chips

Coeliac disease and gluten intolerance are a big deal if one has the problem as so many do. We have a ggc who is horribly sick to any gluten in her food. Why must wheat flour be in so many foods without reason?

Its wheat, its wheat, very rarely gluten.

No beer either mcem ! (barley)

take him/her saak's posts and tell him/her he/she needs to do more research!!

It is great that there is so much more variety of gf food available in the supermarkets these days, although at a premium. But, of course, checking every label on everyday foods can be time-consuming.
As does cooking from scratch.
Although chips are easy!

Undiagnosed it can cause years of ill-health and other problems.

best ignored I think.

Im definitely a woman (well was the last time I looked) so not sure where that's coming from. I have also done my "research" and gluten is not the big problem here. But its ok if you ignore me Im good with that.

Fad or not, I'm glad it is easier to find gluten-free foods now than it was 5 years ago. Another complication of DD's condition is that she must have a soft diet. The fact that gluten-free pasta is freely available helps greatly.

No beer jalima - no alcohol at all because of her drugs.

Its rarely gluten, its the other products that to mention them there would have to be huge rethink, yes doctors are pretty wrong in this.

As jalima suggested then I'll take saak 's posts to Dd's consultant and tell him that a woman 'who knows all about it' says he's wrong.

You do that, really do. Medics can be very wrong you know, or don't you?

You know nothing at all about my DD's very complicated issues yet seem to want to dish out your blanket, simplistic diagnoses. Arrogant or what????

mcem it does make life very difficult I know.
Luckily my DD has been a lot better since a fairly recent diagnosis but spent years from babyhood blighted by ill-health and no-one seemed to be able to find out why.

Never said i did understand your DD's issues. I feel for you. I said that gluten is not most peoples problem, wheat is. I also said that "gluten" free products are expensive and something that supermarkets cash in on.

Here's a suggestion saak. It might help Jalima and me and many more. Post a few links to your own published research along with details of your qualifications and clinical experience. Add other useful links (which you needn't summarise as we can read and comprehend) and perhaps we'll listen and maybe even admit you have a point. NOT!

good idea!!

It's about common sense not links. However if i do decide to go down the doctors know all in collaboration with what pays link I will surely let you know.

indeed!

Sorry - could you explain your last post to us very simply so that we can understand it?

SAAK, Do tell. Gluten makes ggd very sickly.

I thought this was supposed to be a thread about chips, not a bitch-in about whether or not gluten-free is a fad. That's a whole other ball game!

And to get back to chips - have none of you got an extractor fan? we maybe have them once a month, parboiled then double fried in the wok, in the absence of a chip pan, and they are fantastic, though I say so myself! I wouldn't touch oven chips with a barge pole.

Going by similar rubbish posts on other threads it's way past wine o'clock in the saak household.
I'm off. Line of Duty seems very simple compared to some of these posts!

The beauty of expansion.

To get back to chips of course, In the pan every time.

To get back to mcem's snide remarks... go do one

I assume you are talking about non-coeliac gluten intolerance, SAAK?

Sorry, the thread had returned to chips by the time I posted. As you were.
