    Are not - > A(i)nt .... hmmm The apostrophe is for a contraction???.... where does the I come from.... As was said "There is no I in Team America" "Yes there is" LOL

    Not knocking the diet but it could also be a consequence of following something strict that eliminates CC as well? I personally found food combining (a gluten-free Hay's diet) works for me and people who try say Atkins seem to also respond well but then Atkins is just a Hay's diet with no carbs ?? (In other words it is a Hay's diet by accident).. ...

    Seriously, case in point..... At least back then spaghetti was considered exotic (honestly....) I think the first time I saw spaghetti was Barbara Streisand cooking it and throwing it on the wall. Well, I'd seen the stuff in the Tin with tomato sauce I know that because of the Italian Immigrants it was more common in the US back then but even...

    Then surely the time for testing is when he WANTS to cheat ??? Dr's doing this should be struck off, pure and simple.... We all laugh when House does something like this thinking "Dr.s wouldn't deliberately provoke a condition that may have consequences for the rest of the childs life" yet it happens everyday with Dr's trying to satisfy their...

    Here's a suggested itinerary... Take that sell out Cynthia Kupper and ask how much McDonalds paid her to lie.

    I agree with everyone else.... A gluten-free diet is not in ANY way harmful, you cannot damage yourself being gluten-free .... BUT not being gluten-free you can... Meanwhile you have other worries... perhaps founded, perhaps not? However nothing is stopping you going gluten-free... False +ve serology is rare, false negative biopsy is common ....

    Strange, I have been warning everyone about the CODEX gluten-free for quite a while. Now it's too late it seems suddenly like this is a new topic? As I have repeatedly posted the relevant parts of the CODEX and they have been ignored I don't feel inclined to do it again. The bottom line is the CODEX is written by the food industry (Canada and...

    Nikki, I think its more likely your friend can't help eating cookies and pizza and instead of accepting she has a problem is looking to transfer the 'guilt'.

    This boils down to what is celiac disease vs gluten intolerance vs pre-severe vs .... My theory (which I believe due to its simplicity,personal experience and experience of others here) We all start off with an intolerance, for many we then repair the damage as fast as its done. We get ill, pregnant or just plain older and our bodies repairs...

    At one point I thought I knew quite a bit about Soy Sauce.... Then I fond out how much I didn't know.... If you have a few spare hourse Wikipedia Soy Sauce.... Some have barley and others (mainly non trad have wheat).... but .. back to the topic Obviously fermentation does something.... but what? Also the Soy fermentation is quite different...

    Well, it would be interesting to find out.... My personal thoughts are a mix of self experience, others here etc. One thing I found was that I get neuro symptoms way before gastro when I have trace amounts... Truth be told, I find the neuro symptoms far worse than the gastro so gar as my happyness is concerned. One thing I have done when...

    I'd second this..... Butter subs are usually chemical nightmares.... and usually have a whole load of something bad.... (or taste bland).... If your low-casein (instead of 100% CF) then butter is low in casein, its mainly fat and water! I use gluten-free chicken or veg stock cubes in my rice if I wanna jazz it up.... however although I limit my...

    its not only NORMAL .... Its a sign you are otherwise doing very well!!!!!! Your body is adapting to a life without this Toxin .. Imagine not drinking alcohol for 10 years then drinking a 'normal' amount... Imagine not drinking coffee then having a double strong caffine packed one.... Imagine after years of living in downtown (??LA/NYC?) you move...

    You can be as offended as you like but it will not change the FACTS.... You can believe what you want.... but it will not change facts... You really sound like you are not going to accept the facts but .... I'm going to post the FACTS once, if you want to argue then don't bother ... I am not arguing back. source: Open Original Shared Link 1)...

    One also has to be aware of the difference in: and Our products are tested to make sure they do not contain gluten. Whereby it is a great step forwards to list the sources... and that they do deserve recognition for this they are making a deliberate legal disclaimer here. They are in no way claiming the prducts are gluten-free, they are...

    Lio, As already mentioned.... you should just try and stay away from processed food and buy fresh. Millet and sorghum are gluten-free..... the Guinness made in Nigeria uses millet. there is no need at all to buy special gluten-free food if you can buy your own vegetables and rice...

    I posted an idea a LONG time ago..... There are many sites where you can get printing done.... and VOLUME really makes the cost tiny. If people wanted to club together then you could get t-shirts and awareness cards (call em postcards).... etc. made up for cents Apart from the relative cheapensss of bulk.... it would really help awareness...

    Larry, if your going to do that then I would have suggested you get a full celiac panel before and after .... Do be careful, remember so many side effects are very slow to come on and progressive so we don't notice them. I wish you all the luck but do be vigilant for the warning signs (like getting a nice buzz on a minimal amount of alcohol....) As...

    Sometimes I wish poisoning was not such a serious felony! (except the apparent case of gluten!!!! which can be done with complete immunity) There are times I would just love to load up someones food with laxative!!! Lets do a quick straw poll..... Who would load up a meal with laxative and eat their fair share ... just so the others would actually...

    Well it can be derived from almost any source, animal or vegetable. I would say the important thing is how its derived and how pure it is. Glutamine is not related to gluten except in the way that say water is related to ice-cream. (In a very broad sense).. Ice cream contains milk and milk contains water (just like every vegetable and animal) ...

    Sam, these are my thoughts.... Here in the UK it was a little different because of the rationing during WWII. For distribution reasons etc. many people became accustomed to packaged/tinned etc. It mainly amazes me that people are simply not interested in what they put into their bodies.. to the degree they don't know how spagetti is made or what the...

    This is certainly my primary concern, not that I'm not concerned for Josh ... but there are so many people who will either be. 1) Misinformed by their MD or GI, simply because they have never actually looked at being gluten-free... not for nasty reasons but rather like a judge handing out a sentence... does a judge know what its like to be locked in a Max...

    From WW30's link... From Josh... As I asked earlier, what antibody count and was a full panel done.... Some before and after numbers (and which) would be informative... ELISA is not a 'serious' test, its a screening test. To do this properly a full quantitative test would be used. However, what we come back to is that there is...

    Horedin is different to gluten which is different to avenin. Commercial kits are designed to detect gluten ... some of the ELISA kits will detect horedin as a similar reaction but they are designed to test for gluten. But I have never said differently, check my posts! And I still eat out sometimes and take a risk YET I never say it's OK...

    The problem is not even related to gluten, The problem is that people eat things they have no idea of the ingredients... Personally I find it incredible that anyone would not realise how to make spaghetti or bread or cookies.. Yet there are (presumably) intelligent people out there (with medical degrees) who just stick anything in their mouth without even...
