    i'm not a fan of when you implied that we are not being as safe as possible by not using all gluten-free products. I don't eat my mascara or rub in down my face and get it in my mouth, so really, i'm being as safe as i possibly can, its just personal choices. I choose to not be compulsive about non edible non lotion type things. However, if someone else wants...

    i was really under the impression that you are, that, it has to hit your gut, i really doubt your skin absorbs things and it goes into your digestive tract. I think if it's just celiac, not an allergy on top of it, it works like you say.

    lfij replied to meg44's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    what is the powder under the tounge test? is it gluten? does it affect them within seconds? ::confused:: but, The teeth thing is a dead giveaway, like everyone before me has said. That really points to celiac!

    Very few celiacs are likely to have any reaction to topical gluten contact. In order for a gut reaction to occur, it is likely that direct contact with the gut lumen is required. Many people with celiac disease have everyday contact with gluten (for instance, bakers with celiac disease who have contact everyday with wheat flour), and do not have any reaction...

    thanks! honestly, i really had never heard any of this and I find it really interesting to think about for my future kids! I've heard of people not vacinating children but never have heard any real reason to think about that untill now!

    thanks for the advice. you're right. although, i do have to walk on eggshells around here, i remember a few months ago ( i was a "lurker" then lol) how someone named srokie pretty much got nudged off the board by people really not being open to a simple opinion, i don't want that to happen to me. so i will try and watch the way i say things.

    i bet non celiac people have them but are just unaware of it. People who have celiac are probably very very aware of exactly what we put in our bodies, and therefore can probably pick out better what's bothering us. (I'm sorry you're intolerant to tapioca!)

    i guess i was just asking about the public type soap or like normal soap like dove, dial, etc. I don't use anything fancy like those lol.

    lfij replied to Niteyx13's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    maybe your body is just working overtime and needs more fluids! (when you have the flu or are sick otherwise, you usually need more, celiac is no different if you're back on gluten for testing)

    just out of curiosity, have vaccines changed since people who are now adults recieved them? One would think they would have become "safer", or is it the same ol stuff that kids are getting now? thoughts? and, can kids get into school without any vaccinations or real religious cause to not recieve them? (I don't have children yet, but am curious for when...

    does it require a lot of ad ins to the mix? Or is it an "easy" make?

    please, let's not get catty, let's drop this. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including me.
  13. lfij
    i appreciate your story, we all have awful stories and it's great to be able to tell them here. I just think you are all a little too concerned with your own opinions and are really not open to other ones. I hope your leaky gut heals as well as everyone else on here. "experts" are given that name for a reason, and i'm entitled to an opinion just as well...
  14. lfij
    i will try and be more "respectful" in the future, however, it does seem that any opinion other than the obsessive over being sick gets shot down. i suppose it's true that many support groups are self serving. thanks for the gentle warning.
  15. lfij
    some dentists are actually familiar with celiac, you should look into finding one or one that is at least celiac friendly in your area because there's no way you'll be able to research every single thing you could come in contact with.
  16. lfij
    really? can someone tell me what soaps HAVE gluten in them? because, i haven't run across any
  17. lfij
    yes. it's not realistic to think you or your children will never want ot eat out. you can't be a hermit just because you have celiac and you shouldn't expect your children to never want to eat out. almost every fast food place has a safe green only side salad. and there are other options at places like wendy's and chipotle and in and out
  18. lfij
    Doll- this is hysterical, because we oppose them they just jump to the conclusion that we're the same person on different names with nothing more to do than say the opposite of them. WE too are entitled to opinions, but apparently housewives know more than people who write for national celaic mags and doctors. LOL. i bet a million bucks they'll try to kick...

    ARCHIVED 60th Anniversary

    lfij replied to kalikohl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    good idea. i apologize i completely missed the italian thing, i think it's late and i'm tired lol. I'd be very careful of people eating bread all around the table getting into your food, and if you get veggies reiterate to the waiter that they can NOT be cooked in pasta water. Your best bet is to talk to the cook/chef wherever you go. I've heard of celiacs...
  20. lfij
    i have this one, it's an easy one to start out with before you dive into the "adult" ones which can be quite complicated and have a zillion odd ingredients. (they add up to be quite expensive)
  21. lfij
    i will get back to you but centrum makes one that is gluten-free i just dont have the bottle in front of me to tell you which one it is (I take it), and im' sure there are tons of others. i will reply tommorow and im sure others will before me.
  22. lfij
    i keep them in a flour jar on the counter, never had a problem. esp with the prepackaged junk.

    lfij replied to kalikohl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    wherever you go, stick to "naked" food. veggies cooked in clean water, PLAIN meat cooked on a clean part of a grill, or a plain salad w/o cheese or imitation bacon or dressing unless you are good at reading packages. the more upscale the place the better luck you will have. you can also always just get a plain baked potato. good luck.
  24. lfij
    just thought we should be nicer in our responses, we all made mistakes when we first started. I ate cheerios the entire first week i was "gluten free" because i didn't understand the concept of malt yet =-D
  25. lfij
    i eat breyers and haagen daz. anything without obvious gluten in it is ok, they use all natural ingredients, they have said they don't hide gluten.
