I wasn't sure where to post this topic but just feel very proud of my 17 year old daughter. My birthday was yesterday and we are celebrating tomorrow with a cook out. She was concerned about a birthday cake and I told her I didn't need one. She decided on her own that I definately needed one and made me a pamela's chocolate cake for tomorrow. :) The kitchen smells yummy and no matter what it will be the best cake I've tasted!

I know the feeling and it can't be beat. BTW, Pamela's chocolate cake is wonderful. :)

I don't know if I would be able to wait on that cake. I would be sitting at the table at midnight with fork in hand. :D

You are very lucky to have such a sweet kid, give her an extra big chocolatey hug tommorrow.

Happy belated too and enjoy the cookout.

Happy Birthday. You daughter is very thoughtful.

I just had my 50th birthday and had to make my own birthday cake. Hubby just didn't feel like he could and my 12 year old triplets are only just starting to cook the odd thing. The 20 year was away but if she had been around my guess is she would have made the cake.

It's funny how small kindnesses like a birthday cake can mean so much to us.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Hey @suek54, I also have Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I used to be on Dapsone but have managed to wean myself off it after many attempts. It's quiet a toxic drug, as it affects the bone marrow and red blood cells. It also artificially reduces Hemoglobin A1C. Mine was at 21 at one stage, I think normal is around 37. With dermatitis herpetiformis, you need...

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Hi all Biopsy confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis. Strict gluten free diet going OK, I cook nearly everything from scratch anyway and am finding gluten free adaptations for most recipes. I seem to be tolerating 50mg Dapsone well, regular blood tests OK so far. Next derma appt in 8 weeks. I have some continuing itching and rash outbreaks, though...

      @KeriRae, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or with dermatitis herpetiformis?

      I've had this same rash on my back on and off for the last year or two. I was taking LDN to help with other issues but quit awhile back. I'm wondering if LDN would help with this rash.

      Simple Mills and Made Good Foods Products May Contain Gluten Levels Above the FDA's Allowable Limit of 20 ppm

      It should be noted that Gluten Free Watchdog has voiced concerns about the methodology used by MomsAcrossAmerica's lab for their gluten testing. I don't have access behind their paywall, but here are 2 relevant public posts from them on this topic. (tldr: GFWD seems to believe that MAM's lab could have gotten false positives and they explain why they believe...

      Hey @suek54, I also have Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I used to be on Dapsone but have managed to wean myself off it after many attempts. It's quiet a toxic drug, as it affects the bone marrow and red blood cells. It also artificially reduces Hemoglobin A1C. Mine was at 21 at one stage, I think normal is around 37. With dermatitis herpetiformis, you need to be really strict. It wasn't until I focused on getting the trace minerals the body needs that I managed to get off it. I believe getting the thyroid numbers in the optimal range also helped with Iodine and Selenium. Iodine doesn't bother me for some reason, but flares others as knitty kitty said. I take Viridian Trace Mineral complex and it's made a huge difference, among other vitamins and minerals. Now I can tolerate gluten free oats which I could never eat before. Though I only have them very occasionally in the form of gluten free soda bread . One thing I miss is my Mums Irish soda bread. Hope this helps.

      Hi all Biopsy confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis. Strict gluten free diet going OK, I cook nearly everything from scratch anyway and am finding gluten free  adaptations for most recipes.  I seem to be tolerating 50mg Dapsone well, regular blood tests OK so far.  Next derma appt in 8 weeks. I have some continuing itching and rash outbreaks, though nowhere near as severe as they were, so I am hoping for an increased dose, as the effect only seems to last 6-7 hours.  I think I may be burning through it more quickly than some due to other medication. Also I cannot mount a response to inflammation due to Addison's Disease.  I hope others are finding their way though the minefield that is dermatitis herpetiformis. Hang on in there! Sue (in UK)
