Hello From Hong Kong

Hi everyone!

I know most of you are in the US, and this post might make you say 'what??' Well, I have just moved to Hong Kong from the US. I was diagnosed with celiac sprue 2 years back, in Chicago. My then nutritionalist gave me the name of this site and I signed up. But wasen't active in the forum. Today I was reading a post on mental fatigue and realised that is what I am going through as well. I have decided that I will often visit this and other forums on this site. Physical distance dosen't count now-a-days :)

So, hello and hope everyone is getting along well without gluten!

Shweta-

Hello and welcome! I hope the diet is going well in Hong Kong and that you are able to get the products you need. I spent a few days in that city several years ago--very neat. Gorgeous view of city when you are flying in--looks like its built right in the mountains!

I'm originally from California but I live in Beijing. I have a very difficult time finding gluten-free products! I've read of several shops and restaurants in HK that offer gluten-free stuff. I'm glad you have some possibilities. If you ever get up to Beijing, send me a message!

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application. And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful...

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

      Hi Im new to this game, so bear with me. May through to December last year totally miserable, covered literally head to toe in the worst rash ever, itching like I just cant explain. After seven different medics told me just to "keep putting the cream on, whatever it is will go in the end" finally one lovely doc diagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.

Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.

Biopsy 6 weeks ago and Dapsone, which I seem to be tolerating OK so far.  The NHS is in permanent backlog so no result yet but just wanted to say hello to anyone else with this maddening condition.
