already and cigarettes contain gluten so the two are linked. The problem with many of the websites is they just have one purpose. For instance: "And 60 percent of youngsters who use marijuana before they turn 15 later go on to use cocaine." This doesn't really say much? Try it once?...
  23. This is just my personal theory, as yet I guess nooone has thought to analyse those nodules... my bet is they contain gluten but hey... Im just a sufferer. Seems rather unlikely, indeed there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. Noone seems to have decided and after various governments spending time and money trying to prove harmful effects (outside...
  24. You want to get something like rice-cakes which will adsorb excess acid and help the feeling you need to eat. You can also eat peeled carrots or other crudites... if you need to eat then it sounds like you should just choose something not going to challenge your guts too much. Since you enjoy your salads then why not just have the salad, there is no rule...
