happy shopping!

thought I'd share that I only bought Wet n Wild nail polish because it was gluten free, but I am so glad I did!  The Megalast line is great, and when I use the clear nail protector as a base and top coat, along with color, the only reason I have to repaint my nails is because they've grown, not because they've chipped!  this stuff is so much better than the more expensive brands I've used!!

the line is cheap, has a nice selection of colors, and I bought mine at CVS, which was super convenient.  

here's the link to where they state what products are gluten free:

happy saving 

so I bought the latest issue of Gluten-Free Living last weekend, and it had an Inside Autism supplement coupled with it.  I just finished reading Inside Autism, and it was great!!!  Go out and buy it if you're able!  I learned that Dr. Fasano is conducting an extensive study relating to autism and dietary intervention.  Can't wait for those results!  Also in another article there was a quote that stated, "Approximately 90 percent of the brain chemical serotonin is found in the gut."  Celiac gut damage and depression/anxiety link strengthened even more.  There was also a wonderful article regarding a magician teaching children and adults magic tricks.  Read the excerpt below:

Spencer tells the story of teaching a simple magic trick to a 9-year-old-boy in a pediatric department of a hospital.  The child had never spoken a sentence until he asked Spencer a question about a magic trick. "He leaned way into me and looked me right in the eyes and said, 'Where do I put my hands?' I showed him how to hold the rope.  He asked, 'What do I do next?' In 20 minutes, he learned three magic tricks," said Spencer, who had no idea the boy was not an easy communicator.  But the boy's father watched as his child talked to the magician.  "That's the first time in nine years I've ever heard my son speak," the man said to Spencer. "It was really incredible." -Inside Autism Spring 2013

the arts are a powerful asset

so I sent the following e-mail back in April when I had just found out I had a negative biopsy to UCCDC, and wanted to share my questions and the responses I've received.

Questions:

is it possible to include in your FAQ section an answer explaining exactly
what Deamidated gliadin peptides are in layman's terms? I have seen it
written in very scientific terms, but a simple explanation on your website
would be a great addition. thanks for your consideration.

Are raised DGP igG levels thought to be a first sign of early celiac? If it
was only gluten intolerance, your body shouldn't be producing any type of
antibodies, correct? I recently had high DGP igG levels, but a negative
biopsy. Is there any current research being conducted regarding a high DGP
score with a negative ttG score, and if that means you are on your way to
developing full blown celiac disease? thank you.
