I don't smoke anymore but need to in a production I am in. Any supersensitives able to comment on whether or not it's okay to put a cigarette in my mouth (??!!!!! Duh... glutenwise, I mean)? I'm actually not lighting it onstage.

Or what brands would be gluten safe?

Thank you for any help,

lisa

I don't know the answer but I wanted to make a suggestion. Have you ever seen those electric cigarettes? They are a little plastic cigarette that looks just like a cigarette and releases a little vapor too. It's for people that are trying to quit smoking and it does release a little nicotine into your system, but it would look realistic and be better for you (and the audience) than a real one. If you do a search for "E-cigarette" you should be able to find a place that sells them.

ETA: Oops I just realized that your said you wouldn't be lighting it on stage. Nevermind.

Natural American Spirit is gluten free, it has only tobacco and is the brand I smoke. :ph34r: I believe Winston is also but not sure. If your just holding it and not smoking it I wouldn't worry about which one you use. You could always 'fake' taking a drag unless they want you to hold it in your mouth hanging out the side for the show.

What play are you doing?

Hey, thank you both! Yes, I am familiar with the vapor cigs but the director's vision is that no cigs will be lit, very minimalist production stylistically, however, I will be "dragging" and hanging it out of my mouth so I do need a cig I can hang off my lip without being paranoid of gluten. (already suffering a glutening from another actor's body lotion- sigh- cast is being awesome about this, though, changing everything and very understanding)

Ravenwoodglass, we're doing the Pulitzer prize-winning AUGUST:OSAGE COUNTY by Tracy Letts and I'm playing Violet. Devastating and biting look at the myth of the American family and funny as hell to boot. Very honored to be one of three regional U.S. companies with initial release rights!

Thank you for your replies!

That sounds like so much fun although I am sure it is a lot of work. Congrats on getting the part.

Thanks, Ravenwood, and, yes, it's a job- but a good one! I'll stick with American Spirit.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
