    Wine is good. I stick to unoaked primarily, to be ultra-safe, have been gluten free since 2006 and am hyper- sensitive to the evil gluten! I like Barefoot wines but, after reading much research, I am pretty certain any reaction to lovely wine is due to something other than gluten. wine actually helps a reaction for me, by the way! Best luck in healing to...

    Wish I were sipping the Australian Shiraz as well! Wine is good. lisa

    I've had a bag in the freezer for a month because I'm scared to try new things; I'm one of the ridiculously supersensitive... maybe I'll try a munch now! lisa

    I am quite sure I react to airborne gluten such as being at my Mom's or sister's after theyve made bread or cakes. It's real. lisa

    Hi. I've used "sugar in the raw" for many years with no problems. lisa

    Hi everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for having this board for the past 6 years or so!Thank you all. Any veteran supersensitives (JerseyAngel? Lisa/Momma Goose- are you out there?) okay with Cointreau liqueur? I would like to add some zest to my amazing chocolate enjoy life fudge but don't want to be sorry! The site says "no gluten" but then...

    Hello oceongirl, Ive been reading an old post about the abdominal pain you were experiencing at night time.

    My daughter has recently been diagnosed as Celiac and is suffering with the same pain at night. Did you ever find out how to control this? She is already on the diet and was ok for a few months but recently had a stomach bug and is up every night again.

    Any advice you can give ...

    Hello Super Sensitives, particularly veterans, In Maine it seems we are no longer finding Tom's of Maine (no longer "of Maine", as Colgate or Crest or someone bought out the Maine company a few years ago...) dental floss and I need to know a trusted national brand as quickly as possible as I'm having an issue with a molar that I think desperately needs...

    Though I don't get colds as often as I used to, if I get the flu (which I've had twice in the past 7 years), I get bronchitis and then pneumonia which is very difficult to shake. I'm not a big fan of vaccines but many have allowed us to live the mostly disease-free lives the Baby Boom generation has enjoyed. (We haven't had to fret polio or diptheria...

    Hi and welcome to the board! Please keep reading here to obtain information and guidance. Perhaps more veterans will respond but, many of us have found, through many years of trial and error, that we have other sensitivities. Your best bet now is to stay very simple, make all meals from whole foods you prepare and keep a detailed food/symptom log to rout...

    ARCHIVED Inhaling Flour

    oceangirl replied to john m's topic in Doctors

    I know I get glutened by high concentrations of flour in the air. I think it ends up in my gut as well as lungs because of (sorry) postnasal drip meaning whatever I breathe in also finds its way down my throat at times! That is tough if you need to consider a new job, but... whenever a door closes?... good health to you, lisa

    Planter's nuts (Kraft) clearly mark gluten and I am a highly sensitive one. I eat South Beach diet nuts every day and have not had any problem with them for years. Good luck! lisa

    HI! I'm a special education teacher in a high school and am ridiculously sensitive to gluten. The kids eat it in my room but are fiendishly protective of me. That said, even with this age group and insane caution, I think I still get glutened at school sometimes. Sigh... I don't envy you with younger kids and gluten. The gloves are not a bad idea; sorry...

    Fritos were sometimes okay and sometimes not when I tried them years ago. I took them out. lisa

    HeatherJane, I do believe both are safe; I am fortunate that a woman who works at the Lancome counter I visit has celiac and seems very well informed. lisa

    Domesticactivist said it all beautifully and I do agree with her suggestion for making your own meals from whole foods and ditching the "gluten free" prepared foods. You just cannot trust that labeling yet; at least I can't and don't. In my first years I found I also had trouble with: soy, legumes, dairy, citrus, corn, egg and nightshades. Essentially...

    Lisa, Hi! I have not rechecked lately and I know this is way too pricey BUT, I have used Lancome Le Rouge Absolu and Color Design lipsticks every day for years and I think you know I am stupidly sensitive to gluten. I've had no problems and it is fabulous, LONG-LASTING lipstick. One tube lasts me months and months and I do mean I wear it ALL day; it is my...

    At least a week. I am 6 years gluten free and it still happens as I am ridiculously sensitive. Drinking lots of water and finding time to lie down is all that helps. Good health to you! lisa

    Are you highly sensitive? And how long have you been gluten free? Many of us have found, over many long years of elimination diets, food logs and on and on, that we are highly sensitive to gluten and many people with celiac know themselves to be sensitive to gluten in any topical substance. That said, it may take time for you to discern whether you will...

    Raven, Yay! So MUCH need for those who, sadly, often don't live as long as others... YAy!!!!!!! Love to see a picture, bald or not. Pooh most likely sent you to meet each other... lisa

    I have deep pain in my left hip and joints when gluten sneaks in (amongst about a zillion other lovely symptoms...) It does seem that there is a cornucopia of symptoms and multiple system involvement with this surly disease! Hope you get an answer soon, Doctor! And feel better! lisa

    Really nice shared dialogue between GlutenfreemManna and Raven and others re: the tricky nature of adult kid and parent relationships. There is so often more than meets the eye in ANY relationship! I know that even here in my 50's I still can have issues with my parents and they with me! The human condition, I guess. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt or feel...

    Raven, I really like what Jestgar said about "tribe"; I do feel here on the Earth Plane or the "Pain Plane' as I sometimes refer to it, we all have family and "chosen" family- those who we just feel more comfortable with and at home with. I come from a huge French and Greek family and there is a ton of love but with SOME, not always true understanding and...

    Ravenwood, I am so sorry for all your sorrow. You have helped me so much over the years and I want you to know I see how much you help others on this board. Kids are selfish sometimes; maybe they will come around and realize most parents do the best they can. I come from the philosophy (Read Dr. Ross Greene/website:Livesinthebalance.org)) that people do...
