I have a ton of RAL products (eyeshadows too!). I adore every one of them. My favs are Ruby Slippers and Strawberry Lips, with Secrets being a close 3rd place. The glosses are great too. You can't go wrong with RAL.

I've tried Udi's and Schar. I really like the Udi's but something in the ingredients gives me gas. My new discovery is Goodbye Gluten bread. My local Wegman's started carrying it. It's shelf stable and doesn't need to be toasted. I've tried the white bread and it's fantastic. It's a bit crumbly but not too bad. I've had turkey, PBJ on it. It's been sitting...

Prescription orabase pastes work well. My PCP gave me an RX but your dentist could too. Just dob it on with a Qtip before bed. It's gritty and gross tasting/feeling but it does help cut down the pain and longevity of a nasty sore.

Thought I'd post this in case anyone else did a search for the gluten-free status of Tri-previfem birth control pill. I searched here but didn't find anything. So, my pharmacist called the manufacturer today (9/17/13) to inquire about the pregelatinized starch ingredient and the company couldn't say whether it was gluten-free or not. The long story...

I just wanted to update this in case anyone else happens upon this thread in a search. I ended my gluten challenge that very day figuring it wasn't worth the symptoms, especially if this was related. The rash lasted another 2 or 3 days. The joint pain lasted about 4 or 5. The joint swelling in my fingers and feet lasted a solid week. I also noticed around...

I use the Cerave AM and PM and really like them.

Is there any other reason than celiac that would cause a tTg IgA to be even slightly elevated? Do "normal" people have some tTg IgA in their systems? The reason that I ask is that mine was tested recently. Now, I've been gluten-free since Nov 2011 and did (with advice from my doc and my own desire) a gluten challenge in July (I'm diagnosed NCGS). I only...

It doesn't itch per se but gets a bit prickly in spots (like the feeling of walking in tall grasses) mostly on my legs. I was reading on fifth disease and in adults it isn't uncommon to not have the slapped cheek look (which I don't) and for adult women to get joint pain, which I do have. But I don't and haven't had in the last few days a fever, or headache...

I am 12 days into a gluten challenge. Today I woke up with a lacy rash on my arms and legs (I almost look sunburn) and joint pain in my wrists, knees, and fingers. A bit of googling and I think it is the virus Fifth Disease. My kids don't have it but I've been taking them to swim lessons for the past two weeks so I'm exposed to lots of other kids. It doesn...

Currently free on Amazong for kindle e-book: Open Original Shared Link I haven't read it myself but it seems to have good feedback. Might be a good read for someone just beginning this journey.

I had considered that but I'm a daily dairy user and don't seem to have issues otherwise. This morning I had cereal with skim milk w/out any GI symptoms. Most days I have some dairy in my diet...milk, ice cream, cheddar cheese, greek yogurt.

No no red sauce. It was butter only.

Is there anything else I should be considering? Or should I out doubt to rest and just accept that reactions can and will be all over the spectrum? Can anyone relate?

I appreciate the response. Early on in this journey I definitely was aware that I could react to other things. But having been gluten-free for well over 1.5yr, I definitely know that I don't have any other food sensitivities. My reaction last night after the pasta was very distinct and very much in line with the experiences I had prior to being gluten-free...

Just a bit of background... 1. I've been gluten-free since Nov 2011 2. My celiac panel prior to going gluten-free was neg so I've been labeled NCGI 3. I live in a non gluten-free household but have my own toaster, colander, labeled condiments, etc and dinner is always gluten-free for everyone So here's my issue. About a month ago in a moment of weakness...
