For five days I have had the classic D, and lower back pain is comming back. I am fairly confident it is not a food issue as I have been really careful and check with the Delfi List often.

I think it is in the cosmetics. This is what I use daily:

Oil of Olay Soap

Dove Sampoo

Lubridurm Cream (no oats)

Crest

Clinique Lipstick and Burt's Bees

Cover Girl Blush (I try to be careful as don't know if it is gluten-free)

Aleve for headaches

Mac and Bare Essentials are not available any where close. We cook on the grill alot and only use 100% hardwood charcoal. I can't think of anything else new to my diet other than Ragu Pizza Sauce with eggplant and onions (as a side dish, no crust obviously).

Does anything ring a bell for anyone.

**Could it be the Clinique Lipstick? If so are they any CVS brands that are gluten-free?

Thanks for your help. Lisa

I feel like I am playing a game show. Ok thanks for joining us for this eppisode of "Find the Hidden Gluten" :lol:

I noticed the other day that my favorite "flavor" of the oil of olay soap is now "with oats". :ph34r: I used to use the purple label bottle. Check to see if that is the same kind you used.

Wasn't there recently a post about wheat being in charcoal??? You may want to look for that.

And personally, if I take Aleve for may then two days in a row I get D. Do you feel glutened or just the D?

My Cover Girl blush (wich I just threw away) had oat flour listed as an ingredient. If there isn't an ingredient label on yours, you may want to throw it away and start over again just in case. Unless of course you find out where the mystery gluten is coming from. I'm positive that mine was Cover Girl and the oat flour was clearly labeled on mine.

Aleve is gluten free. Crest is gluten free. The Burt's Bees Beeswax lip balm is gluten free. I don't know for sure about any of the others. I believe Unliver (Dove shampoo) pledges to clearly list gluten containing ingredients. Maybe someone else could verify this since I'm not positive.

Hi Lisa--My vote would be either the lipstick or the blush--the rest looks ok to me. I get Neutrogena Moistureshine Lip Gloss and Lipsticks at CVS. Lots of options there.

Bare Escentuals are available at sephora.com and at qvc.com.

Yes, Unilever will list everything that is in it as I have spoken with them personally. Actually 2 different people called me back to assure me of it.

Lisa, I tried to get Clnique ingredients and haven't had luck so far - the website was useless and I haven't contacted the company yet. I did get a response from L'Oreal - I use their Endless 8-hour Lipstick (color is 830 - "naked ambition" - a pinkish neutral that seems to look great on everybody, FYI!) Here's the nice note they sent:

February 22, 2006

Thank you all, my good friends here. I do think that it is the Clinique lipstick. I will revert back to Burts Bees lip gloss for many days to verify.

The Cover Girl Blush has not effected me, but going out tomorrow. Any suggestions for blush. I am looking at the last week and the only introduction was the Clinique lipstick. (at $15.00).

Lipsticks-----L'Oreal, Endless - eight hours

Neurtrogema - Gloss and Lipstick - Gluten Free Available at CVS.

I most likely could work out this problem, but there are so many new people that post and I feel that this will help. I have been gluten free since August 2005 and there are still issues that we all deal with in our day to day lives. There are traps every day that we cal fall into.

Thank you all for your posts and I am sure that it will be helpful to many others. That's what we are all about. Helping each other.

Lisa---I hope you are feeling better! I know it is so frustrating when you aren't sure what the problem is. Hopefully, maybe the other suggestions will have taken care of the problem. I take it you haven't been eating out lately? Just wanted to double check.

Lisa, I bought a Clinique lipstick a couple of weeks ago. The salesperson read the ingredients for me and told me it was wheat free (I have bad eyesight). Anyway, when I got home I had my kids double check and guess what - YES it contains wheat.

So I had to take it back - not impressed let me tell you. I bought an Elizabeth Arden one instead.

I think its definitely your lipstick!

If you search for Clinique on here I know there is a post about it. I know my lipsticks were ok from there. But some of their stuff does have gluten.

I called my local McRae's clinique counter and they said all the lipsticks were gluten-free. I had my doubts tat the time since the girl didn't sound very knowlegeable. She was just reading ingredient lists, but she was really trying to help. For now i"m using chapstick!

Clinique is under a huge umbrella of companies including MAC, Estee Lauder i think, and several others.

They always list gluten ingredients, and while it won't always be clear, it will always be listed. The only ingredients on a list that were gluten and didn't say "wheat" or "oats" is when they used the scientific name. I believe trictum vulgare is the scientific name for wheat. Make sure you look for that.

I found the post with the full listing of ingredients!

Ragu is gluten-free and Dove will clearly indicate gluten in their ingredient lists.

I wrote to a customer service rep for Clinique (I believe her e-mail was posted here somewhere, her name was Justine I believe, I will look for my e-mail)...

She checked all of the products from Clinique that I use, and Some of my lipsticks were OK, some were not. I believe the Color Surge ones were, but other ones were not... this was the e-mail from the "generic" customer service... but this other lady was super helpful... I'm still trying to find it... but here is the ones I asked about....

"Thank you for your interest in Clinique.

With regard to your inquiry, the following products do not contain gluten,

Glosswear for Lips

Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick

Foaming Mousse Cleanser

Acne Solutions Antibacterial Facial Soap

Clarifying Lotion 3

Rinse-off eye makeup solvent

Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam

Pore minimizer Thermal-active skin refiner

Moisture Surge Extra thirsty skin relief oil free

However, Dramatically Different Moisture Gel does contain a barley extract &

Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream contains barley and wheat germ extract.

We trust that the above addresses your concern. We hope you will look to

Clinique for all your skin care and fragrance needs.

Sincerely,

David Cuffari

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
