Proactiv states that all of their products are gluten-free. I have used it for years. Its works all right for me but I prefer other brands. Plus the first day I used it, my face was really itchy. But I got used to it and didn't have anymore effects. That is the only one I use that I know for sure is gluten free. These are the other brands I use without...

ARCHIVED Wheat Gluten And Chicken?
ErraticBinxie posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was just watching the news and they were saying that the contaminated wheat gluten that was in all the bad pet food was also being fed to chickens. Now they are afraid that people are eating infected chicken. My first thought was....if chickens eat wheat gluten, should I be eating chicken? Does anyone know anything about this and if there is any risk... -
I totally know what you mean. I don't ever go out with friends unless its sushi. I am always so worried about it. And I don't know how to meet celiac guys so I am always wondering if I will meet them if I go to GIG meetings. UGH! Why does it have to be so socially awkward?

How Long Have U Had Celiac?
ErraticBinxie replied to Kara B.'s topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I have been gluten free for about 10 years now. -
This morning on The View they turn to Elizabeth and say...."Now tell me about this Celiac Disease that you have..." And then she talked about it and then she and Rosie drank RedBridge. It gave me goosebumps. Yay for celebrities being advocates!

Hey I live in Eugene, Or as well! -
I have always been against eating oats. Just recently, my mom and I found Gluten-free oats and she ate them and she felt fine. I am scared try them though. I am just wondering how everyone else feels about eating oats.

ARCHIVED Celiacs Disease And A Freshman In College
ErraticBinxie replied to morrisgirl's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I lived in the dorms as a freshman and I was continuously getting sick from dorm food. Don't give up hope. I figured out I was risking too much so I spent the rest of the year eating fruits, veggies and rice. It worked out really well because I ate healthier than I ever did before and I felt great. It was kind of refreshing to live like that for a while... -

ARCHIVED Does Anystill Eat Gluten?
ErraticBinxie replied to uhmanduh's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
You should really see it as a blessing that you were diagnosed. There are so many people that go for years not knowing what is wrong with them - some of them almost dying - and in the end, they are so thankful to know what is wrong with them that a little gluten-free diet seems like nothing. Honestly you are being irresponsible. Part of being 18 and... -

After all of the years I have been doing this, I have learned that you need to toast EVERYTHING that is gluten-free unless you make it fresh yourself. It takes some getting used to, but after a while you won't want to eat bread, bagels, etc unless it is toasted. Good Luck! -
ARCHIVED May Contain Traces Of Sickness
ErraticBinxie posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I work at a seafood restuarant as a waitress and I often have people come in that have celiac disease and ask me what they can eat. I pretty much know all of the ingredients in salad dressings, sauces etc. A few weeks ago, I told this mom (who's very young child has celiac disease) that the only dressings we have that are gluten-free are thousand island... -
ARCHIVED Is Anyone Here Not Actually Diagnosed?
ErraticBinxie replied to kalanfan's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I have never been diagnosed. But my mom was when I was little and I felt better without gluten. So I have been gluten-free most of my life. But it sucks because my doctor refuses to believe that celiac even exists. So I will go through my life without it on my medical records. Oh well. -
I have been gluten-free for 10 years and when I started college this year, I felt really crappy. I tried everything and I finally felt better when I went off of dairy. Sometimes a reaction (ie you feeling crappy) are set off by stress. Or in your case, you are still new to the diet and your system is still trying to heal. Be really gentle on yourself...
