    I was told definitely lipstick because most people eventually "eat" it off. I was also told that some people unexplainably even react to cosmetics on their skin too. Whole gluten molecules supposedly can't go through skin, but the experiences of some people contradict that.

    Enterolab will do a casein stool test. DiagnosTech can do a saliva test for casein as well. I use Thorne supplements. They are specifically made for allergy people and very reliable. I also got great information when I checked with Pioneer Supplements. Since I am sensitive to gluten, corn, soy, eggs and dairy, it gets really hard to find supplements...

    Never thought my symptoms matched Lyme. I don't really have any joint or muscle pain. Don't recall any bites that were suspect either. But you never know. I have made my own soap for years. That's one way I avoid that problem anyway. I like Burt's Bees, but I don't know about everything they make. I'm obviously still learning.

    Thanks Felidae! After reading a lot of these message boards lately, I'm beginning to see that most people don't get over this thing very fast. I'll hang in there. It must be really wonderful to feel normal. I'm not sure I ever have either. Been sick a L O N G time.

    Hi Rachel, Enterolab said that I definitely have one celiac gene and one gluten intolerant gene. I probably just have the names wrong. Sorry. I agree that most medical doctors aren't up to speed on this thing. It's just that when you are dealing with additional scary symptoms, it's hard to go it alone. It is so tempting to try to get professional...

    Hi Ravenwoodglass, Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I've been watching the cosmetics pretty closely just in case. I've particularly quit wearing lipstick until I have a chance to find a gluten free one. You're not the first one to suggest B12 for my symptoms. I'll try it! I do take a very expensive allergy Multiple Vitamin/mineral by Thorne...

    Thanks so much Leah! I have actually been very careful. I've called all my supplement companies, many food companies and checked every label. I agree that there's a lot to learn. But I can't see that I'm getting any inadvertant gluten or dairy anywhere. I am actually very patient when it comes to getting well. But I was hoping to get somebody out there...

    Hello Everyone. I'm in my 50's and just got back a saliva test from Diagnos Tech in March and a comprehensive stool test from Enterolab in July. Both strongly indicate celiac so I'm accepting it as a done deal. The Enterolab test says I have one gluten intolerant gene (DQ1) and one celiac gene (DQ3), mild malabsorption, some intestinal damage from...

    Hi, I'm brand new today, both with trying to talk on a forum and being diagnosed with celiac. I don't have a clue how to do this. I'm not even sure if this will post. I tried to send one before and it didn't work. Can anyone walk me through this? I'd sure appreciate it.
