    Hi All, I'm having a terrible time finding ANY decent hair product for fine/limp hair (such as mine) that doesn't contain wheat. I don't think I have Celiacs, I either have a wheat allergy (most likely) or wheat/gluten intolerance - not 100% sure which. The majority of my symptoms from wheat ingestion are respiratory in nature although I do feel a bit...

    I don't think BCP have diuretics in them. If so, this is news to me. I actually had to stop taking them because my blood pressure was too high and I got put on a blood pressure meds with a diuretic. In any case

    Wow that is great news! I've been mostly gluten-free since April. (Elimination diet - tried wheat/gluten a couple of times since to read body's response). I've been on BCPs solid for 15 years. I love BCP. I didn't want to come off of them but I had too. I was majorly bummed and scared at how terrible I'd feel while my hormones readjusted. I stopped...

    oh and now that it is after 6/21 - what did your doctor say?

    Due to generalized inflammation in my body, I went on an elimination diet in April / May and discovered the following respiratory reactions when I eat the following: Dairy (except some cheese seems to be okay), soy, eggs, onions: phlegmy coughing for about an hour or two. It begins immediately after I eat. Wheat: A few hours or even the next day after...

    It may depend on what state you work in. For example, I live and work in Virginia and it is a "right to work" state (or something like that) meaning that any company can fire you for any reason and you can leave any company for any reason - at any time. In other words, where I am, they could fire me because of a health issue but to cover their rumps, claim...

    Have you thought about adding in magnesium to help with the C? I take magnesium supplements after reading how deficient we are in magnesium - The Miracle of Magnesium by Carol Dean. The only problem in taking too much of it seems to be a laxative effect (hence Milk of Magnesia). Something you may want to consider.

    I had actually thought about the toothpaste...after...my appt (I really need to improve my timing). However, once a year - and this was that appt - I get them to "sandblast" instead of polish. It is a high pressure wash with baking soda. Not great on the tongue and it is very messy but boy the teeth feel and look much better!

    Hi All, Just thought you'd like to know I went to my dentist Monday for a regular 6 month cleaning. The dental hygienist asked if anything had changed in my medical history. I said, not officially. I had been doing an elimination diet and wheat seems to be causing some issue. She immediately asked "Celiac?" I said no, I think it is an actual...

    The trouble with my breathing is primarily the hard time getting a deep / full breath. It also last the longest of all my symptoms - sometimes for several days - and is the most uncomfortable. I yawn a lot, not because I'm sleepy, but because sometimes the yawning actually helps me get that breath I need....sometimes it doesn't. The stuffy nose is a nuisance...

    Thanks for the responses. Based on your help, I've been doing more research into wheat allergies and I'm leaning more in that direction since my symptoms are mostly respiratory... although I do feel sluggish and achy too after ingesting wheat/gluten. I guess I'm confused somewhat b/c I thought allergic reactions were more sudden. For me it takes several...

    First time post looking for some sage advice. Sorry for the length but I thought some background may be helpful. First let me say, I don't suffer from the normal or typical gluten sensitivity reactions. Never have. My gut and what comes out seems just fine. My grandmother was diagnosed over 60 years ago as having a "wheat allergy" but no one else in...
