Can't you explain to your friends, that even though you ate bread before, you shouldn't have, that you just didn't know it? That eating bread makes you sick! And now that you know what makes you feel bad, wouldn't they want you to feel better too, by avoiding what is poison for you?

I really don't understand why some people don't believe us. Your friends are supposed to care about you! Some of my family isn't very understanding, but fortunately my friends care a lot, and believe me. I guess it sucks when they don't.

I hope you'll either convince your friends soon, or make new ones who believe you, and want what's best for you.

Yeah it can be tough. Some people don't believe me either. People are weird :P If someone gets diagnosed with diabetes, and they suddenly can't eat sugar, nobody's going to tell them they should eat sugar now just becasue they did before. Tell your friends it's kinda like that. You should also make them some really yummy gluten-free cupcakes or brownies, so they can see that your food is good and not really that weird or different.

Welcome to the boards!

Well, can't help you with finding folks in Utah, but, let's discuss your friend issue. Personally, if that was me, I would mostly likely reply, "Well, I guess you don't have a headache because you weren't hurting before. Or, guess you don't have asthma because you could breathe just fine before" But, it would probably be good to take it on a nicer note :) Anyway, it's important that people you come in contact understand you can't consume gluten and that it is very harmful to you. Maybe your parents can convince them? Hope whatever best for you works out. =)

If you need anything, give me a PM!

Last summer I worked in Utah for my uncle, who gives tours through the Escelante Canyon area, and I started having gluten problems out there. It took me about half a year to figure out what it was, and I turned into a stick! Utah is great, and I am sorry you're having friend problems. Losers. It isn't that hard to understand. Wish I could eat lunch with you! It is so hard to eat lunch watching everyone eat lasagna and pasta and ketchup..... :(

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Celiac symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
