It May Be A Fluke, But I Think I Cured My Rosacea

I've been using Mederma (you buy it over-the-counter next to the first aid creams) for my surgery scar and biopsy scars, anyway. Recently, I sprouted all these disgusting pimples under my chin ; the rheumatologist thought they were an extension of the rosacea on my face. Anyway, for some reason it occurred to me that if Mederma can help heal scar tissue, maybe it could help heal ugly pimples, so I swabbed some under my chin one night when I was feeling particularly frustrated and disgusted.

The next morning, the pimples were gone. :blink:

It may be a total fluke, so if you try this, try it on a very small area. I'd hate for anyone to read this, try it, and have a terrible reaction!

Anyway, I can't help wondering if it would be effective on DH....If anybody else tries this, please let us know if it worked for you, or if it was just a fluke.

      We had the follow up endoscopy 1 year out from the first one. We left that day and they said visually it looked good so he thought she'd be negative again. Results came back this week as celiac sprue present and level Marsh 3A. So she doesn't have much damage but she is now positive for celiacs... Just thought I'd post in case in takes anyone else a year to get a diagnosis.

      @thejayland10, did you read this article?

      I need to supplement my vitamin intake and was told AG1 was a good product.  I checked their website and they claim to be gluten-free, but I see that barley is one of the ingredients.  If the product is gluten-free how can it safely contain barley?

      @nataliallano, whatever else can be said, you need to get serious about eating gluten free. Lots of people with celiac disease are like you. We call them "silent celiacs". They have few or no GI symptoms and falsely assume no damage is being done to their body by continuing to consume gluten. Neurological damage is one of them.

      Good day, From browsing this forum, I've come to find out that even on a gluten-free diet, many people seem to take years for their antibodies to go down to normal levels, and also that hidden gluten could keep the levels from going down to normal indefinitely. Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive given that they had gone gluten free for less than 2 years or so, and especially if they had not been careful about cross-contamination or had cheat days? The criteria for the gluten challenge makes it seems like the possibility of false negative is high in general.
