Hi everyone,

I contacted Jergens today and she said (immediately) that NONE of their products are gluten free, because everything is from outside sources.

I've had that reply as well. I wonder if any of these companies have any idea what a large part of the population they are cutting themselves off from.

Just think, it's the Celiac in the whole house hold who dictates the products that are used by the family.

Perhaps this is something we should be telling companies when we get that 'I can't garentee" answer.

I know! I was a little disappointed, but I also bought some Revlon products and called them and THOSE were a go, so it made me feel better ! :)

I would translate that into "We don't know and we don't care!"

You are right Peter, but as more of us are diagnosed, they all had better start caring or they are going to lose a lot of business. After all, the free market place is based on money. Perhaps that's the way our Celiac groups should start putting their pressure on to educate these companies about how many are really going to drop out of their market share. I really believe that in a few very short years, those of us with Celiac disease will have enough power to affect the bottom line of a good many companies. We probably could now, but I think a good many of us are too shy to call in to companies, or meekly say "okay" instead of saying, "well, why don't you know what you put in your products?" and "why should anyone buy those products if you can't say what's in them?"

It's the same thing that will be happening with forcing companies to lower the salt content in their pre-made foods. We baby boomers are getting older with many blood pressure and heart issues. And we will be the majority of the population. Putting 36 - 45% of a daily allowable amount in one can of soup is not necessary, nor should it be allowed. Think of the cost to the health care system.

Okay, that's my rant for the day :lol:

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
