Hi, I just got my womans world and it talked about Yeast allergies and candadia problems, I love wine and i notice a reaction to it, i gave up beer, but I'm

still having bad reactions to alot of things I still have a rash and the heart pounding,

My doctor said my rash was self stress induced!!!!!! loved that one, he wouldn't test my because i don't have insurance and it would cost to much , he wants to put me back on antidepressants, he said diet and what i ate had nothing to do with irritibility and anxiounous, sorry having trouble spelling. so now I'm trying to go gluten-free and yeast free. any suggestions.laurie anne

All my life, they told me the rash was self induced stress. Then at age 67 I was finally diagnosed with Celiac. Just tune them out, you know your body better that the doctor. As far as the wine goes, I developed an allergy to sulfites about 30 years ago and could no longer drink wine. This could be the problem. If you have Celiac, you will develop many-many allergies which can cause the rashes (or the Celiac) and which can cause asthma and other reactions to many different substances, both food and contact substances. Just educate yourself, and weed out what applies to you and your body. Shirley

Laurie anne, I have yeast allergies also, in addition to gluten sensitivity. I also have milk, dairy, and egg white allergies. If I ingest any of the previously listed foods, I have asthma within 15 minutes or so. I agree with Shirley, that you must be on guard about other food allergies, as well as gluten sensitivity. Sulfites, casein, whey--they all are poison for my system. What symptoms do you have when you eat what your body rejects? In time you will become more sensitive to the foods you can and cannot tolerate. Best wishes on your progress. Welda

hi, I wanted to respond to both of your replys, I did notice today when I drank a pepsi my heart started to pound, i still have the rash even though i have really been watching my diet, I haven't had any wine for 3 days and drink just water,

The rash is really starting to get to me. I still have the very bloated stomach too which I thought would start going away by now. I was just at the store and boy I came home so depressed I still have to fix food for my family and it's getting tough to make 2 meals. thanks for listening laurie anne

You didn't say if your pepsi was diet free or regular. A lot of people are sensitive to sugar substitutes.

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. 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:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
