Looking For Others In Kentucky

Hello, Im new to the whole blog thing and to the whole Celiac World. My little boy tested postive for Celiac and my daughter's test have yet to come back. But I was just looking for others in KY that are new or old to this disease, just wanting to share information on products that are good and things to do and not do. Even if your not in KY any infomation would be great. We have been gluten-free for 1 month now and my little one seems to be 85% better but have had some spurts of direaha so I think I am somehow cross contaminating his food and that is why he gets this boughts sometime. I have looked for commerical products that are gluten-free but they are few and far between. We only have 2 very small naturel food stores in a nearby town, their gluten-free section is very small and very expensive. Any help would be greatly appericated. Also if anyone know's of a good online store to order gluten-free products.

Thanks So Much,

-Corinda

Corinda,

What part of Kentucky are you in? I live in Southern Indiana just across from Henderson.

Hi Kate, I live in southeast KY down near the TN state line.. So we are a good distance apart. Are you new to the whole celiac thing, or a pro at it by now?

I've been gluten free for about four months now, so I'm somewhere in the middle, not a beginner anymore, but not a pro either. I've been doing lots of research and reading on websites like this one and in medical journal databases.

Hi,

I'm in Southern Indiana too. I just moved west of Louisville. I am originally from Louisville. I miss being near the Whole Foods store, although it was expensive. I buy most of my stuff online.

      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.”

      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

      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:
