    Oh Julie, sorry--10x sugar is the same as powdered or confectioner's sugar

    This makes a generous amount (if you need less, just halve the ingredients) 1/2 cup butter (I use all shortening to make it dairy free) 1/2 cup shortening 4 cups 10x Sugar 1 Tsp. Vanilla About 1/4 cup milk of choice With mixer, beat shortening, butter and vanilla until creamy. Add sugar and mix thoroughly. Slowly add milk until...

    I used to get canker sores frequently--since gluten-free, I have not had one

    Yes, it's true that the DH Homestyle frosting is no longer gluten-free. I know some of the Pilsbury frostings are safe--not sure which as I make my own. I'd be happy to post a recipe if you'd like.

    My intolerance symptoms varied, depending on what foods I ate. Tapioca gives me an almost immediate reaction, similar to gluten. Soy gives me GI problems and terrible gas several hours after eating. Legumes were the difficult ones to uncover--I ate them often and always seemed to have an underlying feeling of impending D. Grains also give me GI issues...

    Another thought when you brought up color matching--Mango is right that you can mix colors, but also, these minerals are 'forgiving' in the sense that they don't have to be an exact match to work. (Like, say, a liquid would have to be) I predict you will become hooked!

    Thank you!!!!That looks great. And that brand is easy to find. No--it dosen't appear to contain SLS--and I love that it also dosen't have tons of ingredients. Have you tried it? I'm going to put this on my "Whole Foods" list
  8. jerseyangel
    As far as Sodium Laurel Sulfate being in a product, it is always listed as such on the ingredient list. It's almost always the first or second ingredient.

    I forgot to list my facial cleanser--I'm using (and like very much) Zia Moisturizing Cleanser. It's for normal/dry skin. It's detergent-free. Open Original Shared Link I have not found a bar-type body soap that is SLS and gluten-free.

    ...and no annoying line at the chin! I hate that

    Bev--I tend to have a difficult time stomaching calcium/mag suppliments. The one that I can tolerate easily is by Standard Process--it's called Calcium Lactate. It was suggested to me by my Kineisiologist. It is available at my local health food store, and the owner told me that a lot of Chiropracters tell their patients to use that brand.

    Julie--I love their foundation, and the other face products like bisque, blush, all over face color, glimmers and the mineral vail. I think the bare minerals look so much more natural than any other type of foundation I have used. The coverage is good, too. There is a small learning curve to applying, but it's easy! I do not care for their eye shadows...

    Oh my gosh! I never connected the two, but my rosacea has also gotten better lately. I was just telling my sister yesterday (we live in different states, so she hasn't seen me) that my face is not nearly as red. My face wash has been SLS free, but not my shampoo and conditioner until recently. With that stuff running down my face, it's no wonder. Thanks...

    Sounds like a great place--didn't the owner's husband post here a while back? Anyway, have a safe trip, Bronco--enjoy!

    I did the same thing! I bought it last summer--I have looked up a few things, but most of the brands in there are not available in my area. The best source of info about products, in my opinion, is either here or contacting the companies directly. The second is kind of a pain, but you get the most up to date info that way. I looked up page 189 in my copy...

    Have you considered additional food intolerance? I did well at first on the gluten-free diet, and I am also very careful. After a few months, I began to get sick, and I knew I was not getting any gluten. Perhaps there is something else that you are reacting to? It can be anything--a common food that you eat often, even.

    Hi Rachel--Welcome! Your sensitivites sound similar to mine. It has taken me 6 months to figure all of them out. I eat meat, poultry, veggies, fruits (not citrus), olive oil, dark chocolate and water. I do use sugar--but try to limit that. I have been gluten-free for 1 year (today!) and after 4 months or so began to have trouble with the additional intolerances...

    I live in south Jersey, and can find a few of their products at Wegmans. Here is their website--I brought up the ingredient page for you-- Open Original Shared Link

    If you can do it, try using shortening, and reduce the amount to 1/2 cup. I've made this recipe 4 times now, and this last batch was the best yet. In addition to reducing the shortening, I also tweaked the sugars--I use 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 4 tbsp. of sugar. I use Ener-g Potato Starch and more chocolate chips than the recipe calls for. I bake for...

    Some of the SLS free products I use are-- California Baby--all of their products are SLS free and gluten-free Shikai Shampoo & Conditioner--not all their products are gluten-free Jason Showersilk--not all their products are gluten-free Jason Supersmile Toothpaste--company will clearly list gluten It is difficult to find products...

    Sorry you're feeling so lousy today. Your toothpaste is safe, by the way! I remember during the first couple of months on the diet, I would wake up and both of my hands and wrists would hurt. My intestines would make noises, and hurt and get pressure for no apparent reason. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you! Oops--don't forget your vitamins

    To add to what Vincent said, there could be family members in the past who had it, but attributed the symptoms to something else. I believe that's the case in my family. While I am the first diagnosed Celiac, there are stomach problems and autoimmune diseases on my mom's side.

    I would recommend California Baby, too. I was using the shampoo and bodywash myself for a while! I still use the Sensitive Skin Lotion and sunscreen. Good stuff

    Superback--Sounds great! That allergist sounds like a keeper. I was diagnosed by a gastro., but I see an allergist who is also interested in treating the whole person. He did the allergy scratch tests on me, and guided me through an elimination diet--he even explained how my reflux was all tied in with my breathing, and digestion. That reflux is all but...

    Take heart, Lister. It is very common to roller coaster especially during the first few months. It just takes time. When I finally got diagnosed, I also thought that I'd go gluten-free and get better--just like that. Didn't happen. It's taken me a good year to feel good more or less consistantly. Just stay the course--you're doing great!
