Hello, I hope someone can help answer a few questions for me. This is my first child and I've known I have celiac for over a year. My concern is with the epidural if I decide to have one I hear they can or do contain gluten. If they do would I have any reaction from having one. I'm super reactive to gluten to the point I've had to change everything...

I did try a gluten free cooking class once but found it difficult to relate...maybe I should try it again cause that was back when I was first diagnosed and I had no clue what I was doing...well even more so then now...Whole Foods has certainly become one of my favorite places to shop that and the Mississippi Market...love the fact that they have a listing... -

I can't begin to explain how frustrated I am today....again another failure....to me there seems to be a lack in resources here in MN when it comes to group settings or support groups. They only meet once a month and I've only been able to make it to 1 out of 3 that I knew of. Today being no exception to me missing it..due to me being directionally challenged...

I never seem to know what i can order while out...i hate the fact that...

Thank you for the info with the BioSil drops...I'm going to have to check them out. I'm sorry to hear you had the same reaction but thank you for letting me know. It's always nice to know I'm not alone. Sometimes since no one around me can understand what I'm going thru I never know if its a normal response or if it could be something more serious. I also... -

Thanks for replying. It's funny. I felt more left out this year because I was trying to pick out a piece of ham from possibly contaminated rut row. Last year, I had a beautiful salad, packed from my lunch box. Even though I packed my own foods, I had I had nice things like hearts of palm and olives, and nice gluten-free SF tuna. Last year I felt safe... -

I did just learn about 2 weeks back the shampoo I was using was not gluten-free...I wish they would make it easier to know which shampoo's are in fact gluten-free verses having to try and de code all the ingredients. Sorry to hear it took over a month for you hopefully it will only take that long for me I just hope it will start to show a difference for... -

Thank you for the heads up...I was sitting here the other day wondering if it was even worth asking my manager about the possibility of the holiday party having gluten free food for me to be able to participate.

The last time I had my levels checked was back in August when I was 1st diagnosed. I was told that my calcium and vitamin D levels were low..so they put me on a multi vit. and a D supplement. Dr asked me to keep on them and that they would retest in 6 months..the hair loss didn't kick in right away but for the last 2 months now its gotten out of control... -
ARCHIVED Hair Loss Since I've Gone Gluten Free
looking for info posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've been Gluten Free since Mid August and I find myself reacting worst then ever to what seems like everything. One of my issues that concerns me most is how much hair I've been losing. I'm not understanding why my hair is falling out since I've been been gluten free. I have switched to a gluten free shampoo recently. I hope this will stop soon but I...
