Why I had to get up @5am I'll never know. :blink:

Maybe it was the nightmare. :ph34r:

During the move to SJ, I stayed over somewhere in LA and somehow ran into a very horny Jessica Alba, professing her love for the tenor sax. But *I* had to put a halt to everything to ask what lipstick she used and to look it up for gluten content!!!!!!

Ok I made it up, but I've seen too many makeup/lipstick threads to not wonder.

Q for anyone: What *is* the deal w/ gluten-free lipstick? Is it rare? 50/50? :huh:

I don't care how hot whoever is, I'm planning on never getting glutened again.

The last (in both senses of the word) time was mid-march of '04, after 3mo 100% gluten-free.

I should even commemorate the date in 2014, 2024, etc. :)

Did you ever see my post in response to your question about Lyme and libido (or lack thereof)?

No, it's not rare. Lip glosses are more likely to have gluten in the form of wheat germ oil ... in fact, Lip Smackers is a popular one that does, but it's more likely to be used by teenagers, so you don't have to worry about that one.

But, if you're out on a date and she goes to put on lip gloss, you might ask to read the ingredients ... don't forget your reading glasses!

Body/face lotions, and shampoos/conditioners are more likely to be a problem than lipstick.

Re: lipstick

Okay, so I missed this thread...I assume that the verdict was to...partake...as much as possible while feeling lousy with lyme symptoms, and you will magically begin to feel better. That kind of thinking would not go over well with any listening pharmaceutical reps...but it's great advice. :D

For them, it is a cure-all ... but at least there's only one thing on their lists of things they want from us ... if we take care of that one thing, they'll deal with all the garbage we dish out. Amazing, actually. :lol:

I had two until my husband retired and two became three. :o In a "manly" voice "Mom, where is this, where is that". Oh the joys of retirement.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.
