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.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
