Wonderful Friend

I went over to my roommate's parent's house and then to her aunts house for Thanksgiving. I was talking about it yesterday with her after I had been given a gift of cookies at work that I passed on to her. She said that when we were going over to her aunt's house her aunt (who I had never met) had wanted to make me food. She tried to get through to her aunt that it was not a good idea. She gave up and told her dad (his sister) that he would have to get it through to her that I wouldn't be able to eat anything she made. He did a good job. It feels so wonderful to know that my friend and her dad stuck up for me to keep me safe. That they were looking out for my safety. And did it to the extent that I didn't even get asked why I brought my own food. I love my friend. :wub:

I was hoping this thread was truly about a good friend! So often we have to put up with friends and family that just don't 'get it' and some that won't even try.

I too have a wonderful friend! She had a Christmas party last Saturday night and was very concerned that there wouldn't be enough gluten-free treats for me--there was, and she also made a lovely non-alcoholic punch!!

I'm glad we both have wonderful friends!

      considering iViG treament (normal anti ttg iga but high gliadin antibody iga)

      By KimMS · Posted

      I'm sorry I have been inactive here for awhile - a lot going on! I started IVIg in Oct 2024 and because of a blip with insurance, I have only had seven cycles (interrupted with two months off). I tolerated the medication well (Octagam), but didn't see much improvement until the last cycle. My vision and ataxia symptoms were noticeably better afterwards. The plan is to continue monthly for 6-12 months to see if it helps over time. Unfortunately, I have had phlebitis in my veins after the treatment the past two times, so we are trying to figure out how I can continue to receive the infusions. I am also working hard to be more strict with my gluten-free diet. As I mentioned in my original post, my AGA IgA antibodies have not come down (they came down but not all the way and have risen again). I have concluded it is probably from eating out ::sigh:: which is discouraging because I am very careful, but it seems I might not be able to eat out at all unless places are dedicated gluten-free. Follow up question re: vitamins (esp. B vitamins). Should I get specific blood work to check each B vitamin? I have only had B12 checked, and it is actually high. I currently take magnesium citrate, D3, riboflavin B2 supplements (in addition to a multivitamin). Is there a multivitamin and B spectrum vitamin brand you recommend?

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that you have a handle on things now, and a combination of allergies and DH makes sense.

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is interesting that ketoconazole seemed to work for dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms, as it seems to be an anti-fungal medication.  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:

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I looked at the pumpkin seeds on nuts.com and see this warning--so there are many more allergens to worry about!

      Did your rosacea improve when you went gluten-free?
