Hi everyone,

I contacted Jergens today and she said (immediately) that NONE of their products are gluten free, because everything is from outside sources.

I've had that reply as well. I wonder if any of these companies have any idea what a large part of the population they are cutting themselves off from.

Just think, it's the Celiac in the whole house hold who dictates the products that are used by the family.

Perhaps this is something we should be telling companies when we get that 'I can't garentee" answer.

I know! I was a little disappointed, but I also bought some Revlon products and called them and THOSE were a go, so it made me feel better ! :)

I would translate that into "We don't know and we don't care!"

You are right Peter, but as more of us are diagnosed, they all had better start caring or they are going to lose a lot of business. After all, the free market place is based on money. Perhaps that's the way our Celiac groups should start putting their pressure on to educate these companies about how many are really going to drop out of their market share. I really believe that in a few very short years, those of us with Celiac disease will have enough power to affect the bottom line of a good many companies. We probably could now, but I think a good many of us are too shy to call in to companies, or meekly say "okay" instead of saying, "well, why don't you know what you put in your products?" and "why should anyone buy those products if you can't say what's in them?"

It's the same thing that will be happening with forcing companies to lower the salt content in their pre-made foods. We baby boomers are getting older with many blood pressure and heart issues. And we will be the majority of the population. Putting 36 - 45% of a daily allowable amount in one can of soup is not necessary, nor should it be allowed. Think of the cost to the health care system.

Okay, that's my rant for the day :lol:

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
