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:

LOL

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

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

So, is your hubby starting to ask who you are and what did you do with his wife???

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.

      That is a very good point I do not know if they truly ever went down. With my nutrient levels all being good, CBC, metabolic panel I assumed everything was fine over the years. Now Im worried this is refractory celiac or something else 
    • RMJ
      I don’t know how common it is, but it happens.  Total IgA going up is not necessarily celiac related.  The body can make IgA antibodies against all sort of things.   But if I understand correctly that until recently you haven’t had a celiac blood test since diagnosis, how do you know that your recent blood tests are a mild rise, vs never going down to the normal range? That also can happen, although not too common. Some people with celiac disease do react even to purity protocol certified gluten free oats. Removing oats from your diet for a few months and retesting is probably a good idea.
    • thejayland10
      interesting I did not know that was that common or could take that long.  When I was diagnosed 15 yrs ago I was told just follow gluten-free diet and follow up with primary care doctor (who never checked celiac panel again). I felt way better and all the major symptoms went away. It wasn't until recently at 25 (14 yrs after diagnosis) that I thought to follow up with a gastro doctor who then did a celiac panel and noted those minor elevations 3 months ago then I got them checked again by another doctor the other week and were showing roughly the same thing.  I am very strict with what I eat and dieitican was maybe thinking it could be oat flour. I do eat a fair amount of processed food but I will not touch anything unless it is certified gluten free.  Do you see this pretty commonly with others? Having mild rises in TTG IGA and IGA who have been on gluten-free diet for years? 
    • RMJ
      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten? 
    • thejayland10
      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?
