    I aways thought those were just from dry skin...

    Most Indian food is safe because they don't use a lot of flour. I like chicken korma personally. Just don't order naan or samosas. Pakora are okay because they're made with chickpea flour.

    I'm from NH originally and so Margarita's is a staple in my family. You should try the Queso Fundido, it's amazing!

    Could it be the fat content of the fritoes?

    Hi Susan, I too am very anemic. My doctor recommended taking a vitamin called "Vitron-C." It's gluten free and contains 200 mg of ferrous fumarate (iron) and 150mg of vitamin C. I take 3 a day and I special order it through my pharmacy (Target). The vitamin C is supposed to help you absorb the iron. I'm sure you're already aware that iron supplements...

    ARCHIVED Mass Doc

    I see Dr. Canan Avunduk in Melrose, MA. Dr. Gary Levine at Dartmouth Hithchcock Medical Center in NH diagnosed me though. Both doctors are great.

    This is going to be graphic, apologies everyone... I just went through this over New Years weekend. I'm only 25 so in the world of colonoscopies, I'm still a kid. I don't know what kind of prep your son has been assigned, but I was required to drink "Fleet phospha soda" which is a clear, citrus "flavored" saline laxative. I mixed it with gingerale...

    You can also get the Bare Essentials-Bare Minerals makeup at Sephora. There are several BE stores as well. I know there's one in the Delta terminal at the Atlanta Airport.

    I watched it last night. The show is called "Mystery Diagnosis" and it's on the Discovery Health Channel. I think it was the first segment of the show. It told the story of a little boy who was really sick, he kept having seziures and they had no idea why. His mother had celiac disease but her doctors told her it was "rare" and not genetic so not to worry...

    I don't think we should be so quick to eliminate chicken as a possibility. Commercial chicken is often injected with stock or water to increase the weight of the chicken and make it appear more plump. Have you ever compared a package of perdue chicken to a package of free range cicken from Whole Foods? the whole foods chicken looks anorexic compared to...

    We can also eat bean flour. There's a brand that I bought in my nearby Price Chopper that was a gluten-free all-purpose flour. It worked well for chocolate chip coconut cookies, but when I made sugar cookies with it I thought it tasted like raw lentils. I'd use it again but only for baked stuff with other stronger flavors. The gluten-free pantry has...

    Hmmm....well then I guess it's not the blistex that makes me break out on my mouth. Thanks!

    It looks okay to me. I suppose there's a risk of cross contamination if they're making it in a non gluten-free kitchen. Stephanie

    WOOHOO!

    I'd be suspicious of the chiken itself as well. I once got glutened from chicken soup. I was so careful about the stock I used and the spices but still got terribly sick. I've heard that some companies inject their meat with a solution of "stuff" to plump it up and add weight. I think this is what did it to me. I know perdue is gluten-free but I don't...

    Hmmm....lets see....we have a long family tree of celiac disease On my father's side: My paternal grandmother was diagnosed as an adult but probably had it ages before then. She also had alzheimers. Does anyone know if there's a link between the two? My father suspects he might have it. He's constantly in the bathroom. My older brother has severe...

    I suppose there's a chance for cross-contamination but not likely. What brand are they? I know Lundberg farms rice cakes are all gluten-free. These are my big gluten-free staple. I don't particularly care for gluten-free bread so I use these as bagles, toast, and sandwiches. Stephanie

    What about apple schnapps (Pucker)? I love my apple martinis.

    I'd be especially careful about Dove if you're buying in Canada. I know a lot of brands have different formulas in different countries (ever had a coke in Italy?) and are completely different from the US products. So what might be gluten-free here might not be there. You might be better off calling the Canadian branch of the company and asking them directly...

    I take Ultra Mega Women's from GNC. They're monsters though-large and green. But they seem to work and there gluten-free. I didn't realize so many of the mainstream brands were gluten-free too. Nice!

    The Gluten Free Pantry has some great baking mixes. I think there is a chocolate mix and a vanilla. I've had both and they're not too bad. Stephanie

    Someone made a good point in another thread that if your shampoo has wheat protien or oil in it and you run your hands through your hair and then touch your mouth you could ingest it. I don't know if that's true but it seems plausible to me. I definitely do have topical reactions to some cosmetics for the lips (lipstick, gloss, chapstick, etc.) but whether...

    I'm a perfect example of someone who did this (and why you shouldn't). As a somewhat chubby person for mose of my life, I was thrilled when I lost 35lbs during my senior year of college. My mother thought I was bulimic but it turns out I had celiac disease (not so thrilling). In reality it wasn't a surprise, my paternal grand mother had it, I have a cousin...

    Hi All, So, after reading this whole section yesterday I went through my bathroom and threw out all of my products that contain gluten. Who knew there were so many?? I figure that if I'm gong to do this gluten-free thing though I should do it right. Anyway, I'm now down to a bar of Irish Spring and my toothpaste and Listerine. Basically all of my other...

    Hi Jenna, I live in Reading but I would be totally willing to be an email buddy until you find a group. I'm looking for one as well. Steph Stephberry2002@yahoo.com
