ARCHIVED Cosmetics! Help!
GF Lover replied to MidnightSaturn's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Sunny. You may experience reactions, and take further precautions that are not the same as someone with classic celiac disease. Many like minded members discuss these issues in the Super Sensitive Forum where others may have experiences closer to your own and may take further precautions to protect themselves from gluten than is typically necessary for... -
ARCHIVED Cosmetics! Help!
GF Lover replied to MidnightSaturn's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You seem to be suggesting that you are NOT getting glutened from ingesting the make-up but rather having a skin reaction to the make-up. Most likely you are reacting to an ingredient in the make-up that is not even connected to gluten. Good Luck. Colleen -
ARCHIVED Questions: Skin Biopsy Of Dh

ARCHIVED Questions: Skin Biopsy Of Dh
GF Lover replied to irish11's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Hi Irish... I've had a ton of biopsies and they can take them from anywhere. They will give a shot first to numb then take the biopsy then a stitch or two if needed. Get some Aquaphor healing ointment to help with healing. I've had some large biopsies and even then it just leaves a bit of a pucker on the skin. Yours will most likely not even leave... -
ARCHIVED Flour Canisters
GF Lover replied to BlessedMommy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The pans on the King Arthur site are USA Pans. They have higher sides. With Gluten free bread, if you use a regular size bread pan, the rising bread will fall over the sides of the pan. It is well worth the investment for this pan. Very sturdy and well made. Good Luck Colleen -

GF Lover replied to wendylady's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
DH can show up in many different places. Possibly look through the DH Photo Bank and some of the threads to get an idea where others have it. Celiacs with DH may not sucessfully test positive on blood tests. A biopsy on the skin adjacent to an active lesion is required. You still must be eating gluten for a DH biopsy and should be done by a Dermatologist... -

ARCHIVED Newbie - Any Advice Please?
GF Lover replied to MummytoDan's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
As Bartfull said, do get your daughter tested. An endoscope would be something to consider. They look for damage and abnormal cells by taking biopsies. Once you have a baseline on any damage, you can have follow up scopes to make sure he is healing if he is still having some issues. His blood tests should be checked periodicallly also to look for reduction... -
ARCHIVED Glutened? How To Handle?
GF Lover replied to durrsakja's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
NO to charcoal tablets. It doesn't to any good and will suck any nutrients right out of your body and cause constipation. Plus, it's really nasty when it comes out the other end. Activated Charcoal is typically used for Overdose cases and Toxic ingestion. Celiac is Autoimmune and the charcoal will have no effect. Good luck Colleen -
ARCHIVED Angular Cheilitis
GF Lover replied to JaneWhoLovesRain's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
There are many possible reasons you have this including Candida Yeast Infections, excessive saliva etc. Look for other things and not just vitamin b as the cause. Good Luck, Colleen -
ARCHIVED Glutened? How To Handle?
GF Lover replied to durrsakja's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
No!!!! Charcoal Tablets....please. You may be fine but if you did ingest a bit it is an autoimmune reaction and you can't stop that. Charcoal will absorb everything....including nutrients, vitamins, mediations, fluids. Chances are you will be fine. Colleen -

ARCHIVED Is Makeup Or Medication Causing These Issues?
GF Lover replied to mllepenelope's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Clonazepam does not have any gluten in it. See here : Open Original Shared Link. Your lipstick, liquid makeup or powder and face lotion would be the only items that should be of concern as far as gluten. If you've been having these depression episodes regularly then you may need to look at other food related issues and preparation and if you eat out... -
My brother gave us a hugh box of chocolate confections for Christmas (in person). It had chocolate covered pretzels in their too. I didn't say anything to him as he was giving a gift. They will be enjoyed by my neighbors. I don't worry about it. It's once a year and I don't expect everyone to keep track of my health issues. Colleen

ARCHIVED Any Band Aids That Dont Contain Soy?
GF Lover replied to John Burlingame's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
If soy is used in a food product is must be listed on the ingrediant lable. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires food manufacturers to list the eight most common ingredients that trigger food allergies. Most other countries have similar rules. In the United States, information about food allergies has to be written in...
