Glutened And Dh Came Raging Back

Well it's been about 8 months since my DH improved to a level where I could live a normal life. It never really went completely away but it was way better than it was last year around this time. I've been gluten free since OCT of 2013 and the DH didn't really kick in until 3 months AFTER I went gluten free. I posted some of my story in the past so I won't go into it again.

 

I'm here today because I got glutened and my DH has exploded over the last couple days. I know it'll go away again and better days are coming but I wanted to check in with those who have had a "glutening" experience.

 

Please... Share... How did your reoccurance unfold and eventually end? I will also share mine as time goes on.

Well I guess I'll just reply here to hopefully offer a ray of light to the next person in my shoes. On the 13th it was raging, on the 16 the fluid started to subside, and by today the 19th much of the fluid has gone and the lesions and sores are healing quickly.

 

My previous and only other DH experience acted just like this except the fluid would come back at night, over and over, for months. This time (fingers still crossed) the fluid came on hard and strong but then subsided. This outbreak was by far the most severe I ever had but it is subsiding as quickly as it came. There is still a chance it could come back in another wave and I will update here if it does.

I'm glad you are healing quickly!

Wow, that must have been so awful for you. The final picture looks like a brand new hand!

Well as most of you know, it only feels about 100 times worse than it looks.

Yup. I know that feeling. My hubs gets it like that on his hands too -- mostly on the fingers like yours. Horrid place as you can't hide it, you can't keep anything on it because it will get washed off every time you wash your hands and washing hands just seems to irritate it further. I sure like that last photo! I breathed so much easier when I saw that one. Before that was like flashback city. (Shudders)

      They both do. The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors.

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values. Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup. I use them as a gluten free substitute...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
