Glad to have you join our elite club, Gina! Well, sort of. :huh: At first this celiac stuff can be overwhelming but eventually it becomes second nature. I was diagnosed in February and it took nearly two months to really get my mind wrapped around it. Already my numbers are negative (they were overwhelmingly positive) and I am on my way to healing! So, hang in there. It truly CAN be done! :)

Hi Gina! Congratulations on your diagnosis. I'm new to the forum too. I'm not yet diagnosed, but am in the process. Regardless of my results, I'll be sticking around because I can't imagine living like this for any longer. I'm a Mum too, I have 4 children :) Looking forward to seeing you around!

Well, if you're celiac it's probably Dermatitis herpetiformis.

There's a whole section on this board about it. In short, the Iga antibodies get in your skin and the sores/rash are an external expression of your gluten intolerance. If you want to test the rash and see if it acts like DH, go on a low-iodine diet in addition to the gluten-free diet. You can find a lot of info about a low-iodine on the thyca website (for people going through thyroid irradiation - diet advice works for everyone).

Thank you, I will look into that....

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
