Seen The Article In Dec Vogue?

Hi,

I just wanted to let all the parents here know that there is an article in December's Vogue magazine by a woman whose daughter has severe peanut allergy. Most of us here don't have that exact problem, but it was nice seeing a serious food problem addressed in such a mainstream magazine.

There are many "recognizable" stories in it, such as the doctor who carelessly left a peanut butter sandwich within reach of the peanut-allergic toddler, and uh..."helpful" friends, and the mother's own acknowledgement that she is like a watchdog on steroids re her daughter but what else can she do.

Maybe I'll write in and tell them I really enjoyed the story, lol!

Thanks for the heads up, my daughter has a life threatening peanut and tree nut allergy and she reacts to peanuts airborn as well. I'll go read the article asap.

You should write the magazine a note--and tell them about Celiac too :) Even articles on allergies not relating to Celiac mean awareness of all these things is growing...

Can't remember what magazine it was, but it was the article that got me to ask my dermatoligist about my rash, which just got diagnosed as Dermatitis Herptiformis, realted to gluten intolerence.

      I have had celiac for over 5 years.  I am in a smaller town, and it is not a common thing.  Can you all help me with a few things?  I keep going to my Doctor because I am so tired.  I mean really tired.  I also have joint pain and headaches.  I was told this is from Celiac, but they say the tiredness may not be.  If so, does anything help you with this?  I am on Vitamin B shots, but they are not taking care of the problem.  Also, when I eat eggs, they tear me up.  This gives be intestinal issues badly.  Eggs in things, do not bother me as eating a boiled or fried egg.  I need some celiac friends and advice.  Thanks all!!

      Hi everyone, I decided to post this since there's no enough online information. I'm concerned about the enzyme capsules that are said to help digest gluten.  I'm waiting to end my university exams to start the gluten challenge and do the official diagnosis for Celiac Disease. A friend of mine suggested me to buy the "Gluten Digest Now" capsules during the Gluten Challenge to manage my severe side effects. But I'm not sure if it's worth it, if it's celiac disease the intestinal damage will occur regardless.  What about the symptoms? There's someone that knows if it could help to reduce them?  I’m worried people might be using these as a "safety net" without understanding how they work. Has anyone here used them during a challenge? Did they make a difference, or did they just provide a false sense of security?

      Try heallix solution. It's at heallix.com It's a silver and fulvic acid solution.  I just put it on a cotton ball and wiped the shingles area. I also took a little internally once a day. I can't remember how many times a day I applied to the area. Probably  3-4 times a day. It was the only thing that stopped the nerve pain. I don't know if the vaseline is good.  The shingles need to dry out and heal.  Wash everything that comes in contact  with them in hot water. Don't use or wear anything twice.

      My husband just had shingles going on 7 weeks now. We had been putting Vaseline on the blisters and lidocaine cream and he was prescribed an antiviral.  Also he still has the nerve pain it was bad and is getting better it is his upper left torso. His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every 6 hrs. Hope this helps  The lidocaine cream is by tylenol and is available in a large tube on Amazon or at Walmart

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.
