What Would The Specific Carbohydrate Diet, And Eliminating Dairy Really Do?

i mean you need that stuff mostly! including milk. i drink it and i don't get that tired, almost morphine feeling like i get with anything with wheat. and i don't get addicted. no stomach aches, no brain fog (mostly because im in a perpetual state of brain fog) no diahrea. (lol can't spell it right) and that carbohydrate thing makes sense but kinda of gets in the way of A) my gluten free diet and B) me being a hungry 19 year old.

im just, you know pointing out what i think is too many options.

If you feel fine with what your eating, don't worry about trying some other diet. Take the time to adapt to the gluten-free diet. If you've done that for a while, and don't feel well, then you can consider eliminating other foods.

It's a funny question to ask us, if you really are sure you have no issues with anything other than gluten...

what did you mean by being in a perpetual state of brain fog? do you mean even when you are not eating gluten? If you are, it might be that the diet needs to have a little more time to heal you, or that there might be other things making you feel that way. My advice is to continue with the gluten free diet a little longer and see how you feel. If you have already been on it for a while and suspect that something else is going on, then I would recommend looking into the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. I don't know how much you have actually read so far, but if milk is causing you digestive and absorption problems, then you'll find that it's doing you more harm than good to continue consuming it. I know it's difficult when you are among friends who can eat whatever they like, but if you consider the consequences that you'll face afterward ... it doesn't always seem worth it to be one of the crowd.

I agree. If you feel fine with milk and gluten seems your only problem. Stick with it!

      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.
