And, it's a misconception that coconut oil is bad for you!! It's only the processed, hydrogenated, garbage that is bad. Some saturated fat is good for you and this is one of them! Of course, that's as hard to explain to people as celiac disease is! :P

I agree!

Well, I just ordered my Lip Venom from QVC.com. While I was on there, I also bought a Kitchenaid hand mixer (my old cheap one quit 2 days ago in the middle of whipping potatoes) and a pair of black crop pants. Somebody stop me :ph34r:

LOL!!! I think we may be related! It's baffling how quickly I can spend money.

It's genetic--anyone with two x chromosomes can spend money very easily, while those with one x and one y are genetically programmed to tell us to stop.

you ever wonder why that is? I mean women spend money on things we "need" like make up and clothes, and pedicures (okay, yeah I really need that) and men spend it on toys :P

Went shopping last night, I bought new shampoo, a few shirts, and hubby buys a movie :rolleyes:

oh, also (on topic!)

I really really like my TIGI Bed Head shampoo, it's gluten free, smells like Oranges.

Too true--in my husband's case it's his old car hobby and toy truck collection. That's why he's so understanding when it comes to my affinity for clothing, shoes and purses! I tell him--at least I wear mine--they're useful :lol:

I kinda lied anyway ... he's never really told me to stop! :P

He spends his in a lump sum usually ... last time it was a new Corvette! :blink:

Careful with Tigi, they are not all gluten-free! Dumb blonde is not.

Oh yeah DH is great about my shopping. He actually kinda thinks it's funny sometimes. My job doesn't exactly help my shopping addiction (or for that matter what a normal perception of prices are).

And, it's a misconception that coconut oil is bad for you!! It's only the processed, hydrogenated, garbage that is bad. Some saturated fat is good for you and this is one of them! Of course, that's as hard to explain to people as celiac disease is! :P

I was wondering about that. I also have high cholesterol and thought that was one to stay away from. Is that what they were using in the movie theaters that everybody was saying was bad? I love the idea of all the uses yawl have for this with removing makeup and lotion etc. and it being so simple without all the other junk in it. Thank you all for all these inputs. I love knowing what works for everybody and I hope you all do too.

Sorry this is off on a tangent, but....

jersey, do you order from QVC a lot?? What's it like? I am always nervous that what you see on TV isn't what you'll get.

I think the movie theater stuff was hydrogenated, but can't remember. Some theaters still use it. I had some great popcorn recently that was loaded with it! I always ask to read the ingredients of the butter topping if I am at a theater I haven't been to before. Sure tastes better!

I'd do a google search for coconut oil's health benefits and effects on cholesterol if I had a cholesterol problem. I don't know the answer to that.

I get Lumene at CVS which is a drugstore on the east Coast (I'm not sure where else it is). Lavera I got at Whole Foods. Pretty sure the whole line is gluten-free.

They also have a website Open Original Shared Link

Lumene is from Finland and the whole line is gluten-free EXCEPT for any of the hydra-drop makeup 9these contain oats). You can order it through CVS's website:

WoW!

I'm even more confused.

As I read down this thread...Many of you are still using products with gluten... or maybe you just don't know it? Or this isn't a gluten free list?

Julie--I do order from them. They have a lot of brands all in one place--and a lot of variety. I tend to go on-line as opposed to watching on TV. For instance, they carry Smashbox, Bare Escantuals, Prescriptives, Philosophy, Mally, Laura Geller, Lorac, and several other makeup lines that can be hard to find in stores. I love Birkenstock sandals, and they have a good selection there, too. They have an unconditional 30 day guarantee--so you're not stuck with anything that you don't like. The ordering process is quick and easy (of course :D ) and I have found the customer service is good. I would suggest going to their website and take a look at what they have there--that will give you an idea if it is for you. :)

Which products? Everything I use, I have verified gluten-free. Unless something has changed?

Yeah I believe it was hydrogenated. Hydrogenated coconut oil is nothing like the pure organic real stuff. There were studies done years and years ago that determined coconut oil was harmful, but the studies used hydrogenated oil.

good. I avoid that hydrogenated oil. They have really got me wanting some popcorn with it. I'm on a healing diet and corn is out.

What products on here contain gluten? To be honest the only ones I would worry about are foundation, face mosisturizer, lipsticks, shampoo & conditioner. I mean those are the only things I could potentially ingest. I don't make a habit of eating my blush or mascara. LOL!!

Thanks jersey! I do a lot of ordering on-line, so I'll check out the website. I worried about the quality of the products, but from what you list here sounds like they have a lot of reputable brands.

I've been interested in the Bare Minerals make-up. Is it good stuff??

You don't have to have popcorn for your coconut oil ... I use it on everything from toast to cooking oil. You can use it as a butter substitute.

I'm wondering what products contain gluten as well ...

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By lehum · Posted

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
