WOW Mymississippi, you sound like you work for a gastroenterologist-ha,ha Thank you for explaining that!!

Nikki, I absolutely feel 100% better without gluten in my diet. It is clear to me that gluten is a huge problem for my body. Anyway, thanks everyone for your help!!

Gemini- Some quick things: 1) the doctor saw the damage during the Upper endoscopy part of my exam yesterday. He said something to the effect that the villi (or whatever ) looked pushed over-whatever that means. 2) I had 2 sets of blood tests done. One done before I went gluten free and one 6 months after. Both sets came back negative. But, I do have...

I finally found an excellent and up to date doctor in my area (His name is Doctor Laskin out of Paoli Hospital in PA if you are interested) and he ran the standard blood work on me to determine if I have Celiacs or are just gluten sensitive. While I tested positively genetically, he felt that my blood work didn't come back strongly enough to have Celiacs...

I have to admit that when it comes to knowing which make up is ok and which is not I am completely lost. I would really like to try Cover Girl Aquasmooth foundation since I have very dry skin (mineral make up makes my skin look flakey). I could not find a contact number for cover girl or an email to write to. But, they do list the ingrident list on line...

Holy Moly!! I just placed my first order w/ everyday minerals. First of all, I can not get over how good the prices are!!!! Secondly, the colors are beautiful. I can't wait to recieve my order. Thank you so much for starting this thread and alerting people to this cosmetics company!!!! I was looking at their soaps. They sound great but does anyone use...

Ladies, I posted here 12 hours ago and figure it will be slow here due to the weekend. I come back to check and there are 2 pages of postings. I will have to step it up to keep up around here Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and the info on everyday minerals. Can't wait to start wearing make up again!!! Thanks for everything

Hello All!! I am so excited to have found this forum. I am new to this gluten free world (since Nov.07). I don't mind not eating some of my old favorite foods but not knowing which make up I can where is killing me. So, I hope that hope you are ok with a newbie joining your thread I have attempted to read as much of this thread as possible but after...

Thanks for the warm welcome! You mentioned that Yoplait yogurt does come in some gluten free flavors-do you know which ones are gluten-free? Thanks!!

Thank you so much for that advice. It sounds very logical, do -able, and it is free I really appreciate your help!!!! Dolly

Hi All, I hope you don't mind a newbie jumping in on your thread In late October/early November I realized that I can't tolerate gluten. I have not had the official testing done with a gi because I can't bare to eat gluten any more to get the test done. But, I did have the blood tests done and they seemed to indicate that something was going on with...

I have been gluten free for about 2 months now and my life has completely changed for the better. Now that I feel well, I would like to get my weight down. I am looking for a diet plan that would be compatible with a gluten free life style. So far I have looked into: jenny craig nutrisystem medifast ediets And, none of them will accept anyone with...

I have thought about everything you all have said and how absolutely ill I feel after 3 days back on the gluten-and, I have decided to cancel that proceedure (the endoscope) and stop eating gluten. I just don't think that I will survive if I keep eating gluten. So, I will look into endolab and see what that entails. But, I thank you for allof your help...

I am not a doctor so I don't know for certain, but that doesn't sound correct to me. Hopefully, more knowledgable others on this board will respond. Good Luck!!

I want to thank all of you for all of your help and advice. Being back on the gluten my head is swimming. I can barely think straight. I have a lot to think about. Thanks so much for everything!!!
