    LindaLee--Here is a link to Smashbox-- Open Original Shared Link I bought what I had at QVC--they have a lot of the products there. The Smashbox Studio in LA is where a lot of magazine covers are shot.

    Hi Jerry--Good idea! Begin eating gluten now, go on the cruise for 3 weeks and have a ball. Then when you get back, schedule the blood test (make sure they do the complete Celiac blood panel) and continue eating gluten right up to the day of the test. Then, like you said, you can go from there. Have a great trip

    Wow--thanks Chelsea! Avodado ice cream--never thought about that, but I see what you mean about the fat content making the finished product soft. Will have to get back to the ice cream maker and experiment a litle bit more What does the gelatin do for the ice cream?

    Ha--that's what I always thought! But this gluten-free stuff has completely thrown me for a loop

    I will try the oil first--the recipe from Vance's calls for 2 tbsp. of oil. I looked at that, and at Vincent's and then made up my own based on those! Probably should have followed the recipe first, and then made changes--that's me--a little backward Thanks

    Cheri and Vincent--same with me! Vinvent, how much salt do you think we need to use? I used 4 cups of Dairi Free. (So I had a lot left over--had to let it sit on counter a few minutes, and even then had to scrape enough off to eat )

    Hi Julie--Sorry you're not feeling well Immodium is gluten-free. I was also hesitant to use anything, but do use Immodium if I need to be somewhere, or if I feel particularly bad. I start with 2 tablets, and I almost never have to take another dose. I find that the 2 will end the D that I'm having (the cramping, too) and the effect tends to last for...

    I think that this is so true--

    When "spices" or "natural flavors" are listed on a label, and it's a brand that you are not sure of, it's always necessary to check.

    I'm not gonna tell you to be more careful and to quit whining, because when I get glutened, I would want to hit anyone who told me that! Unfortunately, I have not found anything that really helps. I try to eat as normally as I can, drink a lot of water, and if I need to go out/be around people other than family, I take Immodium. That has saved my...

    Miss SS--Thank you so much for contacting all of these companies! I am happy to know about Smashbox! I had some of their lip glosses, and their eyeshadow and liner. I got rid of them months ago to be safe. Now, I wish I hadn't. At least I will feel free to order if I see something I want to try. I use Bare Escentuals foundations and face colors, but...

    Colgate Toothpaste is gluten-free.

    Hi Deena--Apple Cider Vinegar is gluten-free. I use Heinz all the time. I should say here that there is a vinegar on the market called Apple Cider "Flavored" Vineagr. That product is *not* gluten-free.

    Hi Judy! Happy Memorial Day to you! I found this thread--it's gluten-free and casein free recipes-- Open Original Shared Link Some of those call for soy, though. I'll add on if I come across any more for you Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link one has a substitute soy sauce recipe

    Yes, I agree with the B's. For about 6 months, I took, in addition to my multi, B6 and sublingual B12. It's better, but I don't know if I'll ever be completely rid of it. This is one symptom where you really have to give it a lot of time.

    That is wonderful--I'm so happy for you!

    I have been told that it makes a difference, too. My Kinesiologist said that it was important to take vitamins that were made from whole foods. He had me taking a brand that had, among other things, bovine adrenials. I was not comfortable with taking pills with animal parts in them--I'm not a vegiatarian, but I questioned the safety. I was told that the...

    I agree with Annette. I have used the more expensive vitamins, and in most cases have noticed no difference, or actually have reacted badly to them (Freeda). I use Centrum Advanced and am very happy with them.

    Rusla!!! Good to see you back!

    Relax! The doctor said you have gluten sensitivity and he is going to monitor you. It will take time to heal--you will probably not feel 100% right away. Don't worry about the whole IBS/spastic colon thing. Doctors do use that as a diagnosis when either they have ruled out other things, or they just don't know what is wrong. I does not *necessarily*...

    Hi Carl--welcome to the board! I had high blood pressure before I was diagnosed. I have been gluten-free for a year, and just recently have removed a lot of troublesome foods out of my diet (in addition to gluten, of course). My blood pressure has dropped from around 160/110 to 120/69 at my drs. appt last week. I can't help but think there must...

    I was sick for probably 20 years before finally being diagnosed. When I went on the gluten-free diet, I had already been dairy free for about a year. My GI issues began to improve very quickly. Other things like fatigue, brain fog, neuropathy, anxiety, and the anemia took longer. I feel I "turned a corner" around the 4th month. I had a few really good...

    Hi Jenny--You can go to "My Controls" and then to "Edit Avatar Settings" on the left. Then just follow the instructions. I think you have to have a certain number of posts to put a quote under your avatar--500, maybe?
