I want to know if there are any african americans out there that can tell me about any gluten free hair care products or makeup. I was just diagnosed on 25 January 07.

I don't know if this helps or not but noticed this range of makeup had darker shades for exotic skins. www.jrminerals.com

Welcome to the board! If you have a minute search for Nini (a poster on the board) as she has a "newbie" packet on her site.

Welcome Southern Girl. :)

I am about as white as they come, but I just read about some fabulous hair and skin softeners and products mainly geared toward African Americans, and the raves were so great (from Oprah, etc.), that I ordered some. The company is called Carol's Daughter (www.carolsdaughter.com) and the creator of the products uses all-natural oils and ingredients, without any gluten as far as I an discern. I am expecting my products any day, for hair and skin, can't wait. Check it out!

Bare Minerals is largely gluten-free (some of their glosses / lipsticks aren't, though), and works very well for darker complexions; my best friend is dark chocolate and when she wears it you can't tell that she's not bare - skinned! Same for me... I use the tan collection myself.

Pantene also has a product line for black hair.

Do you just need information on just makeup or on skincare as well?

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
