    I found this website and think it could be useful for finding out about products and what they contain and whether there are any harmful ingredients. Open Original Shared Link

    Thanks for the replies ladies! I'm 47 so I'm dealing with aging skin too. I've got a double whammy however and have to avoid gluten AND soy. I'm finding soy to be even more difficult to avoid than gluten unfortunately and it's even harder to get info on soy. I know Bare Escentials make up line is safe but haven't found a good skin care line which is safe...

    I just got off the phone with a customer care rep who confirmed the entire line of Philosophy Miracle Worker contains gluten. The only exception to this is the retinoid pads. In addition I inquired about eye hope multi-tasking eye cream and this product also contains gluten... I am SO bummed. If anyone has a found a safe skin care line that actually...

    Thanks for the list. I'm already avoiding it but can't seem to get my family on board. My hubby as well as many friends insist that soy is a good form of protein and eat and drink protein drinks and bars frequently. I printed it out to show them. The fact that the majority of the soy produced is genetically modified should be enough to scare anyone even...

    Good for you Joni! It's always fun to be able to add a variety back into our diet and more importantly that you no longer show signs of diverticulitis. I am a big fan of Enterolab testing since I finally got some answers recently after YEARS of suffering with no answers from multiple GI physicians. None ever suggested going gluten free or anything free...

    You've had lots of great recommendations already. I am following a similar elimination diet although I also have eliminated eggs and yeast. It's hard but what I find helpful is cooking ahead and freezing smaller portions which can be pulled out and microwaved. I use the crockpot as well as the stove on weekends and don't really mess with much cooking during...

    Thanks so much for posting such good news. It gives me hope. I currently can't tolerate gluten, soy, dairy, eggs or yeast. Hearing this makes me feel like some day I will be able to add some variety into my meals again. Congrats!

    Thanks for the replies. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear on what I was asking. I do understand that I was high on everything and went gluten, casein and soy free even before I got the results back. I have notice a minor improvement in my symptoms but I believe there is a lot of healing which needs to take place. Since I received the results I have also eliminated...

    Julie, I'm new around these parts and other than this thread, I'm not familiar with what you have gone through but it sounds like a tough road. Have you ever had a colonscopy to check for microscopic colitis? I have MC and it goes hand in hand with multiple food intolerances. I'm not suggesting that you do have it but often times people with celiac...

    Glad to hear some of the symptoms are easing for you and good luck with the appointment. Enterolab does testing for gluten, soy, casein, chicken egg and yeast as well as genetic testing. You can order the test yourself without a script and you pay for the tests directly and some insurances will reimburse for the testing. I found it very helpful but...

    For whatever it's worth, I react more violently to soy than gluten. You may want to try eliminating soy. It's tough because soy is in everything including cosmetics but it made a huge difference for me. Also have you eliminated all dairy or only lactose. It could be a casein problem. I got testing through enterolab.com and it helped with the guess work.

    You could get tested through Enterolab for egg intolerance via stool testing. You would not need a doctor to order the test. I believe for only egg test the cost is $ 99 plus shipping to send the specimen back via ups.

    Hi all, I have received my results from Enterolab and will post below. Any feedback would be appreciated. My results of bloodwork were negative for Celiac but was told I have antibodies for it. I don't have the lab results however. I'm guessing from the description that I'm gluten sensitive and do not have Celiac disease but get confused when it comes...
