I, too, use Dove mousse and hairspray without problems. I have very curly hair and the mousse seems to tame it quite well. The hairspray also works great...I use it to control wispies during performances and it holds even when I'm sweating under those hot stage lights. Macy

CHOCOLATE Viactiv!! My daily 3 of these foil-wrapped wonders have been helping me rebuild my poor osteoporetic bones which...keeps me dancing (the other thing I can't live without)! Macy

When I go on tour (ballet company stays in hotels), I always pack my own food. Some of my favorites include: Tasty Bite Madras Lentils (can boil or microwave)-yummy on rice and very filling Annie Chun's Rice Express (fresh, already-steeamed rice bowls) GoGo Rice Pre-Cooked Seasoned Rice Bowls, Hawaiian (high calorie for when you're really hungry...

JennyC, Check your private messages...I sent you one re: a Portland doctor. Macy's Mom

Simply rinse off the pre-cut fruit! I do it all the time when I'm on the road and want something different/nutritious to eat. Yes, it does remove some of the flavor and vitamins...but I'd rather be safe than sorry with regard to cross-contamination. My friends laugh at me <shrugs>. EAT YOUR FRUIT!!! Macy

I eat Cascade Fresh! Actually, I live on Cascade Fresh...three cartons a day!!! It's fat-free, gluten-free (labeled so right on the container), has no cross-contamination risks, and contains 8 live active cultures. It's all-natural, fruit-juice sweetened, not derived from rBGH-treated cows, and available in 10 flavors. One 6-ounce container supplies...

Whitney728...thank you!!! Your list of restaurants and directions have been packed. Leaving in four days. I'm drool when I think of having panini at Risoterria. Don't you love Prague! I represented the United States at the World Tap Dance Championships in Lujubljana, Slovenia...and spent several days in Prague as well. It's one of my favorite...

My sincere thanks to everyone who replied to my query! I'm very slowly figuring out the different sections of Manhattan. From what you told me, Anna Isabel, Risoterria is in the West Village. I think that Greenwich Village is part of the West Village...right? I have an appointment with NYU-Tisch's Dance Department on one day and an interview in NYU...

Hello New Yorkers! I so excited! I will be traveling to New York in two weeks. My first trip to this huge city!! I will be in the Morningside Heights area of Manhattan and will be visiting Columbia University, Barnard College, NYU and Juilliard. Since my diagnosis two years ago, I have never eaten in a restaurant. I'm super sensitive and asymptomatic...

Thank you to everyone who responded! This forum helps me so much!! Macy

Another thirty days have gone by, and I get to add back another gluten-free porduct to my . Since I'm asymptomatic when I get glutened, I need everybody's help!! Has anybody had problems with Thai Kitchen's Thai Peanut Stir-Fry Noodles? It's gluten-free, of course...says so right on the package. The rice noodles are produced in a dedicated facility...

My mom brought home three boxes of Lundberg's Risotto for me to try: Garlic Primavera, Creamy Parmesan, and Butternut Squash. I am verysensitive to minute amounts of gluten, but have no symptoms, so I never know when I've been glutened or what product did it. I completely trust Lundberg Farms in terms of cross-contamination with their rices and rice...

Didn't even consider that a dig! I'm not being put on it to avoid pregnancy, but rather, to restore hormone levels (to keep my bones healthy with estrogen) and so I can shed the uterine lining every 4 months. Since my osteoporosis help lead my doctor in the direction of celiac, she has since been very concerned about my bone health. The patch wouldn...

My endocrinologist is putting me on Seasonal in a couple weeks. I'm 17, weigh 85 pounds, and have never had a period...we're concerned about my bone health. She has confirmed that it is gluten-free. My question is this...if I'm still not absorbing nutrients well right now, will I be able to absorb the hormones in the pill? Thank you. I have learned...
