From what I have read Aqua Phor is petroleum based. I personally would not use it or recommend it. DH is a mysterious beast and pretty much anything foreign (un-natural) as petroleum I avoid. Let us know how your appointment goes on Tuesday.

What does your rash look like?

Raz - did your doctor take a biopsy? Your descriptions sound so much like mine but I can't even get a doctor to consider DH. They are so sure this isn't my problem.

Wow .. wow .. wow.. this is a much different story than any other people post on here... at least in my time on here.

Please be sure to (if you are willing of course) post the derms name and clinic. There will be others that may be able to access him. I checked with the forum moderators a few months ago and we are allowed to share names of docs etc ((don't do email/phone numbers etc on the public forum)). In general you should probably avoid bagging the bads ones. But the goods ones need to be shared loudly and widely. Please.

Lucky you razzle :) You should put up a new DH post and let people know the doc's name and location. ((I checked with moderators and there is no problem with doing so))

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I would not think store bought yogurt would contain gluten unless it possibly could be through an added flavoring or coloring ingredient. Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.

      FDA looking for input on Celiac Gluten sensitivity labeling PLEASE READ and submit your suggestions

      I believe the GFCO does use a common logo for certified gluten free products (those containing not more that 10ppm of gluten) but nothing universal yet from the FDA for standard gluten free products (those containing not more that 20ppm).

      Gluten free Yogurt suggest

      I have a One Pot and decided to start using it one day. I was hesitant at first making my own yogurt, but was surprised at how easy it was. I like mine better too.

      Because I spend so much time reading every word on all food packaging, I personally would greatly appreciate it if there was one common gluten-free symbol written in large-enough text, and always located in the same place. That alone will make shopping easier and faster. I dread having to buy packaged food. Thank you very much for asking,

Otherwise, it should be naturally gluten free.  Keep in mind that some companies are capitalizing on people's fears and ignorance (nothing personal intended) by labeling foods "gluten free" that are just that way by the nature of what they are. They are hoping to create a marketing edge over their competitors by adding "gluten free" because they know it may catch attention of those new to the celiac/gluten sensitivity experience without having to cost them anything in the way of changing their manufacturing process or doing testing.
