    If you want salon quality products that are gluten-free, try either LUSH shampoos and conditioners, Korres conditioners and styling products or phyto. Phyto's jojoba shampoo is gluten-free, as well as the phyto mist leave in conditioner and the oil spray for shiny hair. Futerer also makes a gluten-free shampoo. Many of the shampoos (Lush excluded) do have...

    Salax, you got rather more information from them than I even did. I wrote them about a year ago and got three emails with no information at all that warned me in the last paragraph not to publish any part of the email. I posted them here, if you search. That was all I needed to boycott them.

    I use this one too and have never had a problem.

    Salax, this is a hot topic here. I am going to link you to a recent thread, and you can see how heated the discussions can get. Some people truly believe that you cannot and other people just as strongly believe and have experienced that this is so. In the end, you will have to figure out which is the truth for you. It appears to boil down to...

    The things= about carmex is that it is not hard and waxy when you put it on and it stays on a lot longer. It is more like a balm, but it has the perfect consistency and it sticks. It also has a nice vanilla-menthol kind of smell to it. I use it instead of lipgloss and I have used it for years. There is nothing else that even comes close IMO.

    Our city water supply got contaminated with e coli. a few years ago. The contamination was mild (if there is such a thing) and tended to affect people in the category you are talking about (elderly, small children and people with compromised immunity). A warning was issues fairly late. Even so, not many people got sick enough to go into the hospital...

    Thank you for posting this!

    The very best out there IMO is carmex. It comes in pots and tubes and you can get it at Target or Walmart.

    Oh yes! Those brick like, rock-hard rice loaves will be confiscated and destroyed at the border by the GFDA by a special haz mat team!

    If you use more upscale brands, you will want to check out: Chanel lipsticks and lip glosses All Nars. Everything, including nail polish Most Smashbox (not mascara) Lots of Guerlain products (see posted list here-- search) including mascara T. Leclerc products 100% pure cosmetics (not mascara) Some Clinique and Lancome (search here) For toiletries...

    Not for OPI. But I can tell you that NARS (16$) and Honeybee Gardens (7$) are both gluten-free.

    Thanks MG-- that is good to know. I suspect it applies to food mostly.

    Right-- almost all Lindt has malt in it from barley-- at least the standard bars you get here, as well as the little balls. I have a friend who was on the commission that drew up the EU standards for boilermakers/ furnaces, so I know that they made serious efforts with the formation of the EU to set "universal standards." I imagine they did this with...

    The recent thread on Cadbury's got me to thinking about how different countries seem to have different standards for whether or not something can be considered gluten free. Here is what I have noticed so far-- please correct me if this seems wrong or out of date: Australia seems to have the strictest (most conservative) rules about labeling. For example...
  15. Lisa16
    Oh! I had a thought about these. It may be that cadbury's has slightly different formulae for these, depending on the country. So if the ones in the US are safe to eat, that might not hold true for UK, Australia or Canada. It is easy to forget we are a multinational group here and that many companies are multi-national too.

    Thank you for posting this because I have been told many times by health food store workers that this bread is safe for celiacs. I always tried to set them straight, but sometimes they were exptremely insistent and swore that they know a so and so who is celiac can eat it. No way! This bread is dangerous because they tend to put it right in there with...

    Riceguy, the music is divine! Some of them I didn't know but I looked at them on youtube. My favorite is the Tubthumping. It captures the heroic nature of our existence. Do you work in a music store or something? BTW What's wrong with Scott tissue? It is about the best out there for certain situations; plus it is a subtle homage to the founder...

    Oh yes! Deely bobber on the heads like antennae and costumes made from lots of squiggly balls! But we need a better color. All the pictures of villi that I have seen show them as kind of a grey-white color. Not very happy. Violet villi?? But then they might clash with Danny. Have been humming the theme song all day! A doo-doo run run,...

    The cheerleaders could be "the happy villi." Danny duodenum and the Happy Villi! The trick will be the cheerleader costumes. How do you get them to have happy villi without looking like over-sized condoms? I guess you couldn't use hats with a single villus/um (not sure of singular form) on top. Love the Chinese new year intestine idea! And it...
  20. Lisa16
    Ooh! I almost forgot the cheerleaders! What will their uniform be?
  21. Lisa16
    Oh yes-- wearing pink tights, no less... with high top chockie taylors. Theme music for Danny to dance to?
  22. Lisa16
    Oh! The university will be called GFU and it will specialize in food science, medicine, culinary arts and history (because you have to have histopry or its not a university!) And it will be staffed entirely by celiacs-- lord knows there are enough of us here to do it! What mascot will we have? And what will the theme music be?
  23. Lisa16
    Yes, Jestgar-- you nailed it. I have gotten sick twice from Pf Chang's (2 different locations, both times mild and both times when they were very busy.) We have stopped eating there. Once you get used to it, it really doesn't take that much longer to make your own soup or grind your own steaks to make ground beef and it is totally worth it for the peace...

    Hi Steph! I hope you are feeling better today! Like you, I seem to be getting more sensitive of the gluten-free diet and have to keep eliminating stuff. I always thought maybe it was just that being constantly glutening masked the other sensitivities and that now the gluten is gone, I am noticing the other things. So far I have lost dairy (that is...

    There are pills that are supposed to bind to gluten called "gluteneze." I have used this, but I don't trust them enough to flat out eat something with gluten using them. I love the idea of a bright green luminescent spray! I bet lots of people would have it on their persons-- hair, clothes, skin.... it would really be interesting.
