Hi I've been gluten free since July and for the first couple of months I was fine but I've been getting steadily worse since. I have a really bad stomach, feel sick, can't eat. The only thing I've found just now is that my leave-in conditioner has hydrolyzed wheat protein in it which I know is gluten. I've been using it since end of August... could...

ARCHIVED Jelly (jam) - Gluten Free?
SiouxsieKim replied to SiouxsieKim's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I see well I didn't know what you call it having never been to America... maybe that's why I was confused. Either way, thanks for your advice.

I agree the most common one is "But a little bit won't hurt, will it?" or "surely you can cheat just this once" as though its just a weight loss diet I'm on! They don't realise the damage a little bit of gluten can cause. But if people care and they want to know what its about they will go out of the way to find out. My boyfriend read a book by a dietician... -
ARCHIVED Having Mixed Emotions
SiouxsieKim replied to Live2BWell's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am new to being gluten free myself and have had little or no help from the doctors. For as long as I can remember (pretty much from not long after I came off baby milk and on to solid foods) I have suffered from intestinal problems. I have been to many different doctors and nearly always been told IBS. I even got told it was childhood migraine at one...
