Me And My Son

Hi all I'm new here. I could write a long story how I ended up here,but not all for now. My son who is now 14 has been sick most of his life. We did do the allergist and tested positive for soy, dairy, and pea family. so we took that out of his diet but still got sick,,very sick. He missed so much school and last march he had lost over 10lbs in one month, and said: why should I eat anything it will just go threw me" as a mom I was scared to death and not knowing what to do. Our doctor(whom I dont take him to anymore} said he had a virius ha not so,,as we left I told him I will not take you there anymore. So I went back to my small health food store and told him I needed help again, that his immune system was so bad, ok fast forward now! he told me he sounded like he was gluten intolerant and not to have him tested because the test werent very good, and the best test is to just take him off gluten and see if he felt better, and that one of us mom or dad has it..ok it was me..and the very next day, found out that my cousins on my mom side our celiac. Ok he and I are doing better except he has a auto immune issue trying to get him better, just the last l9 monts he has had sinus infection, strep, and just got over pnemonia,but he has missed only a couple of days of school,,I have taken him to a new family doctor, and he told me he problably had celica, and that I figured it out, and blood test ect. are not good test,Enough for now,,that is were we stand,,

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

      Hi Im new to this game, so bear with me.  May through to December last year totally miserable, covered literally head to toe in the worst rash ever, itching like I just cant explain. After seven different medics told me just to "keep putting the cream on, whatever it is will go in the end" finally one lovely doc diagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis. Biopsy 6 weeks ago and Dapsone, which I seem to be tolerating OK so far.  The NHS is in permanent backlog so no result yet but just wanted to say hello to anyone else with this maddening condition.

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.

      I sure appreciate the information. I knew there had to be gluten consumption for the blood test, but I did not realize that also applied to biopsies. Thank you so much for that nugget of knowledge. I look forward to learning more as I dive into this website and the collective knowledge, experience, and wisdom from those who have gone before and/or those who are just beginning the journey like me.

      Thank you for sharing this — it’s really important. The FDA is actively seeking public input on improving gluten and ingredient labeling, which could directly impact how people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity shop and stay safe. Clearer labeling would help reduce accidental gluten exposure and make it easier to identify hidden sources of gluten in foods. I encourage everyone here who is affected by celiac or gluten sensitivity to read the announcement and submit their own suggestions — real lived experience matters and can influence policy changes that benefit the whole community.
