    maybe i'm being a little too cautious, i dunno... I just didnt like what was said on the nivea site about the suppliers, and I've been soooo sick lately, I just want to be careful I'm not so much worried about the lotions I wear, unless it's lipstick, but I dont want to kiss his cheek and wind up getting glutened :S I found something tonight in...

    my boyfriend just bought this nivia face cream, that I understand is gluten-free but they don't check their raw suppliers. is there any brand that's easy to find that's 100% safe? thanks!

    oh it's definitely worth it... I'm just stumped on what I have to do. I mean it stinks to have to ask my bf to brush his teeth before kissing me I guess I'm still just bummed out about the whole thing

    i guess i just dont know enough about it to be honest. I assumed that if it wasnt celiac and just an intolerance that I wouldnt have to worry about things like my boyfriend's chapstick and getting him to brush his teeth after a beer... so i should still do that? I mean like, if it isnt killing the villi in my intestines, and only making me miserable,...

    you're right... but what do you tell people? people ask if i have celiac, and I dont have a straight answer... when I give the big explination that i'm probably just gluten intolerant people tend to pester me to eat it anyhow, saying one bite wont kill me... maybe i just need to be more assertive! I've done gluten elimination and reintroduced it numerous...

    so i really just cant trust any test? the thing with me is that I'm very much like what llama3 was saying... without a diagnosis, i start to think its all in my head, and then i eat whatever i want and within a day or two, i'm miserable for about a month. if you cant trust any test, what do you do?

    well I got it back today.... negative. My anti-gliadin was 9 i really dont get it, but thats 2 negative tests now. i dont understand why I feel so lousy with gluten if it's not showing up on tests. but maybe it is in fact something else, cause I still have lousy moments on a gluten free diet... not very often though

    well i guess i dont have to worry after all... my enterolab test results came back negative... maybe i'm just gluten intolerant, who knows. but it sure doesn't explain why I react to the smallest bit of gluten! so confusing
  9. joyjoy
    great advice! I'd love to just find a place that's near a market and eat fruit all week
  10. joyjoy
    thanks all! I guess I should at least wait for my enterolab results before getting ahead of myself. I really hope it's negative and only a gluten intolerance. it'll be so much easier to just avoid gluten rather than trying to avoid every little molecule. I just need a vacation!
  11. joyjoy
    I know

    my bf and I are talking about taking an all inclusive trip soon, but I have to admit I'm pretty scared. I've never had the biopsy, but I'm very sensitive to gluten and really want to avoid it. I went to costa rica this past summer and stuck to eating fruit from the street markets that I prepared myself, and salads when we went for dinner in restaurants...

    thanks! I'll check that site out for sure! thanks so much

    I guess just because I usually eat the salsa and feel ok. but I never eat corn chips. I'm just starting to get very discouraged. it feels sometimes like I cant eat anything. sometimes I wonder if it's even wheat or if I just react to everything I'm sorry! just venting!
  15. joyjoy
    do these chips contain gluten? I had a small handful tonight without even thinking and a couple hours later I'm in tears, blowing everything out of proportion again. I had some canned beans before that with some salsa, but I don't think it could be that?
  16. joyjoy
    I don't know, but I've sifted through some threads here where people have said they won't use it anymore?
  17. joyjoy
    ok so I gather from the threads I've read that Chapstick may not be gluten free?? my bf loves cherry Chapstick
  18. joyjoy
    my levels are great! but I eat a ton of bananas
  19. joyjoy
    well I was mostly gluten free during that time. every time I slip it's obvious that gluten isn't doing me any favors. so I'm back now! thanks for such a wonderful resource
  20. joyjoy
    wow! I had forgotten about this thread! two years later and I'm still having the same issues. (worse even!) it's definitely gluten, no doubt in my mind anymore. I'm waiting on tests from enterolab right now, but it almost doesn't matter what they say. I know gluten is the source of all my problems. I'm just so surprised to find a post of mine from 2 years...
  21. joyjoy
    microwaves???? seriously? what if your food is covered?
  22. joyjoy
    oh good! I think it was Vaseline intensive care that he used that day so it must have been a fluke. he just bought a new one and I haven't inspected it yet lol is there a post somewhere that has the hidden names of gluten? I've had a little this week by accident and I feel sooooo bad! I'm really going to have to crack down on things!
  23. joyjoy
    darnit! I just lost my entire post anywho thanks so much, that makes alot of sense. so if stainless steel is ok, do i need to buy new pots? all our pots are stainless steel... I think I just need a new cutting board since all ours are plastic or wood. I'm not sure if I even got a special one that no one would use it... my mother i'm sure...

    Hi everyone, I'm in the middle of waiting for my enterolabs results, but after being gluten-free for a year and slipping last nov, and then going gluten-free again and accidently eating some this week, it's pretty obvious to me that I have a problem with gluten. I've been reading the boards and I see people talking about having separate pots and pans...
  25. joyjoy
    but if they're testing for antibodies, isn't the test going to be more accurate if I have gluten in my digestive tract when I take the test? I just don't want to test negative and always wonder if it's because my system was all cleaned out. I don't mind eating a bit of gluten if it will help in the long run.
