Look at anything you might have changed in the last week. Did you get a script filled? If it was generic the binders may have changed. Have you eaten out? You may have been CC'd. Are you eating stuff that is produced on shared lines? You might have gotten a 'bad' batch. Are you in a relationship with a gluten eater? Could they have just finished a gluten sandwich or drink and then shared a kiss with you. Do you have pets? Is their food gluten free? You could have been glutened by the food or litter you are using. Do you do arts and crafts or home repair or remodeling? Many of the products are not safe. Do you use iodized salt? That can cause a DH outbreak until the antibodies leave the skin. Sometimes it can be hard to figure out what got us, sometimes we are never able to figure it out if it was only a one time sort of thing.

Iodine will activate the antibodies. We need to avoid iodine, at least at first, to enable the antibodies to leave the skin. It only needs to be avoided by those with DH.

I reintroduced goat yogurt into my diet after a year dairy free (+wheat and soy). My DH has been very quiet - I had a blister pop up within a day. Ravenwood's ideas are really solid. I was told my by brilliant nutritionist to eat alot of veggie of many varieties if my DH get bad - helps to coat the intestines plus alll those antioxidants. Go to Whole Foods and go to the salad bar and get 12 different varieties of veggies. Just my experience. It takes a long time to heal the pathways to the DH. Susan

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.
