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

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      I seem to recall that my digestive issues actually started when I was taking NSAIDs c. February 2013 for some unrelated condition.  My stomach got so sore during that time I went to see my GP and she thought it might be an ulcer or gastritis so prescribed me Omeprazole.  That appeared to trigger diarrhea which, once I came off the Omeprazole, did not stop.  I went back to the doctors after a few weeks, and that finally led to my coeliac diagnosis, after months of unexplained neurological symptoms, low ferritin and anxiety,which did not seem to have a cause but of course we later realised was all down to coeliac disease. I occasionally take a very small aspirin for a sick migraine which sometimes only responds to aspirin, but it usually leaves me with sore stomach a few days later. I've been told co-codamol is another medication I could take with a sensitive stomach. I was once prescribed it, to use for just a few days. It is not an NSAID, but it contains codeine, which I understand can be addictive so should be used with care.  It can also cause constipation.

      I also take Paracetamol. I haven't taken an NSAID in years since being diagnosed with UC. The can cause UC flares.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jessysgems! How does this affect you? What do you do to address it. Do you have to get up and consume something sweet?
