ARCHIVED Mary Kay face wash
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to Momma2PirateNPrincess's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I tried comparing all the ingredients on the box to a list of chemical names for gluten. It’s really hard! -
ARCHIVED Mary Kay face wash
Momma2PirateNPrincess posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sorry, I’m sure this has been discussed but when doing a search on the topic nothing showed up. Anyone know if Mary kay Timewise face wash is gluten-free? -
I'm having a hard time gaining and maintaining my weight too. I lost a lot over the summer when all my symptoms started. I've only been gluten-free close to 2 months. I eat about every 3-4 hrs and still can't gain. I look gross!

ARCHIVED Trader Joes sunflower butter?
Momma2PirateNPrincess posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I bought some yesterday and didn't read the label until I got home. No where on the label does it say gluten-free but there are no ingredients that contain any. Is it safe? -
ARCHIVED Recommended body wash/shampoo/conditioner?
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to Momma2PirateNPrincess's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was going to buy pantene but after googling although it is gluten free it still can be cross contaminated...found out the same goes for my current shampoo/conditioner so I didn't replace it. I did end up buying method body wash and a new face wash. Oh and I also realized the soap I was using to wash my hands had wheat (ugh) but luckily we had a refill bottle... -
ARCHIVED Recommended body wash/shampoo/conditioner?
Momma2PirateNPrincess posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
So all this time I've been making a rookie mistake and didn't check my beauty products! My daily body wash has wheat! I'm not sure if it's bothering me but it's worth changing to see. Any suggestions of what brand to use that I can easy find? -
ARCHIVED Gluten or SIBO; Should I gluten challenge to find out?
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to MelliF's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Another thing to look into is taking other vitamins and minerals with the D. From all my research vit D supplements are best absorbed when taken with K1,K2 and magnesium. -
ARCHIVED I'm sick of feeling like this!
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to Momma2PirateNPrincess's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you all so much! You made me feel better. It just stinks to see a glimmer of light then bam just like that it's gone again. I've been off balance again, exhausted, headaches and irritable I know I need to give it more time but as you all know, it's so hard! I just want my life back!!! It's difficult for me because I never had true symptoms... -
ARCHIVED I'm sick of feeling like this!
Momma2PirateNPrincess posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I've been gluten-free for almost 3.5 weeks. The first couple weeks were rough but last week I was feeling pretty good. My skin was clearing, I wasn't off balance, headaches gone, had a little more energy and sleeping better! Then over the weekend and especially today it's like pre gluten-free I haven't eaten gluten and although it could be cross contamination... -

ARCHIVED New on this. About Symptoms. (Anxiety, Reflux)
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to nevada-'s topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Heart palps can also be caused by low potassium or simply just stress. From what I understand (and this is what my functional dr thinks happened to me) is that gluten caused inflammation in my body. Inflammation caused cortisol to rise which signals the "flight or fight" response which then triggers anxiety and panic attacks. Your body and brain just basically... -
ARCHIVED Apparently I need support
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to Sick, Tired, and Broken's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hang in there!!!! I've only been gluten-free for 15 days. I have no idea if I have celiac (had gluten sensitivity diagnosed via saliva which I know isn't the best way to test). I've never had many symptoms until 5 months ago when dizziness, anxiety attacks, fatigue, weight loss and insomnia hit out of nowhere. I pretty much stopped driving and going... -
ARCHIVED fatigue while adjusting to gluten-free?
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to elizabelle's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've had extreme fatigue for months and just went gluten free 15 days ago. Sadly I'm no better, even a little worse. I also have low vitamin D which causes fatigue as well so double whammy for me! Have you had all your vitamin levels checked? -
ARCHIVED Wrinkled fingertips, swollen thumb, hair loss...weird stuff
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to Stacy0w's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Have you had all your vitamin levels checked? That could be causing hair loss and ridges in your nails. -
ARCHIVED What Vitamins/supplements Should I Get?
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to Joe0123's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I know this post is super old but I'm looking for a good whole food gluten-free multivitamin. Any suggestions??? -
ARCHIVED Gluten withdrawal?
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to Momma2PirateNPrincess's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I'm seeing a functional dr. He ran a bunch of blood tests and discovered low vit D, immflamation in my body and problems digesting protein. However none of the blood test was for gluten issues. He had me do a 24 HR saliva test which also tested for gliadin (sorry if I misspelled that!) He didn't seem too concerned about celiac being a possibility but did... -
ARCHIVED Muscle pain
Momma2PirateNPrincess replied to Donna73's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I'm totally new to all this gluten free stuff so I'm unsure if muscle pains are related to it. However I'm curious if you've had other vitamin levels tested? Muscle aches can also be related to vitamin d and magnesium deficiency. -
Hi all! I started another post Thursday in this section but don't see it anywhere. Hope it's ok for me to start a new one! I'm new to the gluten-free diet. Today is day 9. I haven't officially been diagnosed with Celiac just gluten sensitivity via saliva. I've had some issues that came out of nowhere almost 5 months ago. Now day 9 and things aren't...

ARCHIVED Yes, another newbie here!
Momma2PirateNPrincess posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I haven't been diagnosed with celiac because I haven't had the testing done. But I was diagnosed with a gluten "sensitivity" via saliva. I've been seeing a functional dr because of issues that came out of nowhere 4.5 months ago (anxiety attacks, insomnia, off balance feeling, fatigue, weakness and sudden weight loss). He ran a bunch of blood work and a 2...
