    Interesting.....wheat in the mascara!!! I don't use Clinique mascara, but I do use the waterproof Cover Girl brand. I'd better check the ingredients. Maybe this is why my eyes hurt after I wear it for a few hours. All this time I thought it was because of my dry eyes (due to Sjogren's - yes...lucky me....I have several autoimmune diseases).

    Yes!!! I've gone a little crazy with all my phone calls and emails to various companies just trying to get a handle on the products I've been using. To exfoliate, I now use a warm wash cloth and gently scrub my face ..... and it does not cost anything (-:

    This is what I've learned (by contacting Clingue) about their cosmetics: 7 Day Scrub Cream contains wheat germ. Blushwear contains corn and soy. Moisture Surge Extra contains soy and corn Facial Soap Extra Mild contains corn. All About Eyes contains barley and wheat bran extract. Clarifying Lotion 2 contains soy. Facial Soap Mild contains soy. Repairwear...

    I was given a bag of Ghirardelli Chocolate Hazelnut coffee. I've contacted Ghirardelli via email, but I'm not getting a response (and I can't find a phone number on the packaging). Does anyone know if this is gluten free? Thanks!!

    Thanks, Rice Guy! I just order the B12 from Source Naturals. By the way, I also noticed that I can get Digestive enzymes (which my doctor has recommended) several dollars cheaper from this website. Thanks for pointing me to it.

    Thanks, Rachel! This makes sense. So being gluten free may not be enough, is that correct?

    I recently told my doctor that my sense of smell of very, very keen. He just looked at me strangely and said that hopefully it will get better as my body heals. But....I'm like you......I can smell everything and it seems as though it stays in my nose to the point of irritation. Can that be possible (??).

    I keep hearing about Celiacs needing to use a separate toaster from the rest of the family. If you use a toaster OVEN, and make sure that the rack is clean, isn't that sufficient?

    Thanks again! I'm looking for a Sublingual tablet. The one you suggested looks like a regular tablet (that I probably won't completely digest). Do you know anything about this one: Open Original Shared Link

    I just bought a gluten-free hair color (Ecocolor). The instructions mention that you can develop allergies to things after repeated use, so they recommend a skin test before each use. Perhaps that is what has happened to you, and you may need to change brands (??).

    Dear Rice Guy: WOW! Where do you find the cyanide warnings! I just did a search under Source Naturals, but did not find any liquid B12 or sublingual B12.

    Dear Dessa: Thanks so much! What brand of liquid B complex do you use?

    I found this on the internet when doing a search on Celiac and Neurological problems. It is on thefooddoc.com site: Some admit to "bug crawling" sensation on their skin, something called vermiculation in medical terms but rarely asked about or given much thought by most doctors. Odd muscle movements under the skin that some call a "bag of worms" medically...

    Can you tell me please where you get your B12? I found something on the internet called TriVita Sublingual B-12, B-6 & Folic Acid tablet, and it sounds pretty good.

    Dear Little Miss Allergy: I'm afraid I might forget to check to see if you responded, so here's the phone number to order Metablance - 703-554-1130. You will be calling the Spa at Nova Medical Group in Ashburn, VA. I don't think you need to be seeing one of their doctors to order it. I hope this helps.

    I've recently stated taking something called Metabalance (prescribed by the Naturopathic that I see). I still wake up a lot at night, but I've noticed that it really calms me down during the day. My doctor said it will eventually help with my sleep after it has been in my system for awhile. Also, you may want to buy a white noise machine to put by your...

    I have not slept well for about 15 years now and thought it was all hormonal. I wake up every night about 3-4 times. I was diagnosed 6 weeks ago with Celiac. When I went back to the doctor yesterday for a follow-up, I mentioned that I'm still not sleeping well. He explained that it should get better as my intestines heal and my body gets back on track...

    Thanks for the tips about headaches. I get shooting pains up the back of my head sometimes. I think it may be because of my posture at the computer. And when I exercise at the gym, I look UP at the TV screen - probably not a good idea. I also think that some foods trigger headaches.

    My doctor told me to stay away from wine for at least a year. This is how long it will probably take for my gut to heal. He also told me to try to avoid peanuts, dairy, and soy. Even though they don't contain gluten, they can aggrevate the gut.
