    Ummmm....just because a person nearly dies from Celiac, does not mean they are super sensitive to gluten. There are plenty of people on this board who nearly died from it, including myself, and they don't go through life labeling themselves as a super sensitive. Everyone with Celiac, all the way down to the gluten sensitive, need to avoid gluten, period...

    You definitely have an attitude problem, don't ya? I think the subject was gluten, not chemicals, vitamins or minerals. Stay on topic. I honestly wonder how people get through life, if they fear ingredient listings in shampoo so much. It's pretty easy to figure out what a person is allergic to and many non-Celiacs have problems with certain ingredients...

    I always liked the dense, grainy breads and not so much white bread so didn't have any problems with the better gluten-free breads. I admit, there are some horrible ones out there but the 2 I mentioned are quite good. I also like homemade bread but my husband is the baker and doesn't always have time to make some. The Canyon bread is phenomenal and I always...

    I have Sjogren's Syndrome which affects my eyes to a huge degree. Believe me, having Sjogren's is a bigger deal than worrying about gluten in your make-up. I have not had a problem with most make-up out there and my eyes are extremely sensitive to many things because of the Sjogren's. I would imagine that anyone who wears eye make-up would not be rubbing...

    Why would you fear gluten-free bread? There are a few excellent breads that could easily pass as wheat bread which are from dedicated facilities and are certified...it doesn't get any better than that. I would recommend the Genuis bread by Glutino or my favorite, Canyon bread, available in the US. Canyon is so good, I have fooled people that are not gluten...

    From someone who uses make-up with no anxiety......the only real problem with make-up would be the use of lip products, for obvious reasons, and hand cream. If you put your hands into your mouth a lot, then it would be essential that your hand cream be gluten-free. You have to ingest it into your GI tract to cause a reaction,unless you have an additional...

    Was it their regular size bag of chips, not the small ones? If I ate that many chips, regardless of what flavor, I wouldn't feel good either. I'e never known a provider of certified gluten-free foods to leave out an ingredient on a label. I guess it could have happened but I haven't heard of anyone having a reaction to these chips. They are a very...

    ARCHIVED Tea - Super Sen.

    Gemini replied to GFreeMO's topic in Super Sensitive People

    MMMMMMMMM.....Barrys! That tea is rocket fuel and I love it! I have been drinking unflavored tea and coffee for years and have never come across any tea, except some flavored ones and some European teas which they malt, that would be a problem for any Celiac. I am very sensitive and drink a lot of Earl Grey and never had a problem. But then again, I...

    My husband is doing a dietary trial for 6 months because he has issues that resemble a gluten problem and his testing so far has come up negative. He does have a double DQ-1 gene, which I take is gluten sensitivity. He told me he would have to find good bread to eat or he wouldn't make it. Such a drama queen! The conversion was not totally easy! To...

    I feel the same way. You cannot go wrong with the Kitchen Aid mixer. My husband uses it to make gluten-free bread with the dough hook and he's now a convert. If you're doing any "from scratch" cooking, it's a must!

    Thank God Josh is staying!!!!!!! The last thing we need is to lose the ones with enough common sense to fill a stadium. I am so impressed by your attitude and especially since you are a guy, and guys sometimes really freak out about dietary changes. I agree with your annoyance over those who think the gluten-free diet is something to kill yourself over....

    Regarding the tooth enamel...when my adult teeth came in (I cannot remember what age that was so those with kids will have to fill me in!) my 2 lower, center teeth came in yellow. Really, really yellow. They were like that all my life until I had them capped as an adult....lovely! The dentist at the time, back in 60's, told my mother I must have gotten...

    You do great rants!!!!! I also have found that these world class hospitals very often get mired in old standards when it comes to chronic illnesses. They have plenty of machinery with pretty blinking lights to impress people but they can't diagnose obvious thyroid disease to save their lives. I know that also as I live outside Boston and we have some of...

    This is such awesome advice, Josh!

    I just love the use of the word "wee" and think it ought to be incorporated much more into conversations.

    You made Eggs Benedict and didn't invite any of us over? I have found that different breads take different toasting times but never that long! That must be some dense loaf of non-gluten! I have noticed that bakery made breads do take longer and it must be the moisture content. They are always pretty good so worth the wait. Genius doesn't take overly...

    I can't answer your question about the product you asked about but you need to eat more calories than 1200 per day or you'll never lose weight. I do weight training twice a week and the trainers have drilled it into our heads that if you don't eat enough calories, then your metabolism shuts down and holds onto weight that you already have. I don't know...

    Oh geez...looks like it's another cranky day for me......if you wish to raise decent kids that everyone else will want to be around, then stop treating them like your friend. Your kids are not your friend, they are your kids and need strong discipline at times like these. You can be empathetic but you're still in charge and call the rules. Your kids will...

    I think everyone deserves a b%$@#-pass for a day.....

    Ha, Ha, Ha!!!!! I love it! You quizzed the doctors office and they failed! Most people wouldn't know to do that and just go with what the doctor tells them so they never get diagnosed and better. When my TSH hits 4, my nails start splitting and I am so tired I could sleep for a week. I keep mine very low, almost suppressed and medicate according to my...

    Love2Travel and I PM'd and we are good! I think I overreacted somewhat to words that I shouldn't have let bother me but Love2Travel was very adult and generous in her attitude about it so all is forgotten and we move on. This forum needs her travel expertise for those of us who are a bit timid to venture as far as she has, not to mention her cooking skills...

    October...your son has Celiac Disease. His fluctuating tTg is because of his age but any child with anemia issues and dental enamel issues is most likely suffering from Celiac. I find it really hard to understand why doctors refuse to look at the whole picture. I was chronically anemic for most of my life and have dental enamel defects galore to the...

    This explains your son's elevated tTg!!!!!! OK, I will admit I am not a doctor but I have Celiac, Hashi's thyroid, Reynauds and Sjogren's Syndrome and I diagnosed all my problems, except for the Celiac, way before the docs caught them in blood work. I am pushy about things like this because by the time they took me seriously, I had a lot of damage and...

    Having low white cell counts is perfectly normal for anyone with an autoimmune disease. The only time it is an issue is if you are getting sick a lot...if not, don't worry about it. I have 4 autoimmune diseases and my white cell count has been low for years but since being gluten-free, I have not been sick so never give it a second thought. Having...
