    It doesn't matter what consistency it is when you ship it to them.

    I checked on the Estrothin and I don't think it is right for me. First I am not menopausal yet, and also it contains stevia and I've recently tried that and had a very bad reaction to it. Most of the other ingredients are in the stuff I am taking. Thanks for the encouragement though. I was starting to think that I was absolutely alone here. I mean most...

    Okay, I guess it is just me who is trying this Isagenix thing. I was kinda hoping for at least one other person who might be on it... Anyhow, I am on my 8th day, and I am getting frustrated because I am still at 4lbs lost. My husband is trying to be encouraging, and says it is because it is that time of the month for me and I have some water retention...

    You are not wrong, I agree with the contaminated by oats thought and I am not saying they are gluten free, I am just saying that we didn't notice any symptoms. There is a big difference there. I would not recommend that anyone on a gluten-free diet eat them. I am only saying that for us the reaction was so minimal as to not be noticed, that does not mean...

    All of the Kinnikinnick breads/bagels/etc. taste much better if you keep them frozen and thaw in the microwave right before toasting. The plain and cinnamon raisin bagels are good, we haven't tried the sesame.

    You have been gluten free for 4 months, and that is more than enough time to heal enough to show negative on a blood test, yet not quite long enough for most to feel symptom free. I know it is frustrating, but after years of damage you have to cut your body a little slack and give it time to feel better. What are your symptoms now? I would like to...

    Theoretically you could be having a gluten reaction 6 days later, but I would say it is unlikely to be as bad as you described. It is more likely that you have gotten yourself a nasty stomach virus. I hope you feel better soon. BTW, we made the same mistake with the Puffins cereal years ago. It is oats that makes it not gluten free, right? Not everyone...

    I used to, but now I know that they just don't realize how serious it is (even though I have told them a hundred+ times!) and they don't think about other people's needs before their own. They have been living fairly clueless for a long time, and it isn't so easy to teach a 60-something person a different way of doing things if they don't care to learn it...

    I agree that there is a lot of confusion regarding the terminology used to describe food reactions. You yourself misquoted Scott (Admin) quite a few posts back when he said that food intolerances can cause symptoms that mimic Celiac and you responded by saying: And the article you quote even talks about food allergies and intolerances as if they are...

    If your boyfriend's toiletries contain gluten, and you spend anytime touching him anywhere on his body, then you are getting gluten on your hands and unless you wash your hands everytime you touch him, then you could be ingesting gluten. I assume you sleep together (in the literal and non-literal sense), so there is a high risk there. Also I agree with...

    He brushes his teeth before you kiss? Are you sure he is careful about crumbs? Are all of his lotions and body products gluten free too?

    Sounds like you are being played to me.

    Do you live with people who have gluten foods in the house? This can be a very large source of contamination.

    It can takes months for healing. It may take a while for him to feel more energetic and for his rash to clear (if the rash is caused from gluten). I wouldn't jump the gun on additional allergies. It is probably hard for him to not be allowed to eat his favorite foods and you both need time to get used to feeding him a gluten and dairy free diet. Later...

    It was hard at first to get my family and inlaws on board with the gluten-free diet for myself and my kids. After 4 years my husband is doing much better. He rarely forgets about the gluten in foods, he just doesn't think it should be an issue if he wants to eat a gluten containing food at home. I get very nervous about it, because he is not very careful...

    I was turned onto this program by a gluten free friend and have been on it now for 4 days. In the first 3 days I have lost 4lbs already. It is a supplement program that uses a lot of cleansing herbs and vitamins to detox your body. It cleans out your system and helps you start burning the fat. I still have over 40lbs to lose and after 4 years of being...

    I tried a rice protein powder that I got from Whole Foods, I can't recall the name of it, but it was NASTY. It tasted horrible and didn't blend well with anything. It was also a little on the gritty side and I can't stand anything gritty in my mouth, especially drinks. I'll see if I can find out the name of it for you. I have never seen the hemp ones...

    Thank you for checking into this for me. I am going to address each question separately: All of the whey protein mixes contain stevia, except the plain and it is on the label for all the flavors. Same with the soy protein. It tastes chocolatey, but not very sweet. I like it better that way. The strawberry tasted VERY sweet and that is...

    Okay, I have never used stevia before, until yesterday, and I have some questions here. I got some protein shakes to supplement for breakfast. I need to eat a healthy breakfast, but don't have much time, and since I can't do dairy, it was suggested I try a good egg white protein powder. So I got Jay Robb's egg white protein powder and had my first shake...

    I have been using the Jay Robb egg protein powder (chocolate & strawberry) for 2 days in a row now. I felt sick yesterday with a bad headache, low energy, dizziness and body ache that started within a 1/2 hour of having a strawberry shake for breakfast and pretty much lasted the rest of the day until I took a pain pill and went to sleep. Today I...

    I don't know if it is gluten free or not, but have you ever used a lavender soap before? I ask this because I am topically allergic to lavender in soap/shampoo products. It makes my skin so dry and itchy. I had never used lavender products before and about 7 years a go I bought some shampoo, lavender scented, and everyday the itching got worse. Now...

    I just checked out the website for this place Everybody Eats, and I want some baguettes! Does it really taste like french bread? Do they do mail order or online orders? It didn't look like it on their site, but what I wouldn't give for some gluten-free french bread!!! It is almost worth a trip to NY just to eat there... They DO ship overnight with...

    You can order them direct from the manufacturer for $5.50-$6.50 per mix. I don't know how much shipping will cost you, but if you buy a bunch it will probably still be cheaper than $9. Open Original Shared Link

    I don't know if anyone specifically addressed this issue yet, since I am only on page 3 of 7 in reading this thread, but I had to comment here. IMResident makes the statement of "if you get a positive result from enterolab it is likely to be 85% false positive and 15% true positive, making it a truly useless test. ", and this is wrong. He cannot...

    Dingogirl, I have to admit that I have used the "allergic" to gluten phrase myself quite often. People understand allergy, but have no clue about intolerance other than lactose intolerance and it is NOT the same thing. When I say gluten intolerance they always respond with, "well can't you just take a pill for that"...But if I say allergy, then they seem...
