	ARCHIVED NeosporinFernW replied to freeatlast's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I am one of those people who is allergic the Neosiporin. I found out years before my celiac diagnosis. I am allergic to neomyicinsulfate and I get a severe reaction no matter where I put it. Does not even have to be an open sore.

	ARCHIVED Losing Hope...FernW replied to kswan08's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms I will put my 2 cents in too. I had a negative blood test but had a positive biopsy, so I am definately a Celiac. That new "fad" is saving my life. I still have some of the problems you have and they don't know why, I have had a colonoscopy, fun fun, but that came out clean. So they said its IBS. I originally lost a lot of weight before diagnosis, which...

	Hot Dogs That Are Also Casein Free?FernW replied to RPM's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications Hebrew National is fine. I have to be free of both and that is the brand I eat since I know we (jews) don't mix meat and dairy. I have never ever eaten meat and dairy together even before diagnosis. Plus they are the best in my opinion so enjoy.

	ARCHIVED Almay MakeupFernW replied to Simona19's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I have had trouble with Almay makeup since I was young.

Give that a try so next time you can eat while watching the moving. I love popcorn while watching a movie. Glad Almay...
