    Developing the symptoms is not the same as getting sick overnight. You have been eating gluten for years... it has built up and your body fights against it. The young body repaces villi quickly so they were being destroyed and then regrowing in a constant battle until you got flu and this distracted your bodies defenses and regeneration and the destroying...

    I think this might have bearing, people who have eaten large amounts of gluten all their life seem to take longer to recover and some never do. I actually do rotation diet and food combining when I get really bad and indeed this was my first suspicion of wheat years ago before diagnosis and before my mother was diagnosed and is what led to her being...

    Thanks both of you.... edits: Sorry rest is cut to comply with board rules

    Buckwheat crepes (french pancakes) seem to keep me full forever. I do fiund buckwheat a bit heavy and sometimes a bit of indigestion but perhaps this is what makes em keep you full so long. To make the batter just add water and salt to buckwheat flour until its the same sort of consituency as regular batter you can also add an egg, add more flour...

    For a mustard fan like you I found this Open Original Shared Link Lots of recipees, the history etc. etc. enjoy! I'll be trying a few myself.

    Wow, I take that back, their website is an example of misleading marketing. There is only one thing you need to know about coffee and that is the bean types used. After that the different growing areas make different tastes and subtle flavors but Starbucks manages never to disclose what beans it is using. They even add misdirection like calling...

    Nestle own nescafe and several brands. At one point the 'gold blend' brand did so well they had to spend money knocking it on the nescafe normal ... LOL. However Im not sure Starbucks really do marketing... I think the description of methodolgy is closer. The methodology seems to be simply to remove customer choice ... no need to advertise or market...

    If you can buy a real Dijon mustard then it has to be 100% gluten-free. It is a protected appelation d'origin and the name has international trademark status. However international trade agreements seem about as enforcable as any other part of international law and dijon style etc. are common. If you are willing to pay a little extra then Maille is...

    Its hard to say without knowing who the others are... If these are your kids then heck, just put your foot down. If you are sharing a kitchen for other reasons then its more difficult. The reality is you will always get cross contamination in a non-gluten-free kitchen, its just a matter of time but you can obviously swing luck in your favor. The...

    Sorry but I think you will find the answer inside yourself. Firstly I think you might need the help of your family and to do this you need to tell them you have been cheating. Gluten is addictive as you know and breaking it can be as hard as any drug. What I would recommend, especailly in summer is to drop the gluten-substitute foods like gluten...

    I read the same study, its simply as they said the studied a whole load of kids and when they were introduced gluten in the diet and found a lower incidence at age 5 than those who were introduced it later. However this is a very preliminary study, it doesn't say why it just shows the stats. Now it might be (I'm speculating here) that mothers who...

    You are not the only one confused.... It all hinges on the definition of celaics disease. Prior ro the 50's celaics was non specific and basically referred to people who were ill when they ate wheat, barley, rye etc. Then they invented a new endoscope that wnet into the intestine and they saw damaged villi and decided that was the cause. Today...

    In an attempt to lighten this up serendipity gave me this Open Original Shared Link It seems heart patients can either eat rat poision (warfarin) OR drugs derived from GM modified goats Obviously the warfarin is vegan and the GM modified goats milk isn't...

    The reasons for taking immodium are two fold. Firstly it stops D like any opiate and secondly it binds to the stomachs endorphin receptors. There is a lot of research showing that gluten and casein can acts as 'exorphins' which is to say they bind to the bodies endorphin receptors exactly like opiates such as immodium, coedine, morphine and heroine...

    Ooops.. exactly what I was going to say.... And the fact someone is breastfed and develops celaic has no relevance whatsover... noone is saying breasfeeding precludes celiac simpy that it reduces the chance of developing it. You can its is natural mutation. You either believe in genes or not, if you do then mutation of genes is an everyday occurence...

    exactly... The original issue was why a nutritionist would suggest adding meat to a diet for someone with celiac problems. I would imagine that the primary reason for this is the nutritionist beleives that they are not getting enough protein to maintain a positive nitrogen balance. So we have a vegetarian, trying to gain body mass who is lactose...
  18. gfp
    I agree on both counts, and education is the key. Indeed if you check all my posts I have never said vegetarianism is unhealthy as has been claimed all i have ever said is that without advanced dietry knowledge and very careful planning it has an increased opportunity to provide an unbalanced diet and that without this advanced knowledge and research it...

    I would hesitate a guess that this will be used in his peer reviewed paper to show the effectiveness of the enterolab testing vs other methods. The problem with clinical trials is they take so long... so if the entrolab catches and early diagnosis which is IgA and IgG negative then the test becomes validated when this person's celiac disease continues...

    Actually asians eat little soy in thier traditional diets and this is mostly fermented see: Open Original Shared Link And on breast cancer, I'm not sure of the actual stats on early phase breast cancer but on cancer recovery France has one of the best medical systems in the world. Its expensive, but all cancer medication, ops etc. are free (well courtousy...

    Many of the vodka mixer drinks are not actually made with vodka but just the fermented mash since they would only add water later anyway.

    Further this assumaes that the proteins in those are actually complete in terms of the human bodies requirements for amino acids. Open Original Shared Link The first thing to notice is that the protein requirements depend on the type of protein and that protein deficiency is a simple thing to test. However the crux is that much of the vegetable...

    Technically speaking there is no such thing as distilled alcohol only distilled alcohol, water mix. Pure alcohol can only be obtained by taking this mix and passing it through a drying agent, usually concentrated sulfuric acid. See Open Original Shared Link

    Indeed but the mash for spirits is a complex system. Even a pure alcohol/water mixture is azeotropic so you will never get 100% alcohol since the partial pressures of the two end points are both lower than the two together. The mash is far more complex and contains many other products from the original ingredients AND breakdown products of the yeasts...

    Its not a conspiracy theory that McDonalds lie about their ingredients, it is a matter of court record. All I am expressing is "are they the sort of company you want to trust" and as I said earlier that is an individual matter everyone can decide for themselves. I find it surprising that poeople have not read of the previous cases (like the one...
