Thank you so much each of you for the reassuring advise. I just hated the thought that this may go on forever!

Squirm: The derm does seem pretty knowledgable but ever once in awhile he says something that makes me wonder. He said if my rash continues then they will do a biopsy, I have been gluten free almost a year, a biopsy will not show them anything. So that has me concerned. Also my rash is a little different than most I see and hear about on here, and it was actually diagnosed from an allergist and my endo confirmed it. So sometimes when I go to the derm he thinks I am just having a "contact" reacion since I don't always blister. Today I have something going on in the same spots I always react but it looks like phriosis (sp?).


rose: do all thyroid meds have iodine in them? I take Synthroid, but I do remember that the one thing my endo said to me as I was leaving his office after my first visit "oh yeah, and don't believe all the iodine talk" I never asked what he meant by that, so maybe my synthroid is doing this to me?

Thanks for all the kind words. I keep telling my family that I have to stop trying all these new recipes for baking or we are going to gain 100 lbs eating junk food that we normally wouldn't eat, lol!

My mom will not get tested for Celiac and my brother is about to have a piece of his intestines removed due to severe damage from ulcerative colitis so I keep hoping that if they see how good things can be and realize that when we have these family dinners they are eating gluten free that they take the steps they need to to get theirselves tested.

Bought this in the gluten free section of a Walmart store. Of course not my local Walmart, so when I made it and really liked it I tried to find it at my Walmart...no luck. My local Walmart does not even have a gluten free section.

I will be making a special trip to pick up several boxes soon, as it was the best I have tried so far.

I have only been at this since October of 2011, but travel a lot mostly eating out, since i have been gluten free I have been on 4 major trips.  I too love when the chef comes to my table to talk to me, what I think bugs me the most about it all is just how much I have to "think" about things, it almost makes my brain hurt      I can't tell you how many times I say "I'm just going to hire a personal chef so I don't have to think about this so much.
