I've been gluten-free for a few months. I've noticed that my eczema hasn't really improved much - if anything, it's gotten worse in some areas. I've been using gluten-free products that come in contact with my hands and mouth (like hand cream, chapstick, etc.) but haven't paid a huge amount of attention to body wash, shampoo, conditioner or other hair products...

I've had chronic sinusitis due to seasonal, food, and environmental allergies. I've also had two sinus surgeries (but they were five years apart). I've heard of people whose sinuses and allergies improve on the gluten free diet, but so far I've noticed no difference. I've i've been gluten free for a little over two months though, and this time of year is...

Inactive ingredients: gelatin, glycerin, polyethylene glycol, purified water, sorbitol.

also, what you posted is only the active ingredient. It has inactive ingredients not listed on their website which I have at home on the box.

That's what I've done - I have no problem paying extra I was just wondering if it was gluten that was causing the problems I was having, or something else and thought someone here might know since CVS themselves apparently do not.

Great question. Of course I don't have it on me, but when I get home, I will post them. I should have realized that would be helpful

Did you have more energy? No, actually. Less. Did you lose/gain weight? I've stayed mostly consistent, if anything lost a couple pounds. Mostly, I FEEL like I lost weight because I don't have constant bloating and constipation anymore! Healthier skin/hair No. More regular bowel movements YES!!!! It has virtually eliminated bloating and stomach pain...

I have been trying to get in touch with CVS about whether Open Original Shared Link is gluten-free. They've been going back and forth through me with email, but this has been going on for four weeks, and they've still yet to give me a straight answer. I used to take it all the time before going gluten-free, but since going gluten-free, whenever I take...

I'll avoid plastic from now on. We do have a cutting board but I don't use it anymore (and to be honest, I don't think anything except vegetables were ever cut on there). I doubt the dishwasher has ever been cleaned

Hmm...mostly plastic, except for silverware.

I don't actually use the strainer either. For example - my boyfriend will cook pasta in a pot. It will then go into a dishwasher and then I'll use it to make my own chili or something. It's not one of those non-stick pots either, that gets scratched easily. It's stainless steel. I haven't been using any of the ones that scratch because I'm nervous about...

I do tend to avoid processed foods in general, even before going gluten free.. Rice chex (generic or brand) have been the one exception. I'll cut them out for now, and I'm going to avoid restaurants completely for a while. I don't even use a toaster! (But I do use the same pots that regular pasta has been boiled in. I'm not sure if that could be an issue...

I have only stopped consuming gluten a little over a month ago. Is it too soon to tell when you've accidentally consumed gluten? I have been very diligent about my own foods, medications, beauty products, etc. I do eat generic rice chex - and I've read that some people have problems with Rice Chex in general. This weekend, I bought the real Rice...

I really sympathize with you. I also have multiple food allergies (but have had them almost my entire life): shellfish, peanuts, most tree nuts and sesame. If you have a true allergy to those foods, it's super important that you avoid them as each time you consume them, your allergic reaction could get progressively worse and could ultimately result in...

I often get back pain when I have bad stomach pain. I don't really know why, but it does happen.
