    becky - where do i find a list of gluten-y cosmetic ingredients so i can learn to scan bottles like you?

    i get the toe cramps with a VENGEANCE! except way, way less now that i'm gluten-free. they suck - usually my second toe, sometimes third, will just crank over to one side over another toe and just will not go back. i have found no remedy but time. i rub them too, but that just might occupy me rather than help. i remember one of the worst cases...

    i was on armour thyroid 4 years ago. the doctor (an ENT/allergist) told me then he thought i probably had a wheat intolerance that was actually behind the hypothyroidism as well as the sinus infections, depression, constant illness, and fatigue. but i was not ready to hear it. he was a good sport though and went ahead with the armour thyroid as well as...

    Here's a recipe I haven't tried yet from Michael Cox's "Gluten-Free" cookbook.* Michael Cox's Cornbread oil for greasing 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons bacon fat, dripping or vegetable shortening 1 1/8 cups cornmeal or fine polenta 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 cup and 1 tablespoon milk with squeeze...

    yes, i'd imagine so - lucky you bronco! whereas here in the south it's nigh bout impossible to get your hands on a cold... delicious... refreshing... gluten-free beer. *sigh* so pour a little of that on the Nevada desert for your thirsty celiac homies in the dirty (dry!) south. but just a little!

    i've been gluten-free almost 3 yrs now. it's taken me a good long while to get truly gluten-free, mostly because i had *no* idea how to cook *anything* (no, really! I grew up eating fast food, then ate in college cafeteria.) things that i suffered my whole life that got better: nightmares anxiety depression canker sores things i had...

    don't know about WF, but here's Stonyfield Farm's gluten info: "Does your yogurt contain gluten? Our nonfat, lowfat and whole milk plain yogurts do not contain any gluten source ingredients. We do not add gluten to our products; however, some of the NATURAL FLAVORS used to make our products may contain gluten-derived stabilizers." boo - i didn...

    i am a serious teeth grinder - it's horrible. bruxism. sometimes the noise will even wake *me* up. i have a night guard but don't wear it because i'm not sure it fits right anymore since i got a bridge. and cause i usually just spit it out into the bed in the middle of the night anyway and have to dig through the sheets to find it in the morning. ew...

    thank you for this advice!!! i am definitely sensitive enough that this matters. what happens when you're at a restaurant where the drinks all come from a full-service bar - is there a way to get water not from the gun? (so many things to think about!!!) thanks again, paula

    1. re: throat - i get an immediate reaction when i get glutened. my mouth and throat feel kind of swelly and tingly, and my nose gets stuffed up. like *immediately*. i'm also mildly freaked out ( is that an oxymoron?) about that. it's nice to be able to tell, though, when there's gluten - it's been an extremely reliable reaction. unfortunately, it's...

    i heard word of one lovely and talented performer who eats gluten-free. but ... no outing the celebrities. better hush hush, keep all this celiac celebrity talk down now - voices carry.
  12. paulasimone
    yes - i had the same problem - here's another post with info from stoli saying most vodkas are made from wheat: Open Original Shared Link I recommend Lukosawa - it's inexpensive Polish vodka made from potatoes.

    here's a thread that talks about having a LUMP feeling in the throat (plus lots of other things, like thyroid): Open Original Shared Link paula

    it did - and it was *so* much more delicious. if you want to see for yourself, try Boylan's Natural Cane Cola (look out - Boylan's has a "Natural" line and a regular one with artificial flavors - the Natural is not only healthier, but way more delicious.) Before I gave up caffeine, I had a serious addiction to Cane Cola. Ideally, you want some crushed...

    I couldn't find any info on Smirnoff's site re: their ingredients. But on Stoli's site they had this under "ingredients": "Historically, vodka has been made from whtaever agricultural crop is most abundant and cheap, but modern vodka is made principally from various grains, most often corn, rye, and wheat. Rye is common in eastern European vodkas whereas...

    dear richard, thanks for the info. i'll pull my comments re: vinegar and liquor until i get some more definitive info. thanks! paula

    there was another forum on this called "mouth sores". here's my post from there about changing your toothpaste to non-SLS (from a lifetime of horrible ulcers to almost never!) - you can view other posts from there: Open Original Shared Link good luck!

    sagesmama said: I found myself saying these very words *today* to one of my colleagues about my own celiac disease. I laughed out loud when i thought about it - yes it *is* difficult to absorb! you know, like, *nutrients*. Welcome and good luck!

    i was diagnosed by a wonderful doctor who is an ENT/allergist in Durham.

    i didn't form enamel right on my teeth either - had to get sealants, too. i've also had yellowish tint to them my whole life. i heard it was vitamin deficiency. guess that makes sense now.
  22. paulasimone
    i'm like rachel and ian - i had vivid, horrific nightmares all the time. much less so now that i'm gluten-free. seems to make sense (to me at least) with what i've read in the science journals of documented connection between celiac and psychosis, schizophrenia, etc - some theorize that celiac-related psychosis is partly because you can't absorb the...

    i'm sorry you're still sicky! 1. i would imagine going back on the gluten would definitely throw your body off for a good while. 2. are you doing probiotics? (acidopholus, etc, either through yogurt or supplements) i've heard it's important to replace those "good" bacteria when you're going gluten-free - they're part of what makes your digestion...

    ARCHIVED Mouth Sores

    paulasimone replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    re: canker sores - it's your toothpaste!!!! I was able to stop most of my canker sore outbreaks even *before* I got diagnosed and went gluten-free, because I read about a medical study saying some 80% (?) of canker sore sufferers got better when they used toothpaste *without* sodium lauryl sulfate (or sodium laureth sulfate). I been plagued with...
