Pacifica - on 2-26-09 - wrote me that all their products are gluten-free. Pacifica makes perfumes (solid and liquid), soaps, and candles - and they smell wonderful! I get them at Whole Foods, but Pacifica also has a web site. I did not ask whether they contain nuts.

Thanks for this info! I just put in a call to Pacifica to find out the same thing and had to leave a message. I love their products and was concerned that the vitamin e they use might be from a wheat source. I'm so happy to know it's not! I'll still inquire when they call me back to see if anything has changed, and if it has I'll post here. ;)

      Your frustration is completely understandable—after 13 years of strict gluten-free living and mostly normal antibody levels, it’s disheartening to still see biopsy evidence of lingering damage, especially without clear guidance from your GI. The subtle improvements (like "focal" vs. "patchy" changes) might suggest some healing, but the persistent villous blunting and lymphocytosis raise valid concerns about ongoing low-level inflammation, cross-contamination, or even refractory celiac disease (though your normal antibodies make this less likely). It’s especially frustrating when your symptoms (nausea, pain) are dismissed with generic advice, and communication feels like a game of telephone with nurses. Switching to a more engaged GI is a great step—someone who’ll actually discuss your biopsy results, explore potential hidden gluten exposures (e.g., medications, shared kitchens), and investigate other culprits (like SIBO, motility issues, or food intolerances that often overlap with celiac). Hang in there—you’re advocating for yourself the right way, and your dedication deserves answers, not canned responses. Hope the new GI provides the clarity you need!

      Thanks for the post on Vitamin D.  I have been living in south Florida and have been taking moderately higher doses of vit D. I am considering the Mushroom supplements and exporing Real Mushrooms, the brand. Not sure. If you have any thought, please share. I am curious about all things homeopathic.

      About 9% of celiacs react to the protein in oats (avenin) like they do gluten. The dairy protein casein is also known to damage small bowel villi like gluten does in some celiacs. In addition to that, many manufactured gluten-free food products contain difficult to digest polysaccharides like xanthan gum that are famous for causing digestive distress.

      Your  post is excellent. Thank you!! I have been trying to keep my diet "truly gluten free," but as you know, it's a  sneaky allergy, especially if you have a heightened sensitivity. So ironically, and sadly, no medical person told me to stay away from "gluten free oats.".  To my own fault, my lack of awareness led to years of eating  massive bowls of gluten-free oatmeal, sometimes twice a day. Awful right?  I am sure this added to the recovery time. I think I have been super vigilant for the last 12 months, but I wonder. I  haven't gone to a restaurant in a long time. My wife is frustrated with my social situation but truthfully I need to get this condition over with. Thanks again.

      Thank you so much for the caring reply. It really helps to be getting feed back on this. Thank you Celiac.com!  The skin lesions are in the last stage. Some are larger and take more time but much better. I look at photographs from 2 years ago and I shudder.  The stomach issues prevail,  although incrementally improved, even after a stay at MayoClinic this past year. Thank you again
