Bev's email's been scammed. Don't open the 'dear friend' mail if you get one.

Now why is this driving you nuts?? . . . It was something new, you eliminated it, now you feel better. Good job!! I looked at the ingredients. It's all very chemicalful . . . of course, most shampoo/conditioners are . . . so it's hard to tell what's in it/where it came from.

Because it's been 5 years, and no soaps or shampoos work for me for very long. :( All I do is eliminate things. I have to send away for soap--it's ridiculous.

I seriously wonder if it a multiple chemical sensitivity type of thing. I understand not all doctors recognize it, but I have just about every symptom.

I knew it wasn't a gluten issue--I just didn't know what could be causing it.

That sucks! (can I say that, cause it really does). Maybe you will have to go au naturale.

OK . . . I'm sure that you don't have anything else going on right now . . . but have you ever thought of making your own shampoo? Then you'd know what was in it.

Castile can be purchased or it can also be made. Castile soap recipe: Open Original Shared Link

. . . at least you wouldn't have a bazillion chemicals to decipher.

Jan-it, it's phunny you should suggest that. I spent some time this afternoon reading up on just that. It may come to it.

Not naked. Just no soap, lotion, deodorant, etc. You may keep the clothes - unless you find you are allergic to cotton......

I was just kidding. :P I do use crystal deodorant and love it. I get soap from Dakota Free--about as pure as it gets with no cc worries. Hair stuff is a pain..... still have to figure out something for that. Maybe California Baby? That's really all I use most of the time other than some Everyday Minerals and Afterglow lipstick. I used to be a real product junkie, too B)

That's ok--I make up fer it in shoes and handbags :D

(speaking of Pthaumus, didn't he also get sick from the smell of perfumed toiletries??)

Yes--he has a very hard time :(

Well, last night I was feeling pretty good by the time I went to bed. Decided to lie down and read for a little while and about 10 minutes after getting into bed, my head went from no pain to feeling like someone was trying to hammer their way out of my skull.

I got up and went into the living room, and the pain started subsiding, so I took the sheets off the bed and put on fresh. Got back into bed, and no pain at all :huh: Even though it was a 'scent free' shampoo, it must have left some sort of chemical residue on the pillowcases. Woke up today without a headache for the first time in weeks.

Jeesh :rolleyes:

Yeah.....looked suspicious to me, so I didn't open it. *whew*

Didn't Em send you a message? I'll see if I can copy and paste. I gots a feeling you won't be here, though :(

Just saw something on GMA about airline food. The FDA found that a lot of it was dangerous - not hot enough or cold enough, unclean prep, etc. Makes you glad that many airlines don't have gluten-free food. :P

Ouch, Pads, what a bummer to be so scensitive to 'scents'. I once went for a consultation with someone who asked me not to wear perfume or deodorant of any kind, but I had not washed my hair and there was hairspray residual. She asked me to leave and we did the consult over the phone :o T'is no laughing matter. My sister is supersensitive to chemical sprays and gets "dosed" almost every time she leaves the house :unsure:

Tis a bummer fer sure, Shroom. I've been sensitive to smells and things for a long time, but I think it's slowly been getting worse and causing all these weird sensations. The pillowcase thing last night really threw me fer a loop, but after reading on a few sites, I see that these things are common with chemical sensitivities. Who knew? :huh:

Do you know what yer sister uses to wash her hair by any chance? B)

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
