Back to the programme-
no, Steve Shaw, we didn't know what pasta we were eating- it was a blind trial, as explained in the programme.
However because of the symptoms one of the pastas gave me, I was pretty sure I knew- and the same for some of the others.

This in no way negates the results, which as I say gave a statistically significant correlation between symptoms recorded and presence of gluten in the diet. You don't seem to accept (or you didn't hear?) this as genuine evidence; blood test results are not the only proof of a genuine condition.

This was a properly controlled study run by the University of Worcester, and the results will be peer reviewed and published.
