I am unhappy to find that a lot of stuff today is made with spandex and/or lycra

Tops, jeans, etc. I am of certain age that shouldn't be wearing close-fitting clothing

and I have a little more weight on my bones than I should. I feel like manufacturers

are no longer making 100% cotton jeans any longer.....

Anyone else finding this to be a problem? Or do you have source for 100% cotton

jeans?

Thanks

Deb

I have had luck with the Long and Lean jeans by the Gap.

My girlfriend also likes Land's End for clothing.

I found these a couple of months ago and I love them (I'm a bit on the hippy side and these don't gap too much at the waist).

I have a pair from Eddie Bauer that are also 100% . . . they're a couple of years old. I assume they still make them that way.

Also, if you get the LL Bean Credit Card (no annual fee) you don't have to pay shipping on any of your orders. I got it for that exact reason and rarely use it except when I'm ordering from their catalog. You also don't pay if the shipping address is to a different location. It means you don't have to try to put together a bigger order to "justify" the shipping cost. Returns are on your own dollar, though.

Thanks for info...I have an "hourglass" figure also and pants "gap" at the back at the waist. It's so bad that you can gather about 4 inches of fabric.

The jeans I have now are Lee brand from JC Penney and I never thought that they would add spandex elastic to them but they did.

I see that LandsEnd has "custom" made ones....wow!

I buy most of my clothing from Lands End. I hate clothes shopping, and with them everything fits the same. Once you know your size, you know everything you order will fit.

I do have a few pairs of pants that have a touch of Spandex in them. They are cut wide enough to not cling in the least, but I love that when I bend or kneel there is some give, and I don't feel so constricted (I hate anything tight).

. . . and just a little info about Lands End. . . you can make your returns at Sears so you don't have to pay return postage. Just this week, when I was at Sears (making a Lands End return), the person there told me that you can place a Lands End order AT a Sears and get free delivery to your house. I haven't tried this yet, though.

See, I have a slightly 'inflated' behind. But I'm 5'7'' 145lbs, so you'd figure they make clothes for people my height and weight, right? WRONG! I swear, 95% of the jeans I try on are like saran-wrap on my butt and completely baggy on my thighs. I'd love a pair of pants that just fits. The best ones definitely have the 4-6% spandex though, because I get that gappy thing at the waist too, and it helps prevent that. I've taken to wearing professional clothes more often when I'm not even working, because it's easier for me to find work clothes that fit right. TJmaxx and Marshalls are cool though because they have so many different brands, instead of department stores that only carry a few.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
