I have to go to the dentist. What do I need to know to stay gluten free during my visit?

Which lotions are gluten free?

I have heard Burt's Bees are gluten free but, which ones from them are gluten-free? They didn't write me back when I emailed them so does anyone have a list?

Which antiperspirants are gluten free?

Which dental floss is gluten free?

Is there a brand of sugar that has not come in contact with gluten during it's processing??

Starbucks coffee use to do the same to me until I stopped buying it, haven't had it for years because of that. It was not the dairy for me because I could buy the same from another coffee shop and it would be fantastic.

When do you start feeling normal in the mornings? This really effects my life.

I have probably had Celiac disease for about 20 years, just recently diagnosed. I'm still young though.

I still have the messed up mornings and then the nap ATTACK that puts me back to normal for the afternoon and evening. What is that?? When does this go away and you start feeling solid all day through?

I've been gluten free 2 months.

One of my family members use to throw up a lot before diagnosed with Addison's disease.

Alternatively, he could be being exposed to flour in the air after baking has ended somewhere out of his home. Or cross contamination some how..do you have both gluten free and gluten items in the kitchen, type of dish soap or shampoo he uses. It's pretty easy to get shampoo in your mouth when you wash your hair... I just have a feeling that this kid is still getting gluten in him from something... Are any of the foods he eats ran on the same lines as other cereal grains? What toothpast is he using, has he switched his toothbrush after he was ever glutened?

What type of floss?

Has he had all his vitamins checked?

My doctor told me it was because of a zinc deficiency and will go away when my zinc is back up as well as some mild psoriasis.

hi, I have been gluten free for about 7 weeks now and all of a sudden I have been digestive issues and can't stay away from the bathroom. I haven't had any gluten that I know of. I have been eating pears, fish, oranges,lettuce,natural peanut butter, peanuts, grapefruit slices...so I am real confused. It started about 4 days ago when I ate some new blueberries and new blanched almonds from a different store than usual. I continued to try quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat at this time which added to the problem but today I had no grains or seeds of any kind and still..

Is this part of the healing process? what am I doing wrong. I can't stand this.

no, just a redish dark pink ring. no layering.

Do you mean like somewhat irregular "patches", as if a fine layer has peeled off?

I have had red rings on my tongue occasionally off and on for the past few years or so. when I went gluten free, I had 1 ring on my tongue right in the front that stayed for the first month and now, at month and a bit, it seems to be gone.

Anyone else get rings on their tongue? what is this caused from?

I found this simple recipe online but will it work with gluten free flour? I currently can not use sorghum,soy,corn meal,rice flour.

What kind of gluten free flour, besides the ones above, could I make this bread with?

3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, more for dusting

I don't know if you are male or female but, your make up or kissing rubbing against someone with gluten containing make up would do it. Your toothbrush perhaps? If you are often glutened then you should be changing your toothbrush just as often...well I would. lip balm, lotions, shampoo conditioners, soaps, dish soap? I think our digestive tracts are more sensitive......how many years damage vs how much healing time..the villi have to grow back. Maybe gluten-free flours may be a culprit. You may have a soy intolerance...similar symptoms..theres traces of soy in alot of gluten-free flours. Rather irritating but whatever. I'd rather feel good than bad...even if I'm hungry. hmm...nailpolish. hair spray, gels..

Keep posting..

Does anybody know where I can buy almonds that have not been cross contaminated in Canada?

I was buying from Walmart -big, no lid, open bulk bin in the bread section....realized maybe I shouldn't be doing that.

Now I am purchasing from a health food store but, they don't know if they have been cross contaminated.

Have you had a glucose sensitivity test to see if you truly are hypoglycemic. Hypoglycemia is a disorder that you will have to treat with proper diet as well and depending on the cause it will probably never go away.

I was found to have been hypoglycemic on a test years ago at the time I had taken the test.

I have since then got a blood sugar monitor and I can become too low if I don't eat all the time.

My Naturopath doctor says it will go away for sure and is caused from Celiac disease.

I have read about others who had said they had hypoglycemia, then found out they were Celiac, stopped eating gluten and their hypoglycemia went away.

I mainly have problems with it in the morning but, again sometimes my numbers are within range but, I still feel terrible.

I can have the same numbers as in the morning, in the evening at times and feel perfect but not in the morning to afternoon.

Basically I have problems feeling normal from morning to afternoon then in the evening I start feeling normal finally with energy and the whole thing repeats itself again the next day, been happening since I was a child. Any ideas? I was thinking I should get my cortisol levels checked...?

Hey River*, I'm just learning about shopping gluten-free as my hubby was just diagnosed last week. I find that Thrifty Foods and Save-on-Foods has almost a good of selection as Lifestyle Markets. Definitely worth checking them out.

Mrs_Mama

Thanks! I will check them out.

Britas have charcoal water filters. Are they gluten free? What about their plastic container as well??

Hello, I would love to use your mascara.

I have a severe allergy to gluten.

Gluten can be found in grains.

Vitamin E and Alcohol in products can be derived from gluten.

Does your GINGERCOCOA MASCARA NATURELLE have gluten in it in any form?

They wrote back:

Our mascara and retractable waterproof liners are all gluten free.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

Thank you

The chemical compound potassium chloride (KCl) is used in judicial execution through lethal injection.

Is this lethal in larger amounts or used in execution for another reason

IMO, there's no coming back from true Addison's disease. The NIH says that by the time a person is diagnosed with Addison's "at least 90% of the adrenal cortex has been destroyed."

The solution is to take a physiological dose of steroids (hydrocortisone) and replace what your body is supposed to be making on its own. A gluten-free diet might help to keep Addison's under better control, but it's like type I diabetes or severe Hashimoto's... once the gland is destroyed, that's it.

Thank you, that gives me a better understanding of it.

If a person has Addisons disease caused by Celiac disease, will going gluten free heal the Addison's or greatly improve it maybe?

I'm a Celiac and I am bringing my 3 and 5 year old in to get tested for Celiac.

I don't want to make them go through more blood tests than they have to, so what else should be checked at the same time? Iron...B vitamins maybe?

Maybe a genetics test to see if they carry the genes?

Are there any gluten free stores on Vancouver Island, BC Canada?

I know there is one in Victoria, but anywhere else on the island??

Hi, My doctor told me I have Celiac Disease

I have been gluten free for 2 weeks now.

I feel much better.

I would like to know how long it takes until I won't need a nap during the day anymore?

I would also like to know how long until the hypoglycemia goes away completely?

I look forward to reading any responses.
