The salon I was referred to says they use the following for color Wella Colortouch Wella Koleston Perfect Matrix Prisims I'm trying to get to the companies now but if anyone has any info I would really appreciate!!

    I don;t know any in NH but I was DX'd by a Gyno at Mt. Auburn in Cambridge, MA. He says he's been seeing more & more women with food allergies that go undiagnosed. In fact,I was misdiagnosed with Endo & put in chemical menopause for 2 years! This doc actually gave me a list of foods to avoid 1 by 1 & talk every 2 weeks after, well after 3 days...

    even worse, what does that say about handwashing skills of those you work with? maybe remind them that every time you get glutened by things like this, it measn you can't do your job as efficiently and effectivly and that means more work for them? (even if it isn't totally true) Are the gloves at your work the ones without the powder in them? Since that...

    My doc told me I was "urinating frequently" because my bowels were so swollen/enlarged that it was actually pushing against my bladder constantly, therefore no room for the urine. Made sense to me after I went gluten-free & now I can go 1/2 the day without peeing Bully4you, were you sharing a grill that could have been contaminated? I can get sick...

    ok 1st, why haven't you gone gluten-free? 2nd, I've been strict gluten-free for almost 3 years & it's amazing how good I feel. Rarely even get a cold now! And the more I think back to how crappy I felt all the time, I'm stunned that I was able to get through a day. THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END! within 3 days of eliminating just wheat I was able...

    Hi there! I've been living in AZ for several months and have found a few places that are good. Check for Mt. Hope Stores, they carry alot of gluten-free foods and are super helpful. Also I just went to an On The Border in Scottsdale & they were fantastic! not toomuch to choose from but I got a steak & they made me special veggies & it was...

    Thanks all! I was pretty sure but got nervous! I tagged the tailpipe on a Harley & thankfully it's only 1st degree, just really big & really annoying. Also no doc right now but I've had bad burns before (restaurants etc) so I'm not worried but I will definitely keep an eye on it
  9. MistressIsis
    Anyone know if this is safe?? I have a really bad burn & need something....

    I do the smell thing too! All the time! in facr, my friends will ask me if I want a smell...very funny when we're in public places. be patient she will get past the angry part, it takes awhile...probably took me a year as I lived on breads & pastas. Make her some surprise bags...go gt some gluten-free treats that people here mention all the time...

    I had constant lower back pain when I was still eating gluten. Also hips and elbows would constantly hurt, nothing relived any of the pains...but I can't remember how long it took for that part of the fun to kick in...

    Jerryk, man you slay me! I like that you retain your sense of humor with all this...so I am a junk food junkie! It's the hardest part for me living gluten-free...I found 2 cake mixes that are sooo yummy no one will ever know they're gluten-free. Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Chocolate Cake mix & also their Brownie mix and Namaste cake mixes. Mom made...

    Namaste & bob's Red Mill gluten-free chocolate cale mixes...YUMMY! Never know the difference. As for the weight gain, don;t forget that muscle weighs more than fat!!!

    Are there any other family memebers that can help you get them to see the light of day? And maybe warn them that if school finds out they're having her wear too small clothes to get her not to eat may very well call social services... Is she mature enoughfor you to talk to her about elimanating gluten on her own? As a kid I never ate bread, stuffing cereal...
  15. MistressIsis
    wait a minute, are you saying they're bring gluten food into your home?? That's just mean and you have every right to ask them not to! Especially on your birthday! Maybe if you give her the name of a gluten-free mix she can make instead of "normal" ones...Bob's Red Mill actually has a fantastic brownie mix as well as choc. cake mix...and noone will ever...

    hate having to make the speech to the waitress or manager...worse I feel like I'm annoying whoever I happen to be out with. Have to say, CHili's so far has been the most helpful and concerned chain I've been to. My BF was stunned to have the manager come over, bring me a fresh gluten-free menu, explain they update every month so to always ask for a new...

    Ballet! NYC has an excellent DVD you can do at home. Alot of schools offer Adult classes for beginners that are great! You'll tone up and lose that handle on the top of your thing (got that too!) and have better posture. No one expects you to twirl around like you've done it your whole life...they know adults are doing it for the muscle strength, back esp...

    I recently visited my BF and he was drinking beer, everytime he went to kiss me, 1 of us would remember or at worst, he'd kiss me then let out oh Oh! shoot! and hand me a napkin with water. The reaction from people around us was hysterical(well to us) so he's learning but it;s hard to remember since there's usually at least 6 weeks between visits. Although...

    I hear ya! I had a similar thing happen recently and I couldn;t believe how insensitive people were. Heck, my boss made me cry making fun of me in front of everyone at this event which was company wide & mandatory so I suggest this. Write a pleasant note excusing yourself from the donut day from here on out. All you have to say is you have a food allergy...

    WAIT! WHAT? OPI Nail Envy is not gluten-free...that is my favorite product!!

    I'm flying back to Boston for T day & I have no idea what I'm gonna do for food. My mom was really great about it last year but this trip is last minute (literally my flight gets in at 11pm) so how will I go to a store? 1 of my buddies called & said he'll come get me after the family thing so we can have a gluten-free meal, he's doing all the cooking...

    HOLY COW! I had the vertigo thing once & the Doc gave me meds. That did help & it was the only time i had it. But the pins & needles, tingling fingers I had NO idea that's what it was! Still pushing my family to get tested or at least try the diet as so many things described here fit them! But of course they won't no matter how often I tell...

    Initially I lost 10lbs in a week or 2, that was mostly the bloat. I lost another 10 about 6 mths into it but I think that was more because I had a huge life-changing event & just couldn't eat. I put 8 back on & now I fluctuate a few lbs back & forth. Although I seem to be gaining again. Not alot but some pants are a little snuger than they were...

    Amazing to me is that strangers are more pleasant than family! My mother's been really good and last year made me all my own food, even stuffing (wasn't good but she tried & that's what mattered to me) Turns out we decided we're not gonna meet each others families on a big holiday, many reasons and all valid on both sides. So we'll do bits at each...

    Alterna has many gluten-free products...I just posted a list from them
