Why I had to get up @5am I'll never know. :blink:

Maybe it was the nightmare. :ph34r:

During the move to SJ, I stayed over somewhere in LA and somehow ran into a very horny Jessica Alba, professing her love for the tenor sax. But *I* had to put a halt to everything to ask what lipstick she used and to look it up for gluten content!!!!!!

Ok I made it up, but I've seen too many makeup/lipstick threads to not wonder.

Q for anyone: What *is* the deal w/ gluten-free lipstick? Is it rare? 50/50? :huh:

I don't care how hot whoever is, I'm planning on never getting glutened again.

The last (in both senses of the word) time was mid-march of '04, after 3mo 100% gluten-free.

I should even commemorate the date in 2014, 2024, etc. :)

My name....ahem... comes from Ye Olde English for "girl from the beaver meadow" :ph34r:

Did you ever see my post in response to your question about Lyme and libido (or lack thereof)?

Q for anyone: What *is* the deal w/ gluten-free lipstick? Is it rare? 50/50? :huh:

No, it's not rare. Lip glosses are more likely to have gluten in the form of wheat germ oil ... in fact, Lip Smackers is a popular one that does, but it's more likely to be used by teenagers, so you don't have to worry about that one.

But, if you're out on a date and she goes to put on lip gloss, you might ask to read the ingredients ... don't forget your reading glasses!

Body/face lotions, and shampoos/conditioners are more likely to be a problem than lipstick.

Okay, so I missed this thread...I assume that the verdict was to...partake...as much as possible while feeling lousy with lyme symptoms, and you will magically begin to feel better. That kind of thinking would not go over well with any listening pharmaceutical reps...but it's great advice. :D

For them, it is a cure-all ... but at least there's only one thing on their lists of things they want from us ... if we take care of that one thing, they'll deal with all the garbage we dish out. Amazing, actually. :lol:

I had two until my husband retired and two became three. :o In a "manly" voice "Mom, where is this, where is that". Oh the joys of retirement.

      Ibuprofen

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!
