    Dear Andrea, It is difficult to say when your teeth shifted. My best friend had her braces off for about a year, and then the wisdom teeth came in. I think her dentist got them out before they did anything to throw them out of alignment. Had they stayed in there, that would have been another story! I am just at a loss as to what to...

    Dear sarad1, Congratulations to your hubby! Since he has been such a good boy, I have a little present for you and him to make things easier. Also, I wanted to remind you to be careful with your lipsticks and such. If you eat gluten and are not a Celiac or gluten intolerant, he can become ill from kissing you. This disease really can be difficult...

    Dear Sarah, Those are some great ideas! Liver is not something I am big on. Dogs sure love the stuff. Of course, our dog eats my hair, lint, toenails, plastic, wood, and all kinds of other strange things. I am not sure he would be a good subject to base such scientificness on. Dear Kassandra, I am glad I am back...

    Dear 1965kid, You are correct about everything. Cross-contamination is very serious, and I too have some OCD tendencies. I would not have to worry so much if I had my own place. However, I am stuck having to share a kitchen, and my parents are not gluten-free. Getting new cookware and everything is intimidating, but worthwhile. ...

    Dear Andrea, My parents never at liver, that is for sure. I think my father has eaten it before. My mother is very picky, so she would not ever eat it. For her, that is like being on Fear Factor! In fact, eating anything health is like being on Fear Factor for her! Sincerely, Jin

    Dear Rachel, That symptom list was as long as mine is now! I hate having so much wrong. People think you are a lunatic when you have all of it wrong, but what can you do? Everyone who is not sick or has never been that sick is so judgmental. One thing is for sure, I know there are numerous things going on, not just one specific thing. ...

    Dear sarad1, I know what you mean! My parents are the same way! My brother and I got the disease from somewhere! We have Irish on both sides, and both my parents are good candidates for the disease. Mom swallows four different prescription pills alone for her constantly loose bowels, on top of OTC anti-diarrheal liquid medication. She, my...

    Dear Amy, Thank you for your input! It is difficult to say if there is gluten in some of these things. I have no idea about any chemical names for wheat, barley, oats or rye. Some of the labels I read look safe, but that does not necessarily mean anything. Web sites really only permit hairdressers to know some of this information. I will...

    Dear Carla, I am so glad to hear Chloe is herxing! She is making progress! Your girl will be well before you know it! I know how fun it is to have headaches all of the time. Maybe that will improve soon for Chloe. The oil of oregano probably would help my whole situation. Any relief is welcome! Small improvements are better than...

    Dear Kristina, The thing is, these items have to be used for what I need done. She is going to do my hair like Jennifer Aniston. She has to strip the black dye, then add highlights and low-lights. It is a complicated procedure. Now my mother says we cannot afford it, so I do not think I will get to do it anyway. The stylist can use certain shampoos...

    Dear Kassandra, I am so glad you got your 504 aid! I was pulling for you! In all truth, according to Disability Act 504, schools, which I would think includes high schools not just colleges, are required to accommodate individuals with Celiac. By law, this is a requirement. If the school goes back on the agreement in any way, you can take...

    Dear Patti, You are so sweet! I thought you guys would be concerned. That is why I posted a mini update! This afternoon my column will be up and running again! I will warn you ahead of time it will be a doozy! My headaches probably will not improve until I get this tooth extracted. The oral surgeon cannot get me in until December...

    Dear Fellow Gluten-Free Friends, I want to get my hair done. The trouble is, despite going to the Web sites for these products, I have not found anything! I was hoping someone on here is a hairdresser or knows one. I may just have to read all of the packages first. Still, some companies do not label ingredients clearly. This is the list...

    Dear Everyone, Do not worry, I am just behind on posting! I will have my column on here soon! I have had to make a dental appointment, been doing some research, and suffering with headaches. That is on top of household activities. Taking care of Dart has also kept us busy. He is doing very well! Sincerely, ...

    Dear Rachel, That is so weird about the chocolate helping the head swelling. The circulation is increased by caffeine, so maybe that is it? Other than that, I am out of ideas. Perhaps you have an oxalate threshold, where you can tolerate one type of high oxalate food per day? In my opinion, anything that gives me a good reason for eating...

    Dear Bev, Susie, and Julie, Thank you for the kind words for Dart! He should be back home today! Despite all of the things he swallows or attempts to swallow, I expected the obstruction to have been something else. We used to joke about him getting a hairball from me, but did not actually expect it to happen! I will call after they open...

    Dear Kristina, Cheese is not allowed on the Candida Diet because of mold. It is aged, and as a result, irritates symptoms in people with an overgrowth of yeast. You are in the right place at the right time! Mold toxicity is a common issue here. Donna and Rachel have had issues with this. Another thing to consider is toxic...

    Dear Kassandra, I am very proud of my brother! He has done so well! Plus, he does not have the other issues I have. That makes it easier for him to recover quicker. Chad actually gets out and about even when he does not have to work, now! For a while, he hardly could even visit my grandparents and help them out. They live near his place...

    Dear Amanda, OMG! I am glad Dart is okay, too. I feel so terrible! I cannot believe he had that in his intestine! It was stuck! No wonder he was so ill! It sounds like the wedding is coming along nicely. The fourth will be here before you know it! A beach wedding is so perfect! I am excited, and I do not even get to come!...

    Dear Rachel, I am sorry to hear you reacted to the Vitamin C. I know you have had a terrible time with it in the past. I can see why you would worry that they will not allow you to do the chelator if you cannot tolerate the Vitamin C. Hopefully, they can just take it out. You probably cannot handle the Vitamin C due to the oxalate conversion...

    Dear Everyone, Sorry I have not gotten to visit in a while. I have a nice story for you. Last week, our Yorkie Dart was sick. I thought it might be worms because of the symptoms. Well, it turns out, he had something stuck in his small intestine. The vet had to do emergency surgery! Friday afternoon, we were relieved to hear Dart was doing...

    Dear Kassandra, I say your brother needs a major noogie! My brother finally came around after having D so bad he nearly lost his job. I told him if he got sick enough, he would do the diet. About a month ago, he finally decided to give it a go. Now, he is feeling great, and has a whole new lease on life! He is not as negative as he used...

    Dear Kassandra, I will be anxious to hear about the appointment today! I hope it goes well! We are all pulling for you! Thank goodness the doctor you are seeing knows about Celiac! So many know absolutely nothing. Your appointment for Halloween is coming soon! Everyone in Rachelville is keeping their fingers crossed for...

    Dear Kassandra, Feel free to laugh about the dog! My parents and the vet did as well! It is kind of hard not to. I have octopus hair. It's alive! I am glad you had such a productive appointment with the doctor today! That is great to hear! Maybe you will finally get to the bottom of things. Lyme testing is best done through IgeniX...

    Dear Laura, Hello, how are you? What have you been up to lately? I bet the wedding was nice. Did you have a good time? I hope you did not overdo it! Dear Andrea, I am glad the dog is going to be okay, too! That sure was scary! Behold the dangers of hair! Who knew? The vet said a lot of dogs eat hair. Meanwhile, getting a hair...
