My Post Was Changed

Hi,

I posted today the response I got from a Clinique rep about the gluten content of their makeup. Most of the products I use are gluten-free and I was happy and was sharing the list in case others could be helped.

When I came back to the board later, the topic description of my post had been changed to "Most contain wheat." I definitely did not write that, because that's not the info I got. It may or may not be true, but I hate that it's somehow attributed to me, when I have no info to back that up.

For what it's worth, that does seem to be the position of someone who replied to my post, so maybe they were somehow able to overwrite it?

Can you tell me what's happening here?

Thank you for your help and for running these great message boards!

That is very weird, and I have never heard of that happening before. I know for a fact that moderators do not have the option or authority to edit other people's posts. Perhaps other moderators more experienced than me or Scott can chime in on this one.....

That is strange. I'm pretty sure I pinned that particular topic. I remember reading it a couple times and not understanding why it said "most contain wheat" because it didnt seem to go with the original post. :unsure:

I know when I first posted it, it did not say that. You're right -- it doesn't make sense that way. Somehow between the time I posted and it got pinned, it mutated!

In fact, I had trouble coming up with a "description," and ended up with something dumb like "response from Clinique about makeup" And now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that when I first posted, my main topic line was just "Clinique," not "Clinique Products" like it is now. It seems that somehow my post was merged with the one that shows up as a response.

I hope someone can change it because I feel like I'm bashing Clinique when I meant to do the opposite. Thank you for your help!

The only way it could have been changed is if I changed it--and I didn't because I don't do that (I simply don't have time or the inclination). You can edit your own posts so feel free to do so.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By trents · Posted

      @MagsM, It concerns me that your physicians seem to be preoccupied with the concept of "classic celiac disease".  That suggests to me their knowledge of celiac disease may be dated and they don't have a concept yet for the "silent celiac" who doesn't manifest with classic GI symptoms.

      I have copied in a summary of my latest bloodwork from ChatGPT below. My GP will not refer for any further investigation and given that I do not have gastric distress symptoms it doe seem that I do not have classic Celiac but may have some malabsorption issues. I am now considering just going forward with a gluten free regimen and tracking symptoms. I will see the Consultant Otolaryngologist tomorrow and will share these results. I have already ordered the B-Complex and Benfotiamine and will start that regimen soon. Any feedback and your amazing expertise truly appreciated... Key Immunological and Nutritional Findings Test Result Normal Range Interpretation Tissue Transglutaminase IgA.   <0.2 U/mL.      <7.0 =            Negative   Strongly negative — rules out celiac disease Endomysial Antibodies (IgA).    <10                                         Negative   Supports absence of celiac disease Total IgA                                       1.94 g/L            0.65–4.21.   Normal IgG / IgM                                      8.47 / 2.04 g/L                      Normal.      Normal immune status ✅ These results do not indicate immunodeficiency. IgA is sufficient to make celiac testing valid, and IgG/IgM are in normal range. ⚠️ Nutritional / Absorption Concerns TestResultNormal RangeInterpretation Folate (B9)        3.1 ng/mL.          3.1–20.5.       Low-normal — borderline deficient Total Protein.    63 g/L.                 64–83          Slightly low Ferritin.              33 ng/mL.           15–150.        Normal, but low-normal; could reflect depleted stores 📌 This constellation of results suggests possible subtle malabsorption, suboptimal nutrient intake, or a functional GI issue — even in the absence of celiac disease. 🔄 Implications for Ménière’s and Autoimmunity While there's no evidence of classic autoimmune disease or celiac, subtle immune dysregulation and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) cannot be ruled out. Your symptoms and lab pattern could still fit with an immune-mediated or inflammatory trigger for Ménière’s flares. Borderline nutrient deficiencies (folate, protein) may affect inner ear function or neuronal stability, indirectly exacerbating symptoms. Nutrient absorption issues might stem from subclinical GI inflammation, dysbiosis, or food sensitivities. 💬 Suggested Talking Points for Consultant Could a functional immune or inflammatory mechanism be driving Ménière’s in the absence of overt autoimmunity? Does a trial of immunomodulatory therapy (e.g., steroids, antihistamines) make sense if flares persist despite dietary changes? Would referral to a GI specialist or dietitian be appropriate, given borderline folate, protein, and symptom profile? Continue gluten-free diet trial for 4–6 weeks to assess symptomatic improvement, even in absence of celiac serology. Explore possibility of non-IgE food sensitivities or mast cell activation, especially if symptoms are episodic and food-triggered.

      It seems the "fad" diet is working for you.
