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.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
