Forgive me ignorance M....do you mean Dermatitis Herpetiformis?? <sp?>

I thought that was blisters??? :unsure: ....no blisters on Tel

Nik, my DH doesn't always form into blisters. I get it rarely now, but when I do it's raised red splotches that hurt (not much itching). Sometines a sore that appears alone will blister after a day or two, but not always. They look like the picture of the breakout on the person's back about halfway down this article (though thankfully, never this bad):

I remember someone saying in a DH thread that the condition can vary somewhat and present a little differently from celiac to celiac.

Food fer thought!

Actually, it would be good if Tel's rash WAS DH........then you'd know what it was! :)

Amanda--do you mean a veggie garden or flowers?

In general, you should wait until after the last frost for flowers, shrubs and things like that. I'm not too familiar with veggie gardens. I used to have one years ago....there are a couple things I think you can plant early, but I used to have tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and lettuce--and those I planted in probably mid-late May.

You can get the ground ready earlier, though--if you need to till. That way you'll be all set to go when it gets warm enough.

I'm sure other green-thumbed sillies will be of more help :D

I have tried 5 times to reply and everytime someone comes to my desk and interrupts me..... can't they see I am busy!!!

I am planting tomatoes, sugar snap peas, cucumbers, maybe lettuce but in the front of the house I am planting flowers (not sure what) and by the fence and back porch some sunflowers. I am excited!!!!

My av is simply in need of a updating.

My plans are coming together for the FL trip for my mom. We are heading there for mothers day weekend. I am glad I held off on plane tickets. Now Southwest has one way tickets for $55. Originally it was 69 which was still cheap. I can't way. We are going to take her for a ride to the Keys. :):)

How exciting! Yes, there are some very good deals on plane tickets especially if you can get them well ahead of time.

.........so there's this 4th grade boy who always notices when I wear my boots..........seems to be obsessed with my boots.

Yesterday he informed me that I hadn't worn my boots in 3 days :rolleyes:

He often calls me Goldilocks...I am not blonde....but I think it's mainly because another assistant pulling cafeteria duty with me has the last name of Bear....so she's Mama Bear

..today he called me Curly! :huh:

pretty lame, but that's all I got.........

I'm here. That is, I'm back...

I once was lost but now am found. :blink:

We have been having trouble for a while with our internet connection at home. After multiple calls to 1-800-Call-India, I got to talk to somebody on the same continent that I am on yesterday, and it was determined that perhaps we really did have a problem. A technician was scheduled to come out and look at the circuit from our end.

Good news, part one. The appointment was for between 5 and 9 pm. He called at 6:15 to confirm, and arrived about ten minutes later.

He was on site for about two hours, doing all sorts of different tests. We are a good distance from the telephone company central office, near the limits of DSL technology. The wiring in our neighboUrhood is over thirty years old (as is the wiring in the house). Problems happen.

Good news, part two. Once it was established that the problem was theirs, the tech added some balancing equipment to our end of the circuit, and some changes were made to their end.

I'm back. :) :)

Hi Ptaum- nice to see you!

Hi all sillies! Its warm this morning!!! Last night I made PB fudge-- first time ever making something like that. It actually turned out as well. I was happy!

Gross me oot the door. .. .... :o

So, did you finish him off, Jess? This would be a truly horrid situation for me. Being presented with a dead rat is bad, but I would just need to wrap it up in newspaper (about a million pieces) and throw it into the garbage bag. Now, an alive one.....

I couldn't just do that. I would have to kill it...... :unsure: .... . ...or leave it alone to die on its own. . . .....or keep trying to entice the cat to finish the job. . ... :unsure: . . . ..

Not good. My cats seem to know that I would have great trouble with a gravely wounded creature. Anything they have brought me has always been dead. Totally. Not twitching, even . . . ...

:ph34r: I cowered in the middle of my bed yelling EEWWWW GET HIM!

He was pretty near the end already...

If the critter looks like a fresh toy, I try to liberate it. If it looks like they've been playing together for a while, I just stay out of it. I figure the worst has already transpired for the victim, and it's kinder to let the cat bring about the end, rather than leaving the prey to die slowly out in the cold. (Yes, I have thought through this)

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
