    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I miscarried 9 mo. ago, twin girls, at 7 wks (my first pregnancy ever, not planned), am strictly gluten-free, and found your reference to celiacs being 40% infertile to be very disturbing. Could you provide me with any other information that your MD cited? I've done web searches for this before and haven't found there to be heavy evidence on either side...

    Thanks kess for the website. I just had a miscarriage and logged onto this referenced site and it looks to be of value to me. I'm trying to believe that my m/c had nothing to do with being celiac. I've been gluten-free since Feb., 2005. I'm an RN and I asked a MD that i worked with if there was any harm to the baby if I accidentally got glutened and...

    My doctor's nurse ordered my one year follow-up labs wrong, and instead of testing me for Ttg, they mistakingly tested me for IgG. I've been gluten free for one year. In July, 2005 my IgG was at 681, and now it's down to 609. The norm is 694-1618. I'm waiting to hear my MD's input on this. Has anyone else experienced this finding with their labs? I...

    The entire line of shampoos and conditioners by Tosca are gluten-free, I can buy them at my salon, but I'm sure that you could order them on the internet. I'm biased against store brand products. --Kelly

    All Crisco oil/shortning is gluten-free, and they make vegetable oil. I buy Canola oil for sray oil b/c it's better for your heart. --Kelly

    Hang in there Kim. I was really an emotional train wreck (on the inside) after my initial diagnosis and going gluten-free, much worse emotionally than prior to my dx. It progressively got better for me. As far as prexisting depression, perhaps that was gluten related and perhaps not. It's tough to try and speculate if this will improve to the point that...

    I love Food For Life Brown Rice Bread. It's sweet and dense, but really good! --Kelly Langenfeld

    I haven't had a chance to try the beer that you mentioned above, but I recently have begun to stock Grist (sp?) beer made from Lakefront Breweries in my fridge. I love being able to have a beer again and I can buy this where I live (Racine, WI). --Kelly Langenfeld

    I developed a terrible rxn/tolerance to alcohol after going gluten-free. I was always a beer drinker before, and there is a real learning curve to drinking hard alcohol since my diagnosis in 2/2004. I almost gave up drinking altogether. There were too many bad weekends to count d/t drinking Bacardi and cokes after my diagnosis. But, what I found is that...

    I've been strict gluten-free since 2/2004 and I notice (looking back) a slight depression since being diagnosed. It 's better now, for the most part, but it definitely took approx. 3 mo. to clear the worst of it. I haven't noticed any correlation between mood swings and gluten. I'll have to pay closer attention to this. I attribute my mild depression...

    I can relate to being tired all the time. It has gotten noticably worse for me since going gluten-free in 2/2004. I'm a vitamin junkie, including Co10 daily. I agree that when I exercise I have more energy and feel better, but that's probably the only thing that I have found to help. I hope that this desire to indulge in lots of sleep starts to taper...

    Anyone out there from Racine, WI? --Kelly Langenfeld Diagnosed 2/2004 blood & biopsy

    Try calling your local Walgreens pharmacist and ask them to help you find the contact number for the manufacturer for Miralax. That's how I researched all of my meds. They're really helpful there. It takes a few days of phone tag with the manufacturers sometimes, obviously. --Kelly

    After further thought re: your question, maybe your body is absorbing more of the pill due to your villi healing. Call your MD's nurse and ask he/she to refer the question to your OB MD for their thoughts on the matter. Maybe you need to switch to a lower hormone dosage now that your body is healing. Intriguing question! --Kelly P.S. Please...

    I've been on many different BC pills b/c my doctors thought that I had endometriosis d/t chronic abdominal pain back in the mid 90's (it was always only celiac-undiagnosed). Two laparoscopies showed nothing abnormal. I've been on Yasmin for several years and I absolutely love it. There's no weight gain with Yasmin, as there is commonly with the other...

    I drink Absolute, Sky, and Smirnoff as a standard. When we go out, most places will have one of these. I mix it with diet coke. It sounds gross, but it's really grown on me. --Kelly

    Kara, it's good to know that there are other people out there with celiac disease that are having the same weight problems that I'm having. Thanks for your correspondance. I think that the psychological component of "being denied" food choices has a lot to do with my feelings of being unsatisfied with normal portions. I too have found substitute foods...

    "Hi Kelly! Your story sounds exactly like mine. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and have gained about 35 lbs. After going gluten free, nothing The gluten free diet wasn't working for me because I still felt like crap--bloated, gasy, D, unhappy. So, I tried the Specific carbohydrate diet (SCD) and I feel amazing! No bloating, no gas, lots of energy and 9 lbs...

    I have steadily gained weight since my Feb., 2005 diagnosis of celiac. I have never been thin, but more on the shapely side of healthy. I've gained about 20 lbs. since my diagnosis, and am miserable about it. I'm 29 yrs old, and I don't know if I should attribute this to eating gluten-free or my metabolism slowing down. I initially thought that the only...

    Re: Clinique and Estee Lauder Lipsticks: Dear Ms. Langenfeld, "In response to your inquiry, Different Lipstick and Pure Color Long Last Lipstick are gluten free. Futurist Lipstick contains gluten." I had also inquired about 5 different formulations of lipsticks, but they avoided my question and provided me with a lengthy list of ingredients to...

    I just found out that the entire hair care line by Tosca is gluten free. This is a new brand sold in salons. I've been using the volumizing shampoo and conditioner and love them. --Kelly

    I just found out that my cholesterol has taken a huge climb since being diagnosed with celiac in Feb., 2005. I realize that the diet change and healing villi have a lot to do with this, but is this a common reaction? --Kelly
