Having a dialogue with someone who has been diagnosed Celiac by an acupuncturist means we are not singing off the same sheet of music. I don't mean to single anyone out, but the common "gold standard" for diagnosing Celiac disease is a biopsy of the small intestine usually conducted by a gastroenterologist. What has preceded this, often, are blood tests, commonly known as the Celiac panel.

Having said that, I don't entirely object to (known) Celiacs "going rogue" with their own experiments. If you read books like The Limits of Medicine, you will see that advances of medicine are often made by taking chances. Although taking chances should probably not be recommended on a mass scale.

Going rogue and doing one's own experiments, though, is not without responsibility. You need to test your hypothesis, and test it openly, accurately and honestly. This would mean, perhaps, in this instance checking your antibodies. I don't think it is necessarily responsible to post what you are doing as you have here and then never report back. On the other hand, no one reading it should take your story as validation that they can do the same.

On another topic, what does the "hot" label on this message board mean? Does anyone know?

I know this is a very old post, but today (April 6, 2012) I called Pureology before I bought their DryShine Hair Styler (Shine & Control).

They said it was gluten free.
