Dh Or Whatever It Is Driving Me Crazy...so Is My Mother!

A few places are healing and bam 2 new blisters appear around my mouth, I have 4 areas total on my scalp and each have new painful bumps, back of neck and forehead so my entire head is pounding. I called the derm office today to get an appointment and I get voicemail, and they actually never called back from the last time I called, when I had a persistent external yeast infection in January...hmmm gluten issue too? Idk a mega dose of diflucan resolved it and I removed possible other irritant.

 

Anyway my mother is like...well you know Androgel (which BF is on) can cause this...um yeah he just went back on it beginning of March, I've had skin issue for YEARS...so then she starts with the maybe try this, what about that, did they ever give you an antibiotic for it? ARE YOU USING DIAL SOAP? YOU NEED TO USE GOLD DIAL!!! Ugh...no Mom not currently using Dial, but did for the months I lived with her...last May-Oct and guess what I still had this stuff going on...again I had just brushed it off to something I had to live with...just "bad skin"...but not so bad that I ever considered going to a dermatologist before... next appt with GI is April 29th. Will see what he says about the blood results...still don't have actual readable copy of results because I'd have to go in person and show ID to get the results they scanned in and I can't read or print..and it's 45 min away.

 

Also two months now with no period, neg blood preg test, didn't think so but while I was at NP I had her check just to make sure...missed December too... I feel like several symptoms have hit harder since the Fall and I never had the thought of Celiac until March so it's not all in my head or stress making it worse....my friend says just screw the docs and go Gluten free and see if it helps...but I want to get a dx if possible and do not want to go off then back on.

I'm allergic to those antibacterial soaps, I hate when I have to use them in public restrooms and have to try to rinse all the residue off,  and was a horrible mess in my job with skin breaking out decades ago when I had to use that Dial soap at work, constantly.  :angry:  That and people treating antibacterial gel as if it would remove actual dirt or gluten.... :wacko:

She's a nurse...while she doesn't dismiss my gluten theory I think she's just trying to be helpful with the rash but I try to explain its a reaction not a fungus or infection.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
