Apologies for my over-reaction. As the shampoo exposure was only for a couple week or so, I doubt any lab tests would have indicated exposure. Unfortunately, since I didn't have the antibodies, I can only rely on my symptoms to tell me if I've been exposed. I'm fortunate enough that eliminating gluten (and dairy) from my diet completely fixed my... -
The reason I think it was the shampoo? Process of elimination. Our house is almost entirely gluten free (except for this shampoo which slipped through the cracks until I read the ingredient label). My husband has bread that he eats at lunch, but he practices something that resembles aseptic technique from the lab when he's making his sandwiches. He's...

I also can't have dairy but through a series of experiments and a lot of research I think I've pinpointed my problem. It may or may not be the same for you, but I thought I'd share. There are two kinds of beta-casein protein A1 and A2. We'll call A1 "bad casein" and A2 "good casein". The two proteins differ only in a single amino acid, but this is enough...

I'm a scientist, and I did a little research into the study. Looks valid and it was published in a respected journal. http://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(17)36352-7/pdf The science looks solid. As someone who didn't have a super clean cut diagnosis before going gluten free, I'd love to see something like this become available. Then...

I've actually been glutened by shampoo with hydrolyzed wheat protein, and I wasn't even the one using it. It was my husbands! I swear I don't go around eating my husbands hair. I am pretty sensitive though, so it's entirely believable that the trace amounts in his hair were getting onto his and my hands and then making its way to my mouth, etc...

I love light yoga when I'm recovering from a glutening. I understand how hard it is to get back into exercise when you're just beginning to recover. I find that yoga engages my muscles in a pleasant and non stressful way and it definitely helps with the aches I usually encounter post-glutening. I try to walk as much as possible, take the stairs. Exercise...

does sugar free chewing gum cause problems
dopaminegirl replied to blahblah's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Some of the artificial sweeteners used in gum are actually used as laxatives in larger doses, especially the sugar alcohols (usually ending with -ol, e.g., sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol). We also tend to have more sensitive stomachs, so it might not take much to set yours off. -
Fish Oil (Nordic Naturals or any) does it help?
dopaminegirl replied to LexieA's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
There is some very interesting research out there with regard to the benefit of Omega 3s for inflammation. Most of these clinical trials use doses that it would be difficult to achieve with diet alone. I personally take fish oil because generalized inflammation seems to be a big problem for me. As long as you're taking a gel capsule you can see through...
