I am a newly diagnosed celiac person participating on this board. I manufacture an all natural line of bar soaps that just happen to also be completely gluten free.

There are occasionally questions asked on the board about where to get safe gluten free soaps. I have hesitated to chime in because I certainly don't want to break any rules.

Please tell me what I am allowed to say, if anything.

Hi Kathy Ann,

I copied rule #2 from the forum rules/guidelines--

Do not promote your own business, Web site or products--even if they offer free services.

We're very happy to have you here, though -- feel free to ask any questions you may have or join into the discussions! There is a ton of good information here, and lots of nice people who are very knowledgeable about Celiac and the gluten-free diet.

Welcome :)

Welcome, and really I don't have a clue but I would think that if you would like to advertise your product you should contact Scott, it is his board. :)

Maybe you can sell your products through the store part of this website.

If someone asks what brands are glutenfree, I think you could state your brand, just don't say it is yours. You could also email someone about it, if they have that feature enabled.

Kathy Ann,

While I'm not the official last word here (that would be Scott, admin), I can't think of any reason why you can't have people email you about your soaps. After all, those emails and PM's are private anyway. :)

I don't know what Scott charges for the ads on the side (Bob's Red Mill always has one going), and if you could afford that. But that would be one way of doing it. Or having a special event (like a sale), you could then advertise it in the calendar on this board.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Hello, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis about 3 years ago. At that time I quit gluten and it really helped my symptoms. I hadn't known that I should've tested for celiac before doing so.  Up till recently, gluten would cause my symptoms to flare up, although I never noticed anything with cross contamination, so I wasn't strict about that. But recently, I noticed I could get away with more gluten, and so I decided to do a gluten challenge to see if I had celiac and if I had to be strict. Note that my thyroid antibodies had been decreasing steadily up to this point. My anti-TPO had reached 50 IU/ml from 250 IU/ml (reference range 0-5.6) when I had first been diagnosed. After just a week of the gluten challenge, I measured my thyroid antibodies and they were at 799 IU/ml! I felt fine, but a few days after I started to feel the symptoms. Extreme brain fog, insomnia, diarheaa, fatigue, sleepiness yet cannot sleep, stomachache after eating gluten, nausea, swollen throat (probably due to my thyroid), burping, and gas. I cannot function properly. I'm also worried that I'm killing my thyroid. Should I just quit the challenge? It's been almost two weeks, but the first week I wasn't tracking well, so that's why I didn't want to count it. I can't eat gluten anyway because of my thyroid, but I wanted the diagnosis to know if I should be strict about cross contamination or not.

      Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity

      You really saved me as I was on day 4 of 3 g per day for 6 weeks. Thank you very much!

      Two weeks is the minimum according to the guideline. I would go for four weeks if you can endure it, just to make sure.

      Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough?

      It applies to both blood tests and biopsies. Guidelines for the gluten challenge have been revised for the very issue your question raises. It was felt by medical professionals that the longer term but less intense consumption of gluten approach was not proving to be reliable for testing purposes and was resulting in too many false negatives. But do keep in mind that the gluten consumption doesn't have to be in the form of bread slices. It can come in any form: pasta, cake, wraps, etc. Another approach would be to buy gluten powder at a health food store and mix it in a shake. The idea is to get at least 10g of gluten daily, whatever form it comes in.
