    Hi. I was just logging on the forums to ask this very question and found this thread. I'm due to be having impressions done to have a night guard made, and was wondering about possible gluten in the impression material. Apparently this can be an issue. Does anyone know if there is an alternative substance? Thanks!

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been doing. Used a couple of kinds of disinfectants, and I DID have a band-aid on while washing the chicken, but the washing knocked it loose. I go through SO many band-aids what with washing my hands so many times a day! But, yes, good advice (and I'll definitely let you all know when/if I hear back from the New Skin...

    Anyone know if the New Skin Brand Liquid Bandage is gluten free? Their website has a FAQ about their Scar Therapy product and says that is gluten free, but says nothing about the Liquid Bandage. I've tried the "Contact Us" form, but no word back yet. Reason I need it -- cut my thumb yesterday assembling my gift for my husband. Then, I stupidly washed...

    Raven and SGWhiskers, thank you both for the support and advice. I think you're right, it must be CC. But I'm still having to really struggle to figure out HOW. I do have separate hand towelsk, condiments, etc.. My husband doesn't bake with flour and we clean any "glutened" area well and are careful about dishes, dishwasher, etc. SGWhiskers - wow...

    Very glad to hear this, thanks for sharing! Outback is the only place near us that seems to work with gluten-free needs, so I'm trying to work up my nerve to make that my first "dining out" attempt since going gluten-free. I haven't called our local place yet, but I definitely will before trying it. If I get brave enough to try, I'll let you all know how...

    Okay, so I've now been gluten-free for about 6 or 7 weeks (sorry, don't have my calendar in front of me ). The first three weeks, I went through lots of detox symptoms, but also felt amazingly BETTER underneath and was very hopeful. Lots of symptoms I have suffered my whole life went away (and even things I didn't realize were "symptoms" but thought...

    Ugh!! So sorry. It's depressing how many people just don't understand or worse, don't care. I haven't been brave enough to eat out yet, and I dread what it's going to do to damage the family traditions. I was already very limited in what I could get a restaurants, but at least I could usually find SOMEthing, but now with the gluten thing, I can't...

    wheenleezdryver - Sorry you can relate, but thanks for the sympathy! sandsurfgirl - Thank you AGAIN for your support and suggestions. I've added your food recs to my shopping list for today's journey to Whole Foods. My mother has now been the first to take a blood test and hers came up "normal", but I'm pretty sure either that's wrong or we're just...

    Thanks to all for the help and good wishes. curiousgirl - Yep, me, too. srall - your situation sounds very similar to mine. Encouraging to hear you're making it work so far. I'm trying, but apparently got slammed somehow 48 hrs ago. Finding out just what it's like to "get glutened" and still waiting to see how long it lasts. So far all I can...

    i-geek - Yeah, I'm afraid we may end up having to make the house gluten-free eventually. Right now I'm holding off until I can get my son tested and see if he is going to have to go gluten-free as well, because I don't want to strip him of it for days at a time, then let him eat out on the weekend and end up really sick after he's inadvertantly been detoxed...

    First off, thanks to everyone who's already been so supportive already, this board is wonderful. Okay, so yesterday marked my 3 week point being gluten free. Wow, what a ride it's already been. There have been many positives already, and I'm hopeful for more over the next months. I'm much more limber, my head is clearer, I can eat and then go...

    srall and sandsurfgirl - thank you both so much for the replies. It's very reassuring to hear that others have gone through the same and far worse. I am definitely going to stick it out and I'm tentatively hopeful that life may be a whole lot better on the other side. sandsurfgirl - you may be right that the candida is only a side symptom of the larger...

    Hello! I'm new here, and relatively new to this whole subject (though I've been reading like mad). For 9 years now I've been on a yeast/candida control diet (no fruit, no refined flowers or refined oils, no sugar, no dairy, nothing fermented, no caffeine, etc.). I have not been tested for Celiac Disease, but I and my family exactly fit the profile...
