Awesome - thanks for the suggestion. I'll now be looking for Everyday Minerals and waiting with you for the re-issuance of the lip gloss.

Anybody found a gluten-free lipstick that's also SOY free? Everything I can find contains tocopherols derived from soy.

I can totally see that. I guess I feel cheated, too, just in sort of the opposite way. I am a cyclist and runner and I have also always been extremely careful about what I eat, so I've always been slender - since long before I got sick. And celiac (pre-diagnosis) actually made me gain wait, and going gluten-free has helped me get back where I was before...

I just walked into the lunch room and nuked my gluten-free df tuna noodle casserole (disappointingly bland). Somebody asked me what was in it, so I told her it was gluten-free pasta. She responded by saying her aunt just got diagnosed with celiac, and a general discussion was started about it. People asked questions, I explained. At the end of the...

I think it depends so much on the individual person, too. I'm ridiculously, irritatingly sensitive to gluten, and have had to give up eating any "gluten free" products that weren't produced in a dedicated facility because I wound up getting sick from foods so often that are supposedly gluten-free. I know other (lucky!) people who don't have nearly the kind...

Going off gluten I felt great at first, then all the symptoms came back about 3 months later. Felt crummy in every way, including brain fog, no energy, digestive problems, and I looked gray. Then I discovered there were 2 reasons I was feeling rotten again 1) I wasn't really getting all the gluten out of my diet (just because it says gluten free on the...

For what it's worth, I take Tylenol PM on a relatively regular basis and have never had a problem, and I'm super sensitive. I've never tried the vanilla, though.

You rock - thanks for the info! That's going to make my Saturday dinner far more enjoyable!!!

Anybody know if any of the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que sauces or marinades are gluten free? A friend is planning a dinner party and wants to use the Dinosaur Creole Honey Mustard Sauce as a marinade. The list of ingredients looks relatively okay: Brown Sugar, Honey, Natural Smoke Flavor, Prepared Mustard, Roasted Garlic, Spices, Tomato Sauce, Vinegar, Xanthan Gum...

Congrats!!! I hope she sticks with it and feels results. I wish I could make progress in that area - NONE of my family members will get tested or even go gluten free for a trial. Dad has chronic intestinal problems, Mom has some symptoms, too, amy sister won't get my 16 month old niece tested even though she is under weight and they can't seem to get her...

Thanks to all who have added to this - I needed to hear some positive things, especially today. After 2 1/2 months of being gluten free and seeming to have stalled out in my progress, I've been completely overwhelmed by trying to figure out if I have to give up other foods in addition to gluten. It does give me reason to hope it's going to continue to improve...

I'm new at this - just diagnosed celiac about 2 1/2 months ago. I definitely feel better without the gluten, when I can actually manage to go a few days without accidentally glutening myself (I keep finding the hard way the gluten in the hidden places like shampoo, and cross-constamined "gluten-free" products) And when I've ingested gluten I usually DEFINITELY...

I suppose it's possible - heck ANY intolerance is possible - although I eat a lot of foods that contain soy and don't have a problem. Could be another ingredient, too, though. I hate having to spend so much time staring at labels to figure out what several bothersome foods might have in common!

Ever tried trazodone? Before I got diagnosed I had horrible sleeping problems - couldn't fall asleep, felt like there was electric current running through me I was so restless and jumpy, and if I dozed off, I'd jerk awake again. Really puts a damper on life. My Dr. at the time prescribed trazodone, and it made all the difference in the world. Fell asleep...
