I told you this shit was funny

[rm]

I can't use the hair stuff I've been raving about anymore. Wheat wheat and wheat. I'm hoping I can cancel the order I already put in since I was about out.

Anyone got any recommendations for shampoo recipes and conditioner recipes? It looks like if I want what I want I have to clean up the kitchen and go all mad science on this thing. (and yes, you can post links to wheat-free shmapoo providers, but I'm so picky about scent and ingredients for other reasons, odds are my kitchen is the only answer at this point).

I'm unhappy.

On the plus side, Villainess soaps and BPAL seem to be safe.

Monday all my wheat goods in the house go bye bye -- opened things in the trash and unopened things (mostly sweets) as an offering to the office to keep them away from my goods.

It's hard, going back and forth between this sense of this entirely not being a big deal at all and then feeling like it is. The only thing I'm sure of, other than I feel better, is that I have no perspective right now.

On another, similar note...when I was diagnosed, I went through the full spectrum of testing, including a DEXA scan (bone density). One of the big issues of celiac is that it causes you to not absorb a wide range of nutrients properly, and high on the list is calcium. My bone density was such that my doc recommended supplements, but not so bad that it needed the heavy-duty prescription sort. If you decide to start taking supplements (which you probably should - osteoporosis is NOT fun), be sure that the supplement contains vitamins A & D as well - they are necessary for optimum absorption of the calcium. I use GNC's "Calcium Plus 1000".

I acutally had my bone density tested a couple of years ago because of a different matter and it was not only good, but better than they expected, so I'm not too worried, but I will definitely start taking suppliments. Certainly, I do feel the nutritional aspect of this explains why my eyes had been twitching (which also happens when I don't eat right) for about a month before this turned into something awful, and seems to be stopping now.
