    Thanks Karen, this is great information! I'll check out Wet 'n Wild, and Avon. I knew about Avon, but stopped buying it because it meant I had to anticipate what I was going to need, and sometimes you just need a new eyeshadow.

    I've been thinking I need to go to a completely naturally gluten free diet to get my TTGs down, like you said because it's only gluten free down to that 20 ppm, so maybe I'm just REEEEEAAALLLLY sensitive. that's so hard to do though. I guess it's back to chicken, quinoa, and veggies/fruits for me!

    So last year or so, I noticed that when I went to get my nails done, and I was stuck with my hands and feet in the blow dryer UV things, I was reading that spray that rapidly sets your nails as a "just in case"...and it had hydrolyzed wheat protein in it...well when they ever sprayed my feet with that you better believe I didn't breathe for about 5 minutes...

    Ok, so I'm posting again, because one post that you posted (above) made me cringe. Kim, you CANNOT only eat dinner. You are slowing your metabolism to a crawl when you do that. Remember mom said, 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day'? well she's RIGHT! when you wake up, your metabolism has been slowed down by sleeping. You need to eat first...

    Ah....I hate to say I feel good when I read all these posts...because I think A LOT of us are in the same boat. Same with me. I was about 20 lbs overweight when I was diagnosed 3 years ago. When I started the diet, I immediately lost 10! woohoo! But then once I started adding new things back into my diet, like gluten free bread, any starches that I found...

    Breakfast: yogurt and fruit, sometimes some Mary's Gone Crackers for more protein. Chia seeds are excellent, and filling, they make you feel full for a long time. Sometimes on the weekends I'm adventurous, and make gluten free crepes, they're SO easy: 2 eggs 1 c skim milk 2 tbsp butter melted 1/3 c white rice flour 1/3 c corn starch 1/2 tsp salt...

    I had a really bad reaction to Uno's a few months ago as well. They had added some newish items to their menu, one of which was chicken breast rolled with broccoli, feta, tomatoes, and garlic, with mashed potatoes. it was very good! except I got violently ill while still in the restaurant. I was so disappointed. I've had their pizza numerous times and...

    I think that sometimes bringing up old issues is actually useful, since ingredients change all the time, and something may have changed in the formulation of certain products that people are researching. I myself, just came across this because my boyfriend bought this seasoning mix and I didn't know if i could have it. have always steared clear because...

    Hello, I think I started to post something a few months ago, but now I have more details about the trip I'm taking to India in December. My boyfriend and I will be staying at the beginning of our trip with a friend's family who will be showing us around Mumbai, then we'll be on a guided tour for the middle of our trip, then to a wedding for the last day...

    I also think that since Nebo is creating much more interesting pizzas than someone like Uno's, you're not only paying for the gluten free option, but you're paying for the ambiance and variety of options above and beyond the norm. And yes, they do order their gluten free crust from a place in Maine, I believe. I spoke extensively with the bartender who...

    I recently ate at PF Chang's in Boston, and when the waitress brought me special gluten free soy sauce, I asked her if I could eat any of the other mixers they bring with the soy sauce (chili oil, mustard, vinegar, hot chili pepper chutney), and the waitress told me that the mustard was not gluten free. I asked her why, if it was just a cross contamination...

    Hi, I"m trying to alter a recipe for a dipping sauce that calls for rice vinegar, soy sauce adn sesame oil. I know i can exchange the soy sauce for gluten free soy sauce, but I'm not sure about rice vinegar and sesame oil. anyone know of brands that are gluten free? I was told that sushi is unsafe because of the vinegar they put on the rice to make it...

    I would say there are probably a few essential oils out there either in oil form or pill form that you can take to help with that situation. I guess in the old days, parents used to give castor oil to their kids to help them NOT be constipated, and to keep them regular. Also bananas have a lot of potassium, which can help that as well. as well as avocado...

    Thanks, Richard. I've told him about brushing/flossing before kissing...and I don't think he's convinced it would be a problem...but I think he's just being stubborn, and he doesn't really understand the consequences of a little bit of gluten lingering in HIS mouth. so when that happens, he gets a little peck instead. he does understand about CC though...

    Hi...ok so a friend asked me the other day, if because I am celiac and need to eat gluten free...did my boyfriend have to eat gluten free as well...especially when it came to, um...well sex. I"m sorry if this is TMI...but I'm just wondering about oral sex...does gluten get passed through to semen? I KNOW I KNOW...OMG I can't believe I'm asking this!!! ...

    cutting boards you should keep them separate! non-gluten-free and gluten free...and cooking pans as well. I would just make sure your family is aware how serious it is if they leave crumbs or anything around on countertops or anything. but just in case, just make sure that YOU cook your food in your designated pans, and just wash wash wash wash wash your...

    Well it sounds to me like Blondbombshell doesn't get the same type of reaction from eating wheat as a lot of us that have responded do with the cramping bloating and D, however the skin rash IS a symptom as well. But I think we have to remember that everyone's symptoms are going to vary, depending on the level of sensitivity we have to gluten. maybe she...

    Hi there, I think reactions to being glutened are varied. They can range from itching to severe nausea/diarrhea. I myself have noticed when I accidentally eat something with wheat in it, that within 30 minutes I'm really nauseous...I have never vomited from eating gluten though...and within another 30-45 minutes I have severe diarrhea. Sometimes extreme...

    Hi! I'm going through NAET right now actually. We've only done a few treatments, but I was sensitive to everything so far...we've done Calcium (anything milk derived) I was way sensitive to that, sugar, vitamin A, Iron, Egg mix (and anything to do with eggs or chicken including feathers! so no down comforters or parkas!) and probably some more that I...

    I have been to Chili's and ordered off of their gluten free menu...I got baby back ribs and rice and I think a veggie and I was fine...in fact it's probably the only time I've ever eaten there that I didn't feel sick afterwards (I hadn't been there since being diagnosed...) They are pretty good about the allergies, they have a special book of stuff you can...

    While I'm not aware of the "green slime" you speak of, I sometimes get a clear mucousy film with some bowel movements. it's occasional, certainly not an every day thing. Sounds to me...you mention having green poo as well...and whoever mentioned colonic transit time is absolutely correct. Google that "colonic transit time" or "green feces" and you can...

    Ooh, I have some of those Triumph Dining Cards, but I always forget to have them with me...I got them so if I ever traveled outside the country, but that's a great idea to have them for ethnic restaurants too. So, I read on a thread here that JP Seafood in Jamaica Plain, MA will cater to gluten free dining, however I had a snafu last night with a salad...
  23. superbeansprout
    Don't feel bad about being confused. I think we all had to deal with that. Is the shower a pot luck or is it catered? If it's a pot luck, I would suggest stopping by a Whole Foods or Shaws and get yourself a little something, or make a nice salad you know you can eat sans croutons and get some Ken's Steakhouse Ranch dressing (no gluten!), and maybe a little...

    wow, very cool! Now i want to go!

    I have to say, I ordered cupcakes from Kickass Cupcakes, and was slightly disappointed. They were VERY dense and heavy. tasted ok, but not great...I've made better ones out of a box that were less dense... They have a few flavors right now, Plain Vanilla cake with either vanilla or chocolate frosting, the Lucky (lemon cupcake with white chocolate buttercream...
