I found that I could introduce homegrown ones. It might be something used in production that bothered me.

I miss potatoes. My waist and hips do not, but my mouth does. Hopefully after some healing I will eat them again.

i assume i dont have a nightshade problem.

i totally avoid Potatoes- as they give me gas & hurt my joints. i only eat a little peppers (both the potatoes & peppers have a lot of fructose/fructans- gives me painful bloating).

tomatoes work for me in moderation.

its funny- ive been wanting to tell all of you guys- i watched a show on NatGeo the other night about America (before Columbus)- and all the produce & animals that were imported/exported. i believe ALL the nightshades came from the americas... and some of the europeans that brought the potato back from America wrote in their journals- that it was "flatulent" but could be hearty sustenance for peasants organs. i laughed, cause ya- they can be quite flatulent for me

Funny about the reports, sort of. I am confused that you say don't have a nightshade issue, but your joints hurt and you have gas and bloating. I am curious what other problems people have with nightshades if these aren't problems. I get intense shoulder pain with potatoes and tomatoes.Do you think it is a fructose malabsorption problem rather than a nightshade issue? Do you have problems with other fructose sources?

Thanks guys,,

I May wait until the new homegrown crop comes in to try tomatoes and peppers.A week before my colonoscpy PROBABLY is NOT the best time to try reintroducing them :lol:

I am not planing on reintroducing potatoes (I did react VERY strongly to potatoes )but reintroducing peppers and tomatoes would open up my menu options quite a bit

i said i assume i dont have a "nightshade problem", cause im okay with tomatoes.

potatoes make my joints hurt, tomatoes dont.

potatoes & peppers give me painful gas cause i have a fructose malabsorption issue too.

tomatoes will only give me fructose gas pain if i eat a crapload.

and i never eat eggplant, dont like it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. When you take away tomatoes, soy sauce, and citrus, you really limit your saucing abilities. :P

I haven't been able to do nightshades. I don't plan to try them anymore for that matter. I do fine without them so not a big issue to me anyway.

      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.

      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!!

      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.
