herika - well that really surprises me and it is questionable because of the volume of sugar in it(6 cups). My Dad is diabetic and no way could he have it, most diabetics use a minimal amount of a sugar substitute

letto - 2008-12-07 18:43:00

#222 - I always keep mine in the freezer until I need to use it as experience has taught me that anything with gluten free flour in it tends to go hard the next day. If you just want one or two slices just cut that amount from the cake in the freezer

I was led to believe that coeliac was an immune response. I found this quote from the coeilac society of NSW "In people with coeliac disease, the body has an
immune (allergic) reaction to gluten." But then I am no doctor, and didn't think coeliac was an allergy, but it must be if the body re-acts to gluten like it does in coeliac.

Coeliac Disease It is a medical condition in which there is permanent intolernace to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, triticale and dinkle. Oats contain a similar kind of protein. When gluten is consumed by people with coeliacs disease it damages the lining of the small intestine. The lining of the small intestine normally has finger like propjections called villi which assist in the absorption of nutrients. In people with coeliacs disease there is partila or complete loss of these villi. This decreases their ability to absorp foods properly. If the affected person removes gluten from their diet then the villi will regrow and normal health will resume. If gluten is reintroduced to the diet again then the villi will become damaged that is why coeliacs MUST stay on a gluten free diet for the rest of their lives

nanee2jlp - 2009-01-07 21:25:00

Symptoms of Coeliac Disease Adults may have diarrhoea, Tiredness, Anaemia, Weight Loss, Abdominal bloating, Excess Wind, Depression, Osteoporosis and dermatitis Herpetiformis, a condition resulting in a blistering, itchy skin rash that can be easily treated by going gluten free.

nanee2jlp - 2009-01-07 21:29:00

Management of Coeliacs Disease Can be successfully treated and managed by a gluten free diet.
On this diet health returns to normal but a strict gluten free diet must be adhered to for life. Coeliacs have different levels of intolerance and there may be some people who are super sensitive to gluten whilest others may be able to tolerate small amounts eg oats.
