    tnx for the thoughts ANGEL.... no it is a condition [ CELIAC ] that is an intolerance to Gluten, funny thing is though the other problem she has [ over 18 month's known? " ] did tag the Celiac it was her "own" doctor going through her files that noted the "tag" had not been acted on... the problem of having appointments with anyold tom dick and Harry purporting to be a Doctor!!!!!! my hip was for over 5 years [ started started feeling in 2009 operated 2019 ] just a keep on taking the tablets as was 5 years since saw my own Doctor!!!!!!!!!!

    her other condition started off as MS, got refined to something else is now still after 7 month's waiting to see specialist, has had 3 "attacks since!!!!!! " still dont know what it is!

    Don’t you mean Coeliac

    I have that, it’s not as bad the diet compared to what it was when I was diagnosed, late 90’s early 2000’s. Expensive but it’s more catered for now.
    I do struggle with snacks if I’m out and about. So you need to take stuff with you. ( twix gluten free cookies are lush though)

    Good luck to your GD, there are plenty of support groups that can help and like I said it’s not that bad nowadays. It was horrible but there are a lot of nice foods.

    Once she’s fully on the diet fingers crossed she feels a lot better for it.

    Yes the spelling was a bit deliberate ... but you are correct and thankyou very much for your comments ....... :emoticon-0148-yes::emoticon-0148-yes:
    On my Tuesday night foray, one of the team is /has connections to 2 COELIAC sufferers. One is a doctor who treats his friend. He had a lot of to say about it and some of the problems encountered, but one thing he said was quite enlightening, the diagnosis and days after.
    GD was told 3 month's ago to continue on normal eating plan when it was first tagged. then test and then Monday got result ... positive ......... apparently the doctor explained tp my friends mate that he should not suddenly just go all gluten free, in fact if I understood it correctly not 100% . Part of the statement was that the body has already [ pre diagnosis ] had a "poor? tolerance to it, and the body has been fighting it. cutting out gluten free 100% means the body looses out on it's ability to "fight it????? " and it becomes a more intense battle????? !
    My obvious Q was so does he "ignore" a small amount of gluten product ..daily /weekly/ ???? he said he didnt know but the explantion he was given? / understood? was it might be likely!! but would check with him.
    GD has yet to the dietician but have already started "apping" products for gluten content!

    One in one out deal with the French

    How’s that smashing the gangs or reducing illegal migration ?

    And wait until the lefty lawyers say it’s against the law anyway !

    Starmer and Macron both very unpopular in their respective countries
    Both are inept and on borrowed time as are the economies without radical changes

    One in one out - I think it’s a legal one to replace an illegal one, I think the ideal is to discourage illegals and to encourage legal.

    Presumably if they’re legal they’ll be no need to house them whilst they’re waiting to be processed, and will mean they can work, earn money, and pay taxes. We’ll see.

    50 migrants a week to be returned.
    800 migrants arrive every week.

    Won't make a blind bit of difference to these chancers.

    I’m fine with taking a a genuine refugee
    But for every one of them there are hundreds or thousands that don’t qualify
    They need to go back to one of the many safe countries they went through to get to the El Dorado of the UKs welfare and benefits system
    Even Macron says this, we make it a magnet so we’ve no one to blame but the Government
    If they arrive illegally they should never be allowed to stay much less get money and all the other trappings
    Instead it’s a double whammy
    They get given benefits and a nice hotel, free medical and dental care, then earn hundreds of pounds a week working illegally for the likes of food delivery companies
    The whole system needs taking apart and being made fit for purpose
