I noticed that squirmingitch hasn't been on lately. I tried to send her a message and it wouldn't allow me to. Anyone know if she's ok? She helped me so much after I was diagnosed and I miss her!

Looks like she posted on Friday.  I wouldn't file a missing person's report yet.?

You can look at someone's profile and see the last post they made.  Its supposed to tell you when they were last logged in, but when I looked, that didn't seem to be working right.

Faryn, how sweet of you to worry about me. Thank you. It's always touching to know people are concerned about other people. Thank you for caring.:wub:

I am good! For the last 6 or 8 months though, it seems like my life is out of control. I have no time and I don't know why. Every day I seem to be running & huffing & puffing just to get a few spare minutes. I know part of it is the Fasano diet I have been on which means I'm cooking more than ever before but that certainly isn't the whole reason. My husband & I are trying to readjust the things we used to do & not expect the same to continue forever. For example; the house used to get vacuumed every other day like clockwork. We've now instituted 2 days per week for the vacuuming. We're aging & just can't keep up the every other day thing so 2 days a week it is. 

For months and months I was having computer problems. Apple was working with me to resolve them. There were many, many, many, many phone calls back & forth and gobs of hours spent to isolate the problems and then to solve them. That took up massive quantities of time! I think we've got it licked now though. Thank you Apple!

I have no idea why you couldn't pm me. I haven't changed any of my settings, at least I don't think so. I'll go double check.

I discovered the problem with messaging me. I had used up all of my space. 100% full. OOPS!:o I cleaned out my messages so now there's room again.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      We have a category of articles on this topic if you really want to dive into it: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
