Tiffany - Thanks for your information. I have used MK for years. I have been gluten-free for just a year. The longer I'm gluten-free the more reactions I seem to have when I do get glutened! Lately after switching to the MK Full Coverage Foundation my face, especially around my mouth and chin, is constantly broken out with bumps. They don't get heads...

Rachel, We sound like we should be buddies! I did get better right away then about 3 months into this I went downhill. Now I find out I should stay away from eggs, dairy, tomatoes, and peppers. I had to change all my beauty products including hair gel, hair color, makeup, soaps. I'm still looking for other sources of hidden gluten. I'm going to try...

O.K. I'm in tears now. Just got results from Enterolabs, I have gluten intolerance genes but not celiac genes but do have moderate malabsorption of 866 and IgA 20 and Ttg 21 after 6 months of diligent gluten-free diet. So do I have Celiac or Gluten Intolerance and what the _ _ _ _ difference does it make?!! Where do I get help with nutritional advice...

To answer your question, I was gluten-free because I had given up on medical doctors after years of complaints of abdominal pain, diaharea, migrane type headaches, fatigue, high blood pressure and low back pain. Most of these symptoms didn't have a reasonable explanation for their cause and I was just being given meds to cover up the symptoms. I went to...

I was tested in Feb. IGA was 11(equivocal) and IGG was 5(neg.) but I had been gluten-free for 2 months. Dr. adjusted my thyroid- I was hypothyroid, increased iron, vit.Dand Calcium. I felt great for about 2months. Now I've started in with symptoms again but have remained gluten-free. I also have 2 daughters with celiac disease. I haven't found a dr....

Thanks celiac3270 and Wandering. How do I go about getting the Delphi list in the Palm format? or the list format?

I just previewed Clan Thompsons gluten-free products list. Has anyone used the palm version? Is it reliable? Are ALL the items on his list safe to use???? I need guidance in my shopping to make it easier. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. It really feels good to hear from EXPERIENCED celiacs about what is safe and what is not. When you eat something that's not gluten free, how fast do you feel symptoms? Do you know right away when you've eaten hidden gluten? How long does it take to get back to normal?

I thought artificial color and flavor, including carmel, were on the NO list. I just read a list from NFCA(National Foundation for Celiac Awaremess) that had artificial color and flavor, carmel color, navilla, and maltodextrin on the SAFE additives and Ingredients list. HELP, I'm trying to learn and am getting more confused! What about dextrin as opposed...

I have been gluten-free for three months. Most symptoms have gone away. Recently I used a scalf treatment and shampoo for thinning hair. The next day the diaharea, back pain, and headache were back. Could this have been a result of absorbing the wheat protein in the shampoo?? I have examined all the foods that were eaten and haven't found anything else...

I am a retired schoolteacher, age 57. I've had 28 years of symptoms with various diagnosis, IBS, Ulcerative colitis, arthritis, trigeminal neuralgia, anemia, depression, high blood pressure, diahrea, etc. I have always been slightly overweight but have suffered many of the other symptoms associated with Celiac. My doctors always treated individual symptoms...
