Actually I accidentally came upon this sight while looking up websites on Johnny Rivers. When I clicked on google search for him, just a few sites down was this the mention of gluten free web site and his name within that post. I found that rather unusual so I clicked on it. I clicked on it, to see where someone named, Dingogirl made a post about him.

Johnny Rivers is a WONDERFUL singer, and I have seen him and had the pleasure of meeting him! He has the bluest eyes, and he sounds even better now than ever. What a handsome man! The few times that I have spoken to him, he has been so generous, soft spoken and his concerts (the couple that I have attended are never a let down.) It would be great to talk to any fans that he might have here! I have enjoyed his 60's music since for a long time. So anyway, I was looking at this site, and became intrigued by this forum on gluten free diet. I plan on reading a lot to see what this diet is all about and see if it could help me. I have had some digestive problems, as well as thyroid problems, and wonder if this could help me. First I need to get educated. So maybe I have come to a place where not only can I find out if this site could help me physically, but might meet a few people who enjoy Johnny Rivers music! Ok, I'm back to seeing if I can find any websites about Johnny Rivers to read about, that is how I got here as I said. Looking forward to hearing from anyone here. Looking forward to reading more on this Gluten Free Diet!! :)

Welcome, with hopes you can learn a little from us, but I expect more from DingoGirl :P

Oh, my, the world wide web. I, too, once googled a medical inquiry and found my OWN post.

DingoGirl, there is someone at the door for you. :P

Excuse the double post. When I tried to reply it said I couldn't reply, so I tried again, and oops.....then there were two. It might take me awhile to get used to posting, so meanwhile bear with me, please. From what I have read so far, it seems that there are a lot of very caring and understanding people here, and you have a lot of fun thrown into it all!

Hi Jackie & welcome to our celiac world.

Yes, you probably will learn more here than you probably want to know.Celiac disease is a complex mix of symptoms, everyone feeling just a tad different.....

I would suggest that some testing be done because if this is your problem you would want to get a handle on it asap.

And I agree Johnny Rivers is great........

hope you enjoy this site full of educational & some uneducational info.......

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      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

      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:
