HI!

This is my first time posting here, though I have been using this site for reference for about 9 months. I first want to say I have found all of your comments and tips very helpful as I was researching Celiac Disease and learning to adjust after my dx. I joined the site specifically because I feel like I have information to share now too...but I am also at work so I have to keep this short.

I know how depressing it can be looking for every product from scratch - i am extremely sensitive to even the smallest trace of contamination, and so had to change EVERYTHING in my home. (You guys understand) I finally reached out to two of my old favorite brands to see if I could use anything. I will tell you more about the encounters, but wanted to post some of the emails here to applaud the attempts of Tigi Linea and to give an answer regarding Victorias Secret makeup that I have looked for myself on this and other sites - so that everyone looking like I was can have it.

Victorias Secret: took less than 24 hours -

"Thank you for your e-mail regarding the Very Sexy

Thank you so much for posting your research, it really helps a ton! I love the bedhead stuff, but haven't purchased in a long time because they didn't know. Kudos to you for stepping up and getting them to notice! Keep us posted :)

THANK YOU!! I used Tigi products for years (LOVE them!) before celiac disease. I haven't gone back because of the uncertainty about the ingredients.

I'll be watching this thread for an update! Keeping my fingers crossed that my fave products are ok to use!

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results.  Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      Yes this information helps. I will continue to be pro active with this issues I am having. More testing to be done. Thank you so much for your response.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

      I have always eaten gluten and never stopped until my recent episode. I started more wheat products as my Dr. requested for the Tissue Transglutaminase Iga Antibody. mye result Value <1.0 Value interpretation: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or =15.0 Antibody detected I do not understand any of it. After eating all that wheat product my body exploded with all sorts of symptoms. I stop gluten ASAP. I am still in the healing process. I started having issues after my surgery.
