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

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
