hi!

i have my DH when i was pregnant on my first baby. been in gluten-free diet for over 2 years, but became not so strict with the diet for the last quarter of 2008, so after having uncontrollable blisters again, i decided to go and see my derma and ask if i can have prednisone again, because im seek and tired of just putting topical steroids.

so before i go and see my derma, i have my preg test, and the result is im pregnant...my OB told me to stop any topical steroids, and so i did... the only problem is that im beginning to panic, my DH is getting worse... please help...

My suggestion would be to go back on the gluten-free diet, especially if you are pregnant. That would probably help with you symptoms.

The previous poster is correct; you'll have to go completely gluten free. You can't take steroids or dapsone while pregnant. Be patient; we DHers take a long time to heal after you have an outbreak. How long were you not gluten-free? It can take months for all the gluten to get out of your system and to reduce your outbreaks. My suggestion is to get a big bottle of sarna lotion for sensitive skin (the one with the pramoxine), it will help with the itching. Good luck and congrats!

      An observation about psyllium husk

      Psyllium can't sit for more than a minute in the water or it is like drinking sludge. Swallowed fairly soon means it's more like an flavorless undermixed protein smoothie. Chlorophyll ( or two tbsp) really helps the taste, makes it minty. Taking Psyllium and Chlorophyll separately rather than together at first helps determine if there's intolerance to either...

      Gluten attack severe insomnia and anxiety?

      BuddhaBar, I came across this thread while searching online for celiac insomnia (having also scared myself stupid by finding out about fatal insomnia) and it did bring me some piece of mind as it so closely matches my own experience. I know this thread is old now, I hope you're doing well, and thanks for posting your experience.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      That's great news, @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour. And you might find that if you do have asthma, keeping your reflux under control may help, if my experience is anything to go by.

Chlorophyll ( or two tbsp) really helps the taste, makes it minty. Taking Psyllium and Chlorophyll separately rather than together at first helps determine if there's intolerance to either. Also starting the Psyllium in small doses, starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon to tolerate the fiber change.

      Quick update I ended going to a clinic they heard me wheezing and gave me a steroid shot I’m feeling much better now and I’m planing on getting reevaluated for asthma as the clinic doctor is thinking it might be that based on how I reacted to the steroid. But he couldn’t diagnose.  thanks again to everyone that applied (still seeing the gastrointestinal doctor too!)
