Time To Introduce Myself

Hi everyone!

I'm signing in from Auckland, New Zealand. Have been diagnosed for about 3 years and mostly manage to avoid being glutened... mostly.

I'm a keen cook and on a mission to make my favorite foods gluten free without sacrificing the texture or taste Mostly I think I succeed (my work colleagues would never know the difference and I use them as guinea pigs :lol: ). I'm very, very chatty - feel free to ignore mammoth posts!

I'm looking forward to meeting some people who face the same or similar challenges and who know that life continues, and is awesome, regardless of the flour one's bread is baked with.

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.

      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:

      One of our sponsors here is a nut/seed/dried fruit, etc., company that sells gluten-free versions. Tierra Farm: https://www.tierrafarm.com/discount/gfships

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.
