Hi everyone

I'm new on here or any forum for that matter.

Hope i'm doing this right?

I'm a mother of a nineteen yr old daughter in Australia, (who doesn't live with me) with celiac.(newly diagnosed)

She is at present a total mess and i'm trying to help her out with diet etc. I have been experimentig with recipes for her to try ( which is no easy feat as she is an extremely fussy eater and eats very little meat) .

So far we've found some good recipes for her fav's such as macaroni cheese and spag bol.

Any way my issue at the moment is bread !!

I think I have found a good bread mix we can try for making our own at home, but I need to know if yeast is wheat and gluten free or not ??

thanks heaps to anyone who can help me . ;)

Make sure the bread mix is gluten-free.

Most yeasts should be gluten-free, but read the label and call/email the company if you have to. It is worth it.

In addition to the advice already given, are you going to make this in your kitchen at home? If yes is that kitchen gluten free? If not you will have to be VERY careful when you make this or any other gluten-free item for her. Do NOT use a bread maker used for wheat based breads. Use a very clean or new baking pan or line one with parchment or tin foil if you don't have one dedicated to gluten-free foods. Don't use a wooden spoon that you use for regular baking. If you use lotion on your hands it is best if you wear gloves when cooking anything for her, just to be on the safe side. Last but not least if you bake bread or cakes for you family at home do wait a couple of days after to bake gluten-free bread as the dust from the flour can take up to 2 days to settle out of the air.

You might also consider a gluten-free 'gift basket' with naturally gluten free foods, veggies, fruits, nut butters, gluten-free crackers, etc.

She is very lucky to have you and the beginning is rough for most of us. Oh one last note, if she has been diagnosed don't forget to get all family members tested, Mom, Dad, siblings. If Mom and/or Dad are also positive then all their first degree relatives need to be tested. Celiac is strongly genetic and it is not unusual for folks to discover that many in the family are also positive, even if they seem asymptomatic.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @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.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      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!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
