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 love happy posts! That's great you've solved the mystery!!

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?

Jnkmp8 Newbie

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

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
