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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By itsdunerie · Posted

      Dang......did it again and yeah I should admit I am 63 with clumsy phone thumbs. I started feeling better quickly and a doctor a year later said I had to eat  poison (gluten) every day for a month so he could formally diagnose me and NO FREAKING WAY. I couldn't then and can't imagine putting my body through that crap (no pun intended) on purpose ever again.  Why ingest poison for a month to have some doctor say Hey, All you Have To Do Is Never Eat poison Again..

      15 years ago my best friend 'diagnosed' me as Celiac. Her little nephew had been formally diagnosed and her observations of me dealing with brain fog, stomach problems and other stuff had her convincing me to try going gluten free. Oh my heavens, within 3 days, no lie, I felt human again. Took me about a y

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.
