    So I have a question about hair dye and fake nails.. Is hair dye okay to use?? How do I know what kind my hairdresser is using? Does it matter if you just get foils as it doesn't go directly onto your scalp?? Also what about gel/solar nails? Is that gluten free?? How am I to know?! Help!

    I've been gluten free for about a month, and it's getting way easier to deal with making gluten free stuff to eat. But lately I've been absolutely exhausted. I'll sleep in until 11 somedays, then get up and do what I need to do, then by 9 pm i'm just wiped. Sooo tired. I work shifts, and the nights shifts are a killer, I feel like I will fall asleep at any...

    This is a HUGE question that has been bothering me... If the ingredients list "spices" or "seasonings" can gluten hide in those???? I was told that yes, companies can hide gluten in the product if it just says spices b/c it isn't actually disclosing what is in the spices... what?! why would they do that? i've been buying organic stuff that lists all the spices...

    How come you don't eat sugar?? It's okay for us isn't it??? And one more thing.. about the see's chocolates... can't we eat pretty much any chocolate as long as there's no gluten in it?? so much to learn

    Ok thanks that helps a lot.. but in the first response it says we have to worry about natural flavours???? I don't understand that b/c isn't natural flavour okay??? how do i know if some gluten is hiding in artificial flavours or colours tho?? or natural ones?? I'm confused for instance, lots of chocolate and candy has artificial colours/flavours in them...

    Hey everyone, I'm new to this website, and just diagnosed as Celiac a few weeks ago. I had a positive blood test and positive endoscopy, so I think I must be pretty severe... I have had symptoms like bloating and thinning hair for the past few years, but don't think I've actually been Celiac for too long. I have been researching and reading everything, and...
