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.

Oh no DH is pretty good at it let me tell you! Only mine is spent on clothing and accessories and his is spent on golf clubs, electronics and just random crap.

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.

I don't use makeup, but the topical products I use:

* alba botanicals body creams & face moisturizer (I get dry skin easily)

* vit e oil (currently using for the scar on my face)

* natural crystal deoderant

* neutrogena acne gel (as needed)

* glycerine based soaps

* trader joe's botanical shampoo/conditioner

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).

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?

I sure hope it is! I have drawers full of the gluten stuff. What do we do now? Should I start scratching out of my shopping notebook???? LindaLee

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??

CarlaB Enthusiast

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 ...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
