I'm having a hard time losing weight too. I'm 5'10 and at the moment yoyo between 165-170 lbs which is about 25 lbs more than I want to be. When I was diagnosed in December, I was hopeful that the weight would just come off by itself, but that hasn't happened. My Dr thinks that once my gut heals, it will be easier for me to lose. I also have...

ARCHIVED Adrenal Exhaustion And Celiac Disease
Minnie777 replied to Flor's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My Dr had me take an salivary Adrenal Stress Index test (Diagnos-tech lab) a couple of weeks ago and the result was "extremely high" cortisol. She was puzzled by the extreme results and she got back with the lab to discuss my test. They made me retake the test and I just mailed it back yesterday and I should have the new results in a week to ten days.... -
ARCHIVED Why Are Cosmetics So Frustrating?
Minnie777 replied to gfreecarboholic's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Dior, Tarte Cosmetics and most Benefit Cosmetics should be gluten free Dior takes the precaution to state that they can not guarantee that their products might not be cross-contaminated somewhere along the line. Cross-contamination is probably a slighter risk in cosmetics than in food ? My all time favorite mascara is Lancome Hypnose, but I never got... -
I take both Floravital yeast free(half dose only) and Flora liquid Calcium /Magnesium. Also: liquid Garden of Life Vitamin Code Multi, Hubner Silica gel liquid, liquid Glucosamin, lemon-flavored Norwegian cod liver oil (liquid in a bottle, not the capsules) all mixed together with water. It's not the best tasting cocktail, but it agrees with me and seems...

ARCHIVED Gluten-Free Organic Skincare
Minnie777 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My doctor wants me to not use any gluten containing skincare products because skin is part of the immune system and what is put on the skin will eventually end up in the body. I looked at my products, emailed several companies and found that quite a few of my products contained either wheat germ oil or hydrolyzed wheat protein. In the process of looking... -
I use Garden of Life Vitamin Code liquid. I'm recently diagnosed and still have absorption issues and a liquid multi is easier for me. It tastes rather nasty by itself, but I mix it with my other liquid supplements and a bit of juice and that makes it ok. I also tested positive to casein, eggs, soy, yeast and had to change most of my supplements From...

ARCHIVED Enterolab - Anybody Test Negativ?
Minnie777 replied to Minnie777's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you both for your replies, I appreciate it. I saw a new integrative Dr yesterday and she said she'd like me to avoid gluten, dairy, eggs, soy and yeast completely for 3 months. She suggested that, if I'm open to it, I get desensitized with acupuncture after 3 months and that hopefully I will be able to have egg, soy and yeast at least occasionally... -
ARCHIVED Enterolab - Anybody Test Negativ?
Minnie777 posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello, I'm new here and found out in November that I have gluten and casein intolerance. Testing was done by Enterolab. A few weeks ago I thought that it might be a good idea to see how I'm doing with soy and ordered the Egg, Yeast and Soy Sensitivity test. I just received the result and ALL THREE came back positive. Argh. I'm having a hard...
