Hi all, I live in South Australia in metropolitan Adelaide. Can anyone suggest some Gluten free restaurants that are kid friendly? I have a 17 month old daughter that is gluten sensitive probably celiac. I also have a problem with gluten which is only a recent discovery. Thanks

I would suggest you contact the Coeliac Society of South Australia as they should be able to provide you with a list of gluten-free restaurants and any other advice you require.

Do you realise that a blood test for celiac disease will not be accurate if you have not been consuming enough gluten. For the blood test to be accurate you need to be eating the equivalent of 2-4 slices of bread a day for 4-6 weeks. It doesn't have to be bread but a high gluten food such as bread.

Thanks for that! does weetbix count I have started eating that for breakfast just to make sure! Do you need a dx to get info from them?

I joined the SA Society with a dx of Gluten Intolerance and a letter from my GP. They accept membership from dx Coeliacs, DH, and GI people. Once a member they have a shop where you get discounted food and grocery lines.

I have found Najjars , Nth Adelaide, and Parade Thai, Norwood to be gluten-free safe. DJ Foodhall have pie parcels and they can heat them for you. Have you seen this link ? Open Original Shared Link

And of course Kylies ! Open Original Shared Link Lots to choose there !

I was dx with Gluten Intolerance - no biopsy and a negative blood test but I had been eating Gluten light for years. I have just had a positive genetic test ( Gribbles ) and that show I have the gene which now tends to suggest I have Coeliac.

      Help!  My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac.  Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls.  I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase.  Have they been discontinued??  Does anyone have another recommendation for a gluten-free/DF tootsie roll option?

      I wonder how long it usually takes and if it is dose dependent as well... or if some ppl have a more pronounced reaction to gluten than others   thanks again for all the great info

      Wow KK, thank you so much for all your attached info. I had a very quick scan but will read more in depth later.  The one concerning corticosteroid use is very interesting. That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.

      Welcome to the forum, @suek54, I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  I found taking Niacin B3 very helpful in clearing my skin from blisters as well as improving the itchies-without-rash (peripheral neuropathy).  Niacin has been used since the 1950's to improve dermatitis herpetiformis.   I try to balance my iodine intake (which will cause flairs) with Selenium which improves thyroid function.   Interesting Reading: Dermatitis herpetiformis effectively treated with heparin, tetracycline and nicotinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10844495/   Experience with selenium used to recover adrenocortical function in patients taking glucocorticosteroids long https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24437222/   Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/   Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Nicotinic acid therapy of dermatitis herpetiformis (1950) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15412276/

      Thank you all for your advice and the dermatitis herpetiformis article. The latter made me realise I had stopped taking my antihistamine, which I will restart today. The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.
