    You are not rambling..lol Makes perfect sense to me! I am not writing off doctors either. For a lot of years I would take my kids to doctors and just do whatever they told me to do, without thinking.. I am sorry to say that I was a mom that gave my kids far too many antibotics when they weren't really necessary. Had I been more informed...

    Not to worry everyone. We are being wise. I am just asking the questions "here" to get informed so that if he/we go the medical route we are already armed with all the info. I am sorry, I am will the others that have lost faith in doctors. I have had FM for 15+ years and I haven't gotten ANY help from a doctor, ever. Everything I...

    Everyone keeps mentioning this lab Rachel.. is it only in the States? I am in Canada and wouldn't know where to find this test.. is it a stool sample? AlwaysHope
  4. AlwaysHope
    Wow! Rachel.. I think you are doing the right thing by not going on gluten. Hope you are feeling better now? My husband is unconfirmed Celiac of course, but he says he feels "different" (not better yet) already, even after 3 weeks. AlwaysHope

    Thanks Rachel, That's good to know. What did you do then? Just go on the gluten-free diet, or did you go back on gluten for 3 months? AlwaysHope

    Thanks everyone. Personally I think the test WILL be altered. He's dramatically reduced his gluten intake and the protein suppliment that we found out has gluten in it, has only traces, but who knows how much. The manufactuer said: "we can't be 100 percent certain, so we say no" So while he IS still getting gluten, it isn't much. What we...

    Thanks VydorScope, I am Canadian and I haven't really heard of that lab. Is it in the States? Our medical system is different in Canada and I am not even sure where I could FIND an independent lab. Our tests here would be free.. or covered by our health care. AlwaysHope

    Ok thanks so much for your info. I will print this out. I passed the info on to hubby and that really causes him/us some concern. He doesn't really want to go back on gluten for the 3 months.. yet he wants the test. What to do? What to do? He's considering just staying the course now. He/we are pretty convinced he has it and to go back on gluten...

    What specifically should he ask his doctor for? What are the name of the tests? Also, I vaguely remember someone mentioning that there is a risk for a false negative if you have been gluten-free yet Celiac, for any length of time. How long would that be? While we have reduced our gluten for the past about 3 weeks, we are obviously newbies...

    Hi Brian, I just posted over in the relatives with Celiac forum. I read this post of yours to my husband and if your offer is open to help others on the board with weight/weight training issues.. would it be ok for "us" to send you a private message on here? Thanks, AlwaysHope

    Sorry, to be a pain.. but what is QVT? AlwaysHope

    Kaiti I was wondering. Do you get your line of makeup from a major department store, or do you have to buy it online? AlwaysHope
  13. AlwaysHope
    Ok thanks again Kaiti. I also emailed the store I shop at and asked them if they had any gluten free lines of makeup.. they should get back to me.. and if this is on the list, then it would be confirmed, twice. (I guess I am a little paranoid now.. LOL) AlwaysHope

    Well, this is what the manufacturer said about DrHauschka's products and especially the mascara: Dear Deb, Thank you for your inquiry. Many of the DrHauschka products contain ingredients derived from wheat, wheat germ oil and sometimes alcohol. The processing and purification of these ingredients removes any trace of gluten and should be regarded...

    Moving right along here.. I just thought of my husband's asthma meds. (puffer) You would think they wouldn't contain anything remotely like gluten or wheat right?? How would I go about finding out? Thanks, AlwaysHope
  16. AlwaysHope
    They are a line called : " Dr. Hauschka's" The mascara has been around for along time. I'll check out that line you recommended. Thanks. AlwaysHope
  17. AlwaysHope
    That's what I was thinking too. We'll see what the manufactuer says. What mascara do you use? I stopped wearning ANY perfumes a year ago, so I have that covered.. lol AlwaysHope
  18. AlwaysHope
    Thanks Kaiti. Like I said, I emailed the manufacturer so they can confirm. I was just wondering if you could see some obvious ones. My problem is that I am Multiple Chemical Sensitive as well, so there are so few that I can use that are scent free. Lots that say they are, but I can smell them a mile away. I haven't been able to use regular cosmetics...
  19. AlwaysHope
    Thanks everyone. Just emailed them. Ok Kaiti ..speaking of cosmetics. I have an ingredient list here of two cosmetics that I use: "mascara" and "lipstick" If I post the ingredient list can you SPOT the gluten?? LOL (I have also emailed them but they seem to take days to get back to me somtimes.. it's nice that they post their ingredients. AlwaysHope
  20. AlwaysHope
    Ok thank you. I guess I will have to email the manufacturers. sigh It just never ends, does it... AlwaysHope

    I'd like some suggestions of tea we can have. I drink Rooibos tea, and green tea, mostly. Are they safe? Oh and how about coffee? Thanks, AlwaysHope

    Hi, Newbie here. This must be the list that was mentioned to me yesterday. Could you please be so kind to send me an unzipped on too? deb4jc2@hotmail.com Thanks!
  23. AlwaysHope
    Thanks! Why do you set aside 1/2 the recipe? Why doesn't it just make one cake?? (obviously I am not much of a baker.. LOL) AlwaysHope
  24. AlwaysHope
    I have done the same with ALL health issues for years! Ever since I was diagnosed with Fibro, I have been searching for "cures". This just seems to be another part of the puzzle. I drive my hubby crazy for sure with all this stuff, but it's HIM this time that is starting to finally SEE the light. He's wondered his whole life why he can...
