    I was using Bare Escentuals lipgloss....it wasnt colored at all...just clear. The colored lipstick I use doesnt seem to cause any burning or tingling. The make-up I put on my face doesnt bother my skin or cause it to become more puffy. My face is the same on the days I dont wear any make-up at all but I had reactions when the make-up has gotten into my mouth...

    I'm sure there is less risky stuff but since I dont know exactly what my intolerances are....Its hard to know what to look for. Thats the biggest problem. Its not hard to find gluten free products...but corn and soy are another story. OK...I was using that shampoo. So now that could be soy that was causing me trouble or MSG....it just never ends...

    I get sick from all the gluten free foods. I might as well eat regular food...its cheaper. I bought a bunch of Aubrey Organics stuff last summer cuz I was trying to reduce the chemicals. Funny thing is I got WORSE.....I mean I got worse in a big way. I believe I was getting reactions from the lotion and possibly the other products as well. The lotion...

    ok...now that I've read the whole post I understand. I'm sorry about the death in your family. Did gluten do ALL that to you? I've never done a challenge but after reading what you posted I dont think I'd want to now. Thats scary. I hope you recover quickly. I guess you wont be wondering about gluten anymore. I totally understand because I wonder about...

    The chocolate I was eating doesnt have vanilla in it or soy lechitin....thats why I was buying it. Its Dagoba dark chocolate but they have other bars that *do* have vanilla or soy in them. So it states on the package that it may contain traces of milk and soy protein. I wasnt gonna worry about minute taces but maybe I should have cuz I was eating quite a...

    Ok ...this may be a dumb question...but the rule is there are no dumb questions here. I know soy isnt a vegetable...its classified as a legume I believe. When stuff says vegetarian though.....can that mean soy? Like the vegetarian capsules in supplements....can there be soy in there? I'm just curious...my mind won't quit....its going in like a thousand...

    Thats so weird cuz I had that same thing going awhile ago...it was my left arm too and it would pinch somewhere near my armpit. Especially if I raised my arm. I used to smoke and for some reason I think when I smoked it got worse. Its also related to food intolerances I think cuz it happened a couple weeks ago when I was having a bad reaction....it was the...

    Yup...thats true. My doctor has drilled this into my head for the past 5 months. He said most people with gluten intolerance get these infections. He says they find them all the time. But so far....none have been found in me. I'm taking another test now so we'll see if anything shows up. Lister, As far as the personal stuff...I think I know...

    I looked it up...it usually comes from soy. I believe I do have a soy intolerance but I'm never 100% sure of anything. I've had very strong reactions to everything I've eaten with soy. Soy cheese, soymilk, soy yogurt, etc. I never got away with eating anything soy and *not* getting a reaction. I just never know if its from soy or something else. The yogurt...

    I took a parasite cleanse a year ago and the following day alongside my stool was a long white worm looking thing. It was totally seperate from my stool. It looked like it could be a worm...I did "inspect" it but I couldnt figure it out. I had several stool tests for parasites since then but all were negative...its still a mystery to me.

    I had all these symptoms (except vertigo). I had all kinds of tests...including an MRI on my brain. Everything came back normal. The symptoms mostly go away when I eliminate processed foods but come back if I start to eat processed stuff again. I'm thinking its msg causing the symptoms for me.
  12. Rachel--24
    Those sound really "yummy". I hope I get well enough to try them someday. Thanks for the explanation.
  13. Rachel--24
    I havent ordered the book yet. I feel like I might jinx everything if I buy the book. I'm still waiting to find out if I really have a problem with MSG. When I was real sick (way before I figured out it had anything to do with food) I was reacting to my lipstick and other skin products. Sometimes it would burn my lips but other times it wouldnt. Sometimes...
  14. Rachel--24
    Yeah....I've seen alot of posts about people having problems with the skins on apples. Personally, I havent eaten an unpeeled apple in over a year cuz the skins bother me. I peel everything. I even tried to peel celery...it didnt work. I dont know whats up with that bitterness taste. I've experienced that with celery, cabbage and ice-berg lettuce....
  15. Rachel--24
    That made me laugh. From now on I'm looking for the "underdogs"....the ones that noone else is gonna buy. The ones that I would normally pass up. Tonite I went to Whole Foods and they had zuccinni...both organic and conventional...ususally they only have one or the other and I dont buy it if its not organic. Not tonight though. They were right next to each...

    I'm wondering about the purpose of Auxigro...I havent spent alot of time researching it yet. Is it mainly to increase the size of the veggies or fruits? I remember reading that its a pesticide or fungicide opr something like that. But I've also seen alot about it making the produce bigger. I wonder if I go for smaller stuff...if I'll be better off?? I...

    Lots of meat gets processed. I have problems with regular meat I have to buy the organic stuff from the butcher at Whole Foods. I dont know what could be causing your symptoms but I know if I had eaten that pork and drank gatorade I'd probably be hallucinating right now.

    I've been on Armour for a couple years now. My Endo didnt normally perscribe it but he didnt give me any crap about it. I dont see him anymore and have had lots of doctors....noones told me they wont give it to me. If they did...I'd fire them right then and there. Prior to Armour I had been on both Levoxyl and Levothroid and I cant handle the synthetic stuff...
  19. Rachel--24
    You could be having problems with other foods...not just gluten. The pork is probably *highly* processed and not good for anyone with bad digestive symptoms. That would be my guess anyways. Also did you drink anything?
  20. Rachel--24
    I totally love yams but everytime I try to eat them I get reactions. Well its been awhile so I decided to try them again. Sure enough I got all the pressure in my face again and yesterday at work I forgot how to sign onto my register. I had to ask for help....basically I forgot my password. HELLO....I've worked at the same job over 16 years! I got...

    Try Lundberg rice cakes. They say gluten free on them, they're good and as far as I know they have no issues with cc.

    What are Perogies?
  24. Rachel--24
    Seeee....thats what I'm saying. It shouldnt go on years and years....that just doesnt make sense. Are you doing Candida diet? Thanks for stopping by. There are several threads about NAET on this board. I think from what I've read its about 50/50. Some people say it helped them...some people say its bogus and a waste of money. Personally...
  25. Rachel--24
    Sorry, I cant help you with that one....I dont take any painkillers. The Xanthan is grown on corn. From what I understand most if not all xanthan here in the US is grown on corn. I believe yeast is also grown on corn.
