ARCHIVED A Bunch Of Random Questions
zippy replied to Clark Bent as Stupor-Man's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Long before I was ever diagnosed celiac, I had almost daily headaches , which I chocked up to bad sinuses, but read an article about dairy. I decided to stop milk altogether and my headaches decreased by 80-90%. I still eat cheese on occasion, but it made a huge difference when I stopped the milk. And the brain fog only seemed to improve when I went gluten... -
ARCHIVED Are You Positive Or Negative About Having Cd?
zippy replied to Billygoat's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was so relieved that I know now what the problem is and that it is something that can be taken care of with something as simple as diet. Also, I'm very grateful to have found out now, rather than years down the road, as my sister did. The diagnosis was actually a relief to have, and explained many things that I didn't understand. -
I ordered and received my celiac bracelet from angelic grooves, and it's really beautiful, and a portion is donated to celiac groups. Open Original Shared Link

ARCHIVED Oprah - Let's Get Cd On Her Show
zippy replied to floridanative's topic in Publications & Publicity
That is an excellent idea, and probably a much better chance of it actually happening. -
I agree it has gotten overkill with the bracelets, I was just very disappointed in the quality of the univ. of maryland ones. Anyway, maybe my angelic grooves one will attract more attention to the cause anyway. A friend of mine has a similar pink beaded one for breast cancer and it definitely got my attention and it had a very touching story behind it....

I went ahead and ordered the angelic grooves bracelet, engraved with celiac, you can order based on your wrist size, and a good portion goes to celiac groups.

ARCHIVED Oprah - Let's Get Cd On Her Show
zippy replied to floridanative's topic in Publications & Publicity
I know of a group of women with melasma, a very disturbing to the self esteem, and basically nothing that can get rid of it. (Triluma, hydroquinone products really don't work), Anyway they bombarded Oprah with it do bring it to people's attention. It went ignored. Maybe this will be more successful. -
I just got my green silicon bracelets from the university of maryland, these honestly look cheaper than ones I've seen at the dollar stoor, and the imprinting is even much more difficult to see. I'm not even sure I want to wear this. I've heard the university of chicago has them based on posts, but I have not been able to locate them. I like the angelic groove...

ARCHIVED Come And Rant!
zippy replied to fisharefriendsnotfood's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well I survived my first pot luck at work. It was not easy with home made choc chip cookies, carrot cake, spinach/bread dip. The only thing I ate was what I brought, my melon salad. I was feeling seriously deprived. -
Thanks for posting that. I walked in at the tail end, and wanted to see the full segment but couldn't find it.

I ended up going with the tropical traditions lotion, they had a buy one get one free sale, so I couldn't resist, and I've been happy with it. I've found a lip gloss site that's inexpensive and this was their response to ingredient question: Hello, Thank you for your interest in My Lip Stuff. Our regular formula lip balms in the tube and pot contain...

Has anyone that ordered the silicon bracelets ordered less than ten? It says they'd like everyone to order at least ten. I'd love a bracelet, but I don't want ten.

Thank you both for your replies, and anyone else who choses to chime in. And as for the hug, I'll take it.

I just had my blood work confirmed with my endo results today, and as much as I was expecting it, I've been very down all day. I know it could be something so much worse. Anyway, my question is do you avoid all wheat in skin care products/ hair products as well? I was looking through my drawers and some of this stuff I just bought, but I have an eye cream...
