    Yes, I am having to be pretty careful with the elastic. Any rubber I am leery of...(You are right--there are 3 different "rubbers" that we can react to. Most common--elastic, rubber gloves, goggles & of course, my fav: the cell phone cover! I have some very heavy duty rubber gloves that are lined too--then, I wear my little white 100% cotton...

    :lol: I Sooooooo Appreciate you all! So, since we are confessing...want to know why my info and pix is blank???? Yep, I am betting you all guessed it. I have not figured out how to get the info onto my LJ site! :D

    I recently went to the dentist for a regular check up. My Dental Hygienist asked about my diet--because my gums were not as healthy as 6 months ago. When I explained the gluten-free diet--she said that the protein that we tend to eat more of (i.e. meats) actually causes the "germs" in the deeper pockets of the gums to grow faster...the teeth themselves...

    I too have rashes--have for awhile. It definitely got better when I went gluten-free, peanut free, and although I don't do the "low iodine diet"--I do not add *any* salt (or spices) to food...I only use pepper. At first, I thought things tasted bland--now I like it. When I do eat something that hubby fixed with salt--my rash gets more inflammed. Another...

    Thanks RiceGuy for the links--It is true, I cannot eat avocados, pears, bananas, apples, chestnuts, tomato--and several others that seem to be intertwined with each other! Rather confusing for me to grasp--the one thing that I do get is that I was just determined to be allergic to rubber--also intertwined with latex on some level or another So Vitamin...

    I did want to share one incident however--I was required to do the Hepatitus series of vaccines for my employment--which I did. Then, one year later, I get a letter in the mail stating that the Hep series I went through was not correct--and that I had to do them *all* over again! (3 shots spread over a bit of time). Needless to say, it made me leery of...

    Thank you for your thought out answer!!!!

    Oops, my first try at multiquotes--It did not turn out so well! I hope you all can make sense out of it! On the up side--I have found that the shower cap is causing the rash on my forehead--My brush has rubber on it--and every time I use it have been itching--Time to find replacements for those two things.... The undies problem that 1desperatesaved...

    Hi FP, I don't know...I am feeling a better about the rubber allergy today--not so gloomy Now I am figuring out where all of the rubber is in my house.... I don't know about the testing. (Although he did say If I had strong reactions I could take them off)...I will keep thinking about it! I know that I hate surprises that pop up on me--but I would...

    Very Nice way to make sense out of the posts! I Love It!!! It *is* easy!

    Hi, still practicing... LOL! :lol: A quintuple quote! I *Love* It!

    I found these instructions--(I am IT challenged), so I hope you all don't mind if I practice! Thanks!

    Hey RiceGuy, I find your articles and input *very* interesting! I am having severe problems with allergies that at first mimiced Celiac--I am gluten-free, but also allergic to peanuts and eggs. (A much longer list, but no need to be boring) I found that when I was "required" by my employer to have the influenza vaccines every year--that I also had...

    Hi FP! Thanks for responding...The banana leaves are out true! I have tried the Nu-Skin product--might help but there appears to be a "referral response" to outward areas around the elastic. Like the cell phone cover, it was primarily on my ears, but also behind and under my ears down toward the neck. Uch. Any thoughts about the chemical testing...

    ARCHIVED Hair Color

    L.J. replied to Candy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I am blonde--but had alot of reddish tones when I was young...Some grey hair--so I use hair dye to match my regular color now. Although I am not dx with Celiac--I have many issues (past and present) that Celiacs also have. Our "sensitive" nature to the world around us maybe?
