Good morning and thanks! Midel and Kinnickknick- yeah! Do you have to order the Kinnick stuff only by mail? I went to their website and shipping was horrible! :o I haven't found it in any stores that I've been to. Just wondering.

Nope...I have Kinnikinick bread in my health food stores. You may need to order by mail for donuts and the like, or ask your local health food store if they could carry some Kinnikinick products for you. One health food store near me orders larger quantities of certain products, knowing that I'll buy a lot :lol:

It seems all the detectives here hit it on the head..I reconfirm with the above posts that Mi-Del makes the oreo and that Kinnickinick makes the doughnuts..

There is another issue raised here concerning overeating and I like tarnalbarry's suggestion..

Another one is this concerning mixing any fiber powder and water..

If you read the instructions they tell you to mix the fiber with 8 ounces of water.

Then they proceed to tell you that you need to throw down an additional 8 glasses of water over the course of the day to make the fiber work....

That is just dead wrong and the instructions are dropping a subtle hint what to do instead..

Remember that fiber expands in water BUT fiber congeals with saliva and gastric juices..If the fiber goes down while any food is in the stomach with just 8 ounces of water, congealing will dominate..

This was actually proven in the automotive industry. ARCO graphite was supposed to be the ultimate lubricant for autos since graphite exists in the pump os every kitchen fridge..The problem with that is that your freezer's compressor turns on and off with shorter rest periods than an auto. Autos are more like a stomach, changing temperature of things coming in which are changing them in return and resting for longer intervals of time. This caused the graphite filings to congeal and plug up ports in cars, ruining engines..The same thing happens to the human gut.

Once congealed, the fiber will not be able to be mixed in your blender or with any spoon since it is in the gut. The inner part of the clumps formed become more sealed into position by additional water and the fibers on the inside of the clumps cannot get any water to expand since they are now suffocated.

To solve the problem you mix the powder with about 1 to 2 quarts of water and take in a little throughout the day, restirring or reblending each time that you do.

Appetite should drop and the fiber should expand properly.

There is a gluten-free intestinal rejuvination powder called RevitalX..

I get the Kinnikinick stuff at my local co-op health food store too... they are also more than willing to special order large quantities if I want them to.

I have had Glutinos and Mi-dels "oreo" type cookies. Both are really good!!

I went through the stage of "eating everything I could" because I COULD!! It is hard to get past that point and back to just eating normal again. SO hard when you are "deprived" not to just pig out on what you can eat and what is SO good!!!

Hang in there... it will happen eventually!! I have learned to not keep goodies in the house ~ because I eat them! ;)

P.S. What is the brand of those yummy doughnuts?? :D

I totally agree with you. Since starting this, i have eaten nothing but bad things. No matter how hard I try not to, I can always find a way to justify the potato chips or the candy bar. My family can go ahead and eat a roll, i will just have extra ice cream, stuff like that.

I tried some great gluten-free cookies and was almost unhappy that they were gluten-free.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
