ARCHIVED Nice Eyelashes!

I didn't get the long eyelashes..... waaaaa. I want them. Susan -
ARCHIVED Are Yeast Infections Common With Celiac?
pixiegirl replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I wrote a long post a few years back on my yeast infections... I had them for like 6 months straight, no let up. I was even sent to a clinic in boston for Rx resistant yeast infections.. wow there were so many people there with them. Scary. I was itchy and raw for months, really at my wits end when I started hunting for solutions to this in the online... -
ARCHIVED Celiac Magazine! Vote! Hurry!
pixiegirl replied to highrentsmile's topic in Publications & Publicity
I'm a huge pet lover as well, but I totally agree, there are so many different pet publications. I voted for the allergy one of course and it was winning but not by a whole bunch so please go vote! There are so many different allergies/food sensitivites that I believe this would have a huge readership, especially if done by Martha Stewart. Susan -
Oh I've never even heard of strawberry lemonade but it sounds good and its flavors both my daughter and I like! Its blended? We'll have to try it. I always drink the same thing at the 'buck.... "grande vanilla latte with extra foam please" I told my daughter about the blended vanilla bean and chocolate chip and she said we need to check out the stawberry...

Vanilla bean and chocolate chip??? My daughter is going to be devastated! There is so much she can't have because of peanut, nut and now gluten allergies/celiac. She loves both of these flavors. I'm not a huge frappachino fan but what other blended cold drinks do they have that a 16 year old might like... I need to be able to make suggestions. ...

I just wanted to say hi to all the new young people on the list (no I'm not a teen... but I have one... does that count?). My daughter has a life threatening peanut allergy and its allergic to nuts too and now she had a positive Celiac test. (I have celiac and have been gluten-free for at least 5 years). Even though all of the meals I cook are gluten...

ARCHIVED 60 Years Old And Self-diagnosed
pixiegirl replied to Discovery's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I too was initially diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome... it seems like a lot of us are... I'm curious if it is a complete misdiagnosis or do a lot of people with Celiac also have CFIDS? Susan -
I think they may be Calbe's.

ARCHIVED Single Celiac Seeking Single Celiac
pixiegirl replied to GF in IL's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Why do you want to date only Celiacs? I've got to tell you in my experience (which is vast) of trying to find the right person over many decades... I'd certainly not limit myself to any small group it really limits the chances of finding someone. I've got a wonderful non Celiac boyfriend now (6+ year relationship) and he knew me when I was a gluten eater... -

It took me a while but I finally found myself a good doctor that seems to understand Celiac. However my daughters pediatrician doesn't really get it. Based on my Celiac he ordered a test for her and it came back "mildly positive" and he told us that mildly positive doesn't really mean positive. Well in my book it does! He also said, oh wow you don't...

ARCHIVED Everyday Minerals - Great gluten-free Mineral Make-up!
pixiegirl replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think I'm the only one not joining the cult. I feel like an outsider now I don't like it as much as Bare Minerals... I ordered a lot of stuff and gave most of it to my daughter. I kept a light pink finishing powder and the lipsticks I ordered. And I do like the concealer (took me 4 trys to get the right color). But over all I feel the powder... -
I saw only part of the show but I did happen to see the part where they were talking about gluten intolerance. I didn't like Oprah just sitting there but I also didn't think the doctor did Celiac or gluten intolerance any help. She said, (not an exact quote) that if you have trouble with gas and burping take grains out of your diet for a few days ......

How does the pink on your eyes look? I never look good with that Im a blonde with sort of bloodshot eyes (contacts) and when I put pink on my lid I feel like it looks like I have pink eye! I'm too heavy handed I guess. Susan -

ARCHIVED Everyday Minerals - Great gluten-free Mineral Make-up!
pixiegirl replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yeah, I hate companies that use DHL and I can't figure why they do. With DHL you can pay for 2 day delivery however DHL won't guarantee 2 day delivery... if they don't guarantee it why am I paying for it? I guess they must be really cheap. I don't know for sure but I don't like them. I paid for my second batch of make up to be shipped 2 day. That... -
Well at least you've found out that going gluten-free is helping. And like the above poster said..... you have not been gluten free long enough to get a real handle on it. Although I felt better on day 3 of being gluten-free it took months and months for most of my symptoms to go away. However, I was never 100% better being just gluten-free. And so...

ARCHIVED I Miss My Thai Food!
pixiegirl replied to imsohungry's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I love Thai! We have a few restaurants around us and I went into one of them between lunch and dinner to talk to them about gluten-free. One of the people there spoke OK english and I sat down with her and the cook and we discussed it. A lot of Thai food is naturally gluten-free. I explained to them about the transfer of gluten-free in oil, now they... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Has Now Affected My Marriage
pixiegirl replied to MrMark's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm sure your letter is serious to you, but really! If you had a different medical condition where say... you had to walk 3 miles a day or die would she say, "hey its taking time away from me I don't want you to walk anymore?" Of course not. This is a serious medical condition that can make you chronically ill and shorten your life unless you remove gluten... -
ARCHIVED Everyday Minerals - Great gluten-free Mineral Make-up!
pixiegirl replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks, I'm going to read the descriptions and try again. I'm going to order a bit darker this time, so thanks for the tip about mixing them. My bathroom is going to be filled with pots! It was easier when I used just a single liquid foundation but with dry skin and a lot of moisturizer it would literally just slide off after a few hours. I've... -
ARCHIVED Everyday Minerals - Great gluten-free Mineral Make-up!
pixiegirl replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I did get a sample kit and I asked the customer service people at Every day minerals to help me choose. I sent them a number of pix of myself that showed my skin. I know the color on a computer monitor isn't exact but this pix were taken in daylight with no make up and were pretty right on. Oh well! One of two of the foundations I can sort of use... -

pixiegirl replied to Mango04's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just got my first order, I've not tried any of them yet but the foundation colors look a little more yellow then I thought they would. Ugh, I'm not sure any will be right for my skin. I got some brushes and stuff for free gifts and I received 2 eyeshadows that I know I don't want. They are unopened, if someone would like them I'd be happy to put them... -
ARCHIVED Lasagna Noodles
pixiegirl replied to celiac-mommy's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I've be gluten-free a long time and never have made lasagna since I've been gluten-free. What's timely about this post is that I was at Whole Foods the other day and bought Tinkyada lasagna noodles! When I was eating regular noodles before celiac, I'd use regular noodles and pretend they were no boil. I'd make the whole concoction a lot more watery...
