    Y'know, I had a lot of trouble and different answers from different representatives when I contacted them a while back. Here's a link to the posting I did about it: Open Original Shared Link Never did get a definitive response from them. Also, I think most of MAC's lip products are gluten-free. I would call the company to see which ones, but I've...

    If you're looking for specific information from Chanel, I would call them. They verified the gluten-free status of a few products for me quite some time back, but I had to tell them specifically which product (including shade). If you're looking for higher-end cosmetics with a more standardized response to the gluten question, I've had no issues (yet...

    I don't understand why some people are so defensive about Celiac disease... it's so weird. I agree that you should write a letter if you feel able to. That experience sounds terrible (and I'm so sorry)... it may be one of those things where she doesn't realize how incredibly hurtful that was, and she is un-educated about Celiac disease. Taking a bit...

    1. If she's pre-diabetic, letting her eat gluten could make her real-diabetic (which would probably be even harder). I'm not trying to sound judgemental... we grew up poor, and I remember how hard it is to find food. Are you eligible for food stamps or something along those lines? 2. When I was diagnosed, I lived off of VERY little money (I still don...

    I've had asthma almost my entire life, and it improved a lot after going gluten-free (even though I was too weak to work out much and got totally out of shape). Could definitely be Celiac related.

    Hey Ben, I'm not a skateborder either, but no one else posting in here seems to be either. There's so much cross-contamination in your NonSkateboarders-Free thread here! I used to skate back in junior high...I'd love to find my old board and try it out again. The skate tour with your church sounds rad... have fun if you go!

    Hey all, I'm up in Northern OC as well. Been gluten-free for almost two years now. And... not to sound like an uninformed Orange County-er, but what is Skosh Monahans?

    I self-diagnosed, and I've seen a few problems with it. Some of them have been resolved, but I am trying to get a diagnosis now (based on past history and gene testing). In my personal opinion... if you can get into a doctor in the next few days--you might save yourself some problems later. You may want the diagnosis later and not be able to get one. ...

    Welcome! (to the disease and the board). It definitely feels overwhelming at first, but the change in health is huge. It's scary now, but after a while, it totally becomes second nature. Lakefront's New Grist beer is quite good (even my non gluten-free friends like it). If you're around a Whole Foods, their "Gluten-Free Bakehouse" line is my favorite...

    It may actually help you in the restaurant dept. I have a vegan friend who always used to tell servers that he had allergies to meat/milk/eggs to keep his food safe. Saying you have "severe reactions" (or what have you) to some foods might give you some legitmacy instead of them thinking of you as a picky eater. And you don't really have to clarify which...

    Not quite as exciting as Ghiradelli, but Enjoy Life Foods makes chocolate chips that are gluten, dairy, and soy-free. Dedicated gluten-free facility, and free of the other top 8, too (including eggs). They're the only chocolate I can eat nowadays, but they're pretty good.
  12. quantumsugar
    Oooh, something new to try! How exciting. (As a pointless side note, I love Disaronno's commercials. They totally did their marketing job and made me want to try it).
  13. quantumsugar
    What a funny idea... every product. And... goodness and gracious, that's a terrible response from a company. What doctor wants to spend their time writing product inquiries to different companies? Heck, I don't even like to do it. Thanks for the Bonne Bell information, too. It's nice to know they're so good about it all.
  14. quantumsugar
    That's awesome! It's so nice to watch awareness grow, even in the two years since my diagnosis. It's going to help a lot of people, hopefully.
  15. quantumsugar
    That's the one reason I don't work in a restaurant (my roommate does and her tips are incredible).
  16. quantumsugar
    Ha, I'm a dork. Diagnosed at 20 (not 22)... I'm 22, which gives me two whole years experience (in a few more months).
  17. quantumsugar
    I'm not quite a teen either (22), but I'll pretend. I had the same problem... after the stomach issues started clearing, my biggest issue was the exhaustion I had all the time. Every single day, my body felt tired; getting less than ten (!) hours of sleep would make it even worse. Two years later, and I'm finally feeling close to normal in that regard...
  18. quantumsugar
    Barb-- I don't have too much practical advice for you, but I just wanted to reassure you that all these feelings are kind of normal. I was really, really ill when I was eating gluten. When I cut it out, I started feeling better (a bit) immediately, and kept feeling progressively better. And I would still wonder if I "really" had it (I wasn't originally...

    I just got my hair cut, too... yours looks beautiful.
  20. quantumsugar
    Awesome... I love Scrubs.
  21. quantumsugar
    Most regular moisturizers seem to irritate my skin (it's pretty sensitive). I use straight Jojoba oil on my skin... it's non-comedegenic, and works really well for dry skin.
  22. quantumsugar
    And that was actually me posting this, but I couldn't remember which email address I used for this account at first.
  23. quantumsugar
    Oooh, Breakfast at Tiffany's is a good one! Hmm.... if I can't find a pink dress in the next few days, that might be it. I did some searching/thinking for you (trying to avoid cleaning, guess I'll go do that now ). Males seem to have more to choose from for this one, but I got some interesting ones for you: Janis Joplin!!! Jackie O, Sylvia...
  24. quantumsugar
    I'll take it for future reference... and I'm sure someone else on here will need makeup for a costume/kid's costume... shoot
  25. quantumsugar
    That actually sounds adorable; hmmm... I'll think about it. But, I think I found my costume for this year: Jem, from Jem and the Holograms. It should be a fun one. Still taking suggestions, though.
