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.

Iodized salt..what? that makes you break out?

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

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).
