Hi GI friends think about this, next time you clean your teeth and pop brush back into same holder as other family members who are gluten eaters. Or horror of horrors, kiss your loved ones after they have finished eating gluten food. Extreme maybe for some, who woud be termed low GI sufferers, but for me I have no choice, but to lift my awareness of areas of gluten infection, or be sick again and again..
Oh happy days, can be if were careful. bye Isi

gluten free easter time behind us
By now Easter is well behind us as we power on to the next reason to celebrate or another religious occasion. Really macabre how our need to accentuate a special time of year is always with food.
Well take Easter for example, right around the globe chocolate factories would have been in seventh heaven, as would bakers of hot cross buns. But not the waists of those indulging in these Easter treats.
Right about now is when we Gluten Intolerant/Celiac sufferers stand away from incredible weight gain by our gluten wheat brethren. And all accrued over a period of only two days. Sure we can try and make our own buns and carefully source a chocolate that is guaranteed not to be made on equipment that may have been contaminated by wheat/gluten
This is really why we GI people should raise our glasses to what was once thought of an adversary but now is the reason why we can stand on the scales after Easter without shrinking back in horror.
Next time you’re shopping check out the waistlines of others in check out queue. In my estimation most of weight gain around the world is due to abuse of easy/ cheap food found in carbohydrates like glutenous breads.
We all remember what that glutinous bread used to taste like don’t we. Really yummy and how different our GF breads are in taste no matter how hard we all try to reach that same taste in gluten bread. I bit like when pursuing a really healthy eating we no longer have that yummy taste factor when cooking free of oil.
Bottom line is choice big time, although due to feeling sick we are made to walk the straight gluten free pathway whether we want to or not . The really GOOD news and one of the fringe benefits no doubt, is a thinner waist line than our gluten eating friends.

Gluten allergy symptoms
Winters coming down south in Oz land, so usually this is the season for increased visits to GP’s with sore throats etc.
Okay for most I suppose, but what about we GI people. Bad enough feeling as if a bus hit you, blocked up everything, along with a really worrying cough (usually the main reason for antibiotics) > But if you carry GI there’s a fair chance that you could be ingesting Gluten along with it. Low grade is how its rated but anyone who carries a “vigorous “ strong allergy, rather than a “pussycat one” weak, will now be feeling nauseous as well as an all to familiar pain grips your torso.
And certainly an increased weakness though out the entire body. In this case the cure seems worse than the complaint.
This is the reason I’ve researched this problem and tried to come up with a list of antibiotics that ARE gluten free. And will be found on my web site gluten free exposed.
It’s a sixteen-week course and the list will be seen at the six-week mark. Pretty comprehensible too. Bye for now Isi.

What is the difference between celiac & gluten free?
Hi okay bet there are many reading this who are at a loss to understand what is the difference between the two.
First off not much I THINK, other than a certain snob effect I’ve noticed when touring around forums run by Coeliacs.
Perhaps its because the word Celiac originated from Greek language and means Abdominal Wall.
Celiacs are known to say that their allergy is to wheat not gluten. My mind boggles at such talk I mean, it’s simply impossible to have one without the other. The protein in wheat is called ‘gliadin aprolamin’ the Gluten protein factor.
The coeliacs may say that they can separate the two allowing them to eat wheat free of gluten. I DON’T THINK SO due to the contamination factor.
Speaking for myself I’ve fallen sick many times directly due to this contamination factor. Are we really meant to believe that grains are handled in same way as they are in a micro lab, white coats and all
