it always annoys me that they can say "eliminate five things from your diet, and you're nutritionally unbalanced" - ONLY when it comes gluten and dairy. :angry:

All things considered, this is a great article. But I agree with Tiffany, that it is ridiculous that they call a diet without gluten or dairy products unbalanced. NOBODY needs either of those to be healthy. In fact, I don't believe those are really healthy for anybody.

This is a great article and the more articles about the benefits, the better.

However, they make it seem more restrictive than it is, I think. They mention that they can't buy "citrus, apples, potatoes, avocados, peppers or tomatoes" implying that is part of the gluten-free/CF diet and they say they need "special shampoo and deodorant". I don't call my Dove products special. :rolleyes:

I have included some links about the diet and autis. There was aremarkable differecne with kathryn after going gluten free - energetci, interactive, smiling, social skills improved, ability to focus etc. The GI doc asked the teachers to write down their observations in the classroom, becasue he wants to build a file showing that this diet may help those affected by autism.

It really makes your hair have volume? Which one do you use? I use the one for blond highlighted hair and it makes my fine hair so soft and silky it won't do anything. The hairdresser couldn't even keep it clipped up! My hair feels good but it just lays there limply!

All of the hairdressers that I have told I use Dove shampoo actually think that is a good one "if you have to buy from the grocery store."

i use the colour-treated fine hair one... i was excited they had the duo - i was always buying the 'for fine hair', then thought about the colour treated, and then they came out with one for both. silky, smooth, and a little more volume-y than normal.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?
