Thanks for all the mail :-)

Here's another question for you all...."What is the difference between
Celiacs and just an allergy?"

My Questions were

1. Where can I get Xanthum gum in Australia?

2. Is there a cure?

Summary

Lots of people told me where I could get Xanthum gum in the United
States. (Which will come in helpful when I visit there this year) But I
guess I can always buy some and have it shipped to Australia - it will
be the most expensive bread ever made!

No-one told me of a place that sells it in Australia.

People also suggested to use twice the amount of  guar gum.

Some-one suggested to use twice the amount of plain gelatine, which is
also cheaper.

As for the cure....

No hope.... unless I have an allergy, which is apparently different -
how? I don't know.

Some-one suggested an alternative medical science.

I was also severely warned by numerous people to stick to my diet or I
would end up even sicker! Just to let you know - it is too painful to
eat gluten for me to go off the diet, even though I really want too!


Thanks again,

-Marie
