    My doctor prescribed me Clenpiq but I called and they say there's something in it that's sourced from wheat but it has <20 ppm. Would you use it? Is there a different prep that you've checked and is gluten free? Also if you've done this multiple times, is there one prep that's more tolerable and more gentle than others?

    Thanks Ravenwoodglass and Manasota. Manasota, I hadn't come across Garbriel. Do you know if there's any fragrance to the products? Especially the foundation?

    I used clinique for years as it didn't bother my allergies, but it's not listed on any of the gluten free makeup lists. I'm having trouble finding a foundation that works as well, doesn't cause allergies, and that matches my skin tone. Also clinique's under eye cream really works better than anything I've found. I called clinique to ask about gluten...

    PURELL IS NOT GLUTEN FREE. I called the company today to see if Purell was still gluten free. I was informed that it is not gluten free. The only Purell that is gluten free is their alcohol free version Product number 5784-04. I see it online but it's insanely expensive - like $64 for a pack of 4 bottles. For the Soapopular, I haven't found anything...

    Thanks Pegleg and others. Moose thanks for the info. I'll look into it. One of the reasons I love Disney is they have extensive training for their chefs and protocols in place to handle allergies and gluten issues in most of their restaurants - over 200 of them. I've been going for many years and have never had a problem before. It's been awesome to get...

    Thanks - How does the l-glutamine help?

    I have gluten intolerance, and was away at Disney World - they're usually amazing with gluten free dining. I've been going for years and have never had a problem. This time I got glutened by a chef who told me that a salad dressing was gluten free, but when I went back a few days later another chef told me it wasn't. The day after eating it, I had stomach...

    Hi Gottaski - thanks so much for the welcome. You're very right about the nutritional modifications for the cholesterol and triglicerides, and there are some drugs that can help as well. I tried the nutritional approach but it wasn't working. The drugs have side effects that I couldn't afford to have. The liver flush did the trick, so I was lucky.

    Ok guys - I was on my ipad so couldn't type much, but I'm back to my PC. Thank you for the info GottaSki. I appreciate your sharing your experience. I'll definitely use the walmart epson salts for bathing, and I'll call walmart to see if it's gluten free for ingesting. Also, notme!, I've got a super sensitive stomach and have never had problems with...

    I did see a doctor. After doing my first liver flush, my very elevated cholesterol, triglicerides, and ANA all came down into normal the range. The pain I had in my liver/gallbladder area was gone. The severe nausea I had whenever I ate anything with fat in it vanished. So for me it was worthwhile.

    cross contamination can occur any time during the production process. Has anyone else out there looked into gluten free epsom salts?
  12. AngieJoy
    Of course its not only the ingrdients that count as you know. it could be cross contamination that makes something inappropriate. I always try to stick to things that check out with proper processing. As for scientific evidence, all I know is that it radically changed my blood test results for the better, and it cleared up some very serious symptoms.

    Hi folks, I'm preparing to do a liver flush, and it requires taking epsom salts orally. I've done several of these and it really made a huge difference to my health, but I'm having trouble finding gluten free epsom salts. Publix supermarket makes one, but we've checked all the stores around me and no one is carrying them. Does anyone know of other brands...

    The medication does get into your bloodstream from that Flector patch, so is that cause for concern?
  15. AngieJoy
    Thanks everyone - I'll check out those products. With the medication patch - you get the medication in your system, so I just don't know if celiac and gluten intolerance take place throughout your body like an allergy, or if it only takes place in your digestive tract. And if it does go through your skin into your body, does some of it make it's way to your...

    Hi folks - I have to be super careful with my diet, but do we have to also be careful about what goes on the skin? Most important on my list - I'm wondering about the Flector patch - it's an anti-inflammatory drug. I'm unable to handle oral anti-inflammatory drugs because of allergy and stomach sensitivity, but I used to use the Flector patches before...

    Thanks for the understanding and the uggestions. It really helps! I would think that for the members of the immediate family they could make accommodations for allergies and celiac. Perhaps in a large wedding it would be tough to do that for everyone, but my nephew has a very small immediate family. I would certainly do that if I were creating an...

    I so appreciate all your comments and suggestions. I see I was not off base here. Thank you. I think that if I were to show up there with food they'd consider that gauche and rude. He specifically said that I should not eat. It's very hurtful and so disappointing that he's so caught up in what it looks like to others, which really outweighs his concern...

    Hi all, I could use some support here. My nephew who I've been really close to is getting married. I was invited to the shower with lunch in a nice restaurant inside a high end department store. I called the hostess to let her know I'm coming and I mentioned the gluten free diet. I told her I'd be happy to speak with the restaurant myself to make...
