ARCHIVED Lactaid Pills - Kind Of Ranting!
zagadka replied to Sweetfudge's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
As a warning, DO NOT use VITAMIN WORLD lactase enzymes. I have used them for years and for some reason today looked on the bottle, read the ingredients -nothing odd- but found the disclaimer "this product contains wheat"!!! No wonder why I still feel bloated and icky a year after going gluten-free. WTF! -
ARCHIVED Cinnamon Buns, Pizza, Perogies
zagadka replied to Jessica04's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
oh man, pierogies...yum. potatoey, cheesey filled lumps of goodness. and kolaczki...mmmmmmmmmm. apricot kolaczki... sometimes i like to day dream about food... well, jessica- like others have mentioned...don't rely on the tests alone! many people go this route, maybe for closure or for justification, which is fine. personally, i didn't go that route... -
aww, that sucks. i would suggest switching to all natural cosmetics and toiletries, but be careful! i just realized last night that i've been using Aveda for years and have had a very itchy scalp/ neck/ face on and offf...looked at the ingredients- BOOM... "wheat amino acids"...i'm totally bummed. i love aveda. i googled "gluten free shampoo" last...

OH! i recommend trying Trader Joe's Midsummer's Night Cream. It's all natural and gluten free as far as i can tell on the label. I LOVE it. it's cheap, too!!!

AH! me too! and i do the same thing in the shower! are yours tiny flesh colored bumps? mine are sporadic loners. i get them on my tummy and in the crack of my back on my spine and sometimes on my arms- they're SO annoying. no matter how much i scrub with my "michael jackson" glove, they don't leave. i have a patch on the back side of my hip- they were...

ARCHIVED Rash
zagadka replied to gramcracker's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
i'm new too and kind of in the same boat. my whole life i have been plagued by odd skin conditions, and was diagnosed as a small child as being allergic to water. yes, you read that correctly- water! there is apparently a name for it, but i honestly believe it is tied into ingesting gluten. i've had so many scratch test, etc, the only thing that showed... -
ARCHIVED Air-borne Tablets- Yay Or Nay?
zagadka posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I popped one (well, it was actually Walgreen's brand, cleverly named "wal-born") into my glass today and immediately felt icky afterwards- really bloated, tummy hurt...then the big D came a few hours later. thanks big D! always nice of you to show up... I read the label prior, and it looked OK ... i contacted them asking if their product was gluten free... -
ARCHIVED Symptom Cycle - Related To Monthly Cycle?
zagadka replied to lisalouryan's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
i have been gluten free for about 2 months now. prior to that, my cycle would be anywhere from 31-35 days long, and i would have my period for 7-9 days. ugggggh. I never had any terrible PMS symptoms other than being verrrrrry tired and verrrrry cold. occasionally i would be insanely sensitive, but figured that was "normal" to cry for seemingly no reason... -
ARCHIVED How Lactose Intolerant Are You?
zagadka posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I have been gluten free for about 2 months now, feeling GREAT. I don't have an official diagnosis ( i don't feel i need closure, but other people in my life seem much more concerned about that than i do...i know you all can relate. very frustrating. I'm so glad that i found this forum!). My entire family is LI, and I have been lactose intolerant since... -
ARCHIVED Red Puffy Itchy! Hands/anyone Else Get This?
zagadka replied to dally099's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
oh my goodness- ailments! i have been lurking on this forum for quite some time and now i get to put my two cents in... a lot of what you have described sounds familiar. here comes stories! ok, for back ground i have been as gluten free and careful as i can be for about 2 months now. i'm sure some gluten may have slipped in here and there, but i am learning...
