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

Nope, but I do know it is not Round Up or Malathion :ph34r::lol:

She was horrified that I used to use Redken products - now it's Tea Tree oil.

I'm going to pick up some California Baby when I get to Target over the weekend. They have a "super sensitive" line. I would love to use something that I can walk into a store and buy.

Thanks Nik :)

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

Tis true. I think opening the email, if you did, will not cause problems. If you actually thought it was ME- a few people, no psillies th- did and clicked on the link. If you clicked on the link, change your email password too sweet! My computer programmer telehubby assures me this is all you have to do. Sorry :(

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?

Patti- This whole thing stinks! Kurt is having an issue with his hands- he was allergy tested and found to be allergic to potassium dichromate. You should see the list of stuff it's in- it's most commonly found in leather so got rid of leather belt (stomach), cover for steering wheel. Still breaking out in horrific eczema. Eliminated more stuff and it started to get better. It's finally MOSTLY under control (but he's still trying to figure out shampoo). Looked like he had leprosy for awhile there.

It could be a random chemical like this- maybe you should do the patch testing. No fun but might get you some answers.

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.

I just made my own perfume- it's kind of fun!

How's our Shroomie feeling?

I am ALL OVER the World Cup. Go Brazil!

What are all you Americans doing for the holiday? I cannot believe it's almost July!

Yeah...NOT the thing to do right now. I was telling Kurt he should try baking soda:

Bought some Zevia at Whole Foods yesterday. I'm trying to eliminate aspartame from my diet and I just can't seem to give up me diet soft drinks. I've reduced it to about four a week but can't seem to go below. I want to see if it makes any difference in me achy knees. It's not bad, but I'm not overly impressed. I've only had one and it will take me a while to adjust. Anybody else drink this? . . . or have a recommendation for a different stevia-based soft drink?

Both boys will be working to about 1 a.m. at the fireworks stand. On the 5th, the firework stand owners have a picnic and a big field to shoot the fireworks in. They hire a really nice professional fireworks show. You haven't seen a fireworks show until you lay back in your chair and the ashes rain down on you. :)

Sounds great, Kerrighn. I love fireworks. Over Memorial Day Weekend, one of the nights we could see a display from our driveway that was coming from a park about 8 miles away.

Queen Elizabeth and Ol' Phil landed in Halifax this morning, and they'll be here in Ottawa on Canada Day. Methinks the organizers should arrange to have her set off the first huge firework over Parliament Hill - - much like her smashing bottles on the bows of maiden ships.

She would likely be right on board to do this.. . ..and she's still got amazingly steady hands, great reflexes... . .....

Hmmm...She's not a drinker, is she?

Skeeter light bulb moment . . . with all this talk of chemical/smell sensitivity . . .

While I was gone to Maine, I had the outside of my house painted. They came back today to work on a few outstanding items. The front door needed to be sealed and the back door needed to be painted. Skeeter just came up to me and said . . . "Remember that time I took a shower right after you cleaned it and the cleaner smell made me sick? I'm starting to feel that way again." I have sent her outside to read her book. If it gets too bad, she might spend the night at Grandma's house. This has got me thinking though . . . after I found and removed the item with barley from her diet . . . what if all the other "reactions" have been to a chemical/cleaner from the school. She has not had any kind of reaction since school let out . . . despite eating out more often and sharing kitchens with people who are not used to scrutinizing their actions for cc behavioUr.

Things that make you go "hmmmmmmm...."

Been there! So great when the large pieces of shrapnel come down and hit you in the head. We had to hide under a blanket for most of the show :huh:

Soooooooo Exhausted!!!! All I want to do is sleep :( Goin to see the new Twilight movie with about 10 other gals tomorrow night, so I need to rest up! The kids have been at each other non-stop and we've only bee on "summer break" for 1 week <_< I locked them both in a room together yesterday and went to another floor in the house so I didn't have to hear them. I was thinking-Survival of the Fittest, maybe just one would prevail and my house would be quiet again :blink: Cannae handle this for 2 more months!

Think I shall go visit Jess--You know what an awesome meal we could make outta that watermelon and the booze ;)

I remember being 16, working at my first job and having to call my dad to come and get me after I almost fainted. I wore perfume that day, which I normally didn't do, and managed to stagger to my boss's office before I dropped into the chair. As a kid, things like that would bother me, but I would forget pretty fast until the next time.

A similar thing happened about 5-6 years ago when we had our basement finished. Another of many over the years....

FWIW, my Ear, Nose & Throat doctor here told me that it's not at all unusual for them to see this kind of allergy/sensitivity with Celiac patients.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
