Hi everyone!

I'm new to this site & still awaiting my diagnosis.for celiacs & DH....for the last few months I been living in hell & being told that there was nothing the doctors could do--so just avoid gluten as ny mouth was swelling worse with every attack! I just had to wallk into a room with someone baking & it would renew my DH.

I had tried everything I could get my hands on through the chemists, alternative therapies & chinese meds.... Nothing worked except bathing in red bush (Roobios) tea & manuka honey....

I then found this site by chance---

THANK YOU ALL for posting your experiences & knowledge on here. I have learnt so much about my conditions that doctors couldn't tell me, ie cut out iodine & gluten in cosmestics!!

For the first time in months my symptoms are reduced to

a bareable level.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN LIFE & SANITY SAVERS!

Xx

Glad to hear you're doing so much better. Do fill your doctors in on what you have learned as many of them are clueless when it comes to DH.

Hi, thankyou. Oh I am!! They didn't realise by eating a gluten-free duet my tests would come back negative! So as fast as I learn I am passing it on just so others can benefit fromwhat I've learnt from you guys & by trial & error.. I never thought I'd be bathing in tea & spreading honey on the blisters/infected cuts& sores!! 

I hope my experiments through desperation will help others as you have all done for me on here. As so little is known about these conditions inthe UK/London. X

I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better! Yay! And I'm also glad that you're educating your doctors--that may make a huge difference in other people's lives.

I am so Happy! for you!

I would not be well from my DH if it weren't for all the posts on here.

So I second and third your thank you to all posters with DH!!

Hey! I never even thought about iodine in makeup! Is it there too? What did you look for? OMG!! Mine is on my face and I wear makeup every day. What brand of makeup are you using? If any?

Hi-- I'm not sure if iodine is in make up but gluten def is. Its worth contacting the relevant companies to ask. I use shisedo & bobbie brown but I'm waiting to hear back from them. If I don't then I believe (do double check) that the Lancome range is totally free from gluten! so I will be changing as like you I have it on my face!

Im also waiting to hear from dermalogica re:my skin care!

Thank you all again for the support too as it's taken me a while to get my head round it all & this site has been a huge help.

Love to you

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      Chances of being coeliac

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
