It takes time and a lot of learning. Watch for sheet rock dust and spackle, glues and paints they too may contain gluten.Worse comes to worse go to a third world country and eat naturally and see how good you will feel -- Good luck!<br/><br/>

If you like the wet feel rather than dry powder-mix with peroxide for a real cleaning. I am still working on a solution for soap-body, hair and laundry<br/><br/>

If you google the words 'fluoride adverse effects' you'll be amazed. A while back, I started to suspect it might be a problem for me, and sure enough, after avoiding it my MCS symptoms vastly improved. Also, don't eat or use ANYTHING topically that has artificial color as part of its ingredients. For me, food coloring/dyes are a true poison. I suggest you research dyes, as many of them contain gluten, AND many of them are derived from petrochemicals (probably the biggest antagonist to those with MCS). Hope this helps!<br/><br/>

I have spent the last year on an elimination diet after ending up in the ER due to a bad reaction to a thyroid med.  I had blood work for food allergies & we mostly focused on those.  Then when the nutritionist could no longer help me I was referred to an allergist where I thought I would have further testing then get cured by having allergy shots.  My allergist who also specializes in autoimmune disorders, pediatrics and environmental illnesses took one look at me and said I was celiac. Which did come up as an allergy in the blood work and a reactor when reintroduced into my diet. Apparently I have been celiac for over 30 years and due to the damage to my villi I am suffering close to malabsorption at the moment along with severe chemical sensitivity.  I have been feeling quite blue and isolated. Somewhat of an outcast.  A friend suggested I check out blogs and this is the site I found.  Big help - I am not alone after all!!  and it sounds like the doctor is right on track with his findings.  Thanks so much to everyone for sharing!!!<br/><br/>

I was diagnosed with MCS at the Environmental Health Clinic at Women's College in 2002.

I have low iron levels, haemoglobin and ferritin levels, which they say, leaves me with very little bone marrow.

Does anyone have information on MCS-heme and celiac?
