Since i ate my alfredo stuffs on thursday, i have felt like crud. My stomach throws a fit at anything remotely resembleing food (including milk, cheese, rice O.o, cabbage, etc, basically anything i eat) and my "C" is back with full force. As of right now, its churning something bad.

I ate some prunes earlier thinking that might help and well yeah, this is the churning result.

i'm hoping to make something simple for dinner (plain beef with carrots and maybe acorn squash (if not that apples)).

How long does it take to get over something like this?

How long does it take to get over something like this?

I am not sure, but I got glutened last weekend at the event with a gluten-free version of dinner, and I still feel bad. My stomach is upset with almost anything I eat. Today, so far I ate just an apple, and my stomach is reacting in a very bad way- all bloated up. I am considering a few day fast...

I had to get off all supplaments including probiotics and enzymes. Took two weeks total to get "normal" and a week to regain a normal appetite and stop freaking every time I felt any activity in my gi tract.

I lived on crackers, potatoes, rice, mild and small quantities of meat and veggies. All cooked. Eggs (one of my go-to's) are finally palatable. Peanut butter is almost tasty now. Apples were a good bet. Soups were good, if mild.

Bad bad bad bug. I had 4 days of explosive d one week after the virus was " gone" - from taking supplaments I had taken for more than a year.

Ick. This has been killing me. On top of the major "C", my stomach has yet to decide whether or not it wants me to throw up or not. It just remains sour all the time.

I asked my mom if she has had any ideas and i quote "You should eat more prunes (i ate three yesterday), the only reason you feel like this is because of the "C"" O.o Umm, no. I do not useually have upset stomach when i have "C" thank you very much.

What i've eaten so far today:

Some cooked apples

a cup of dry rice chex

In a bit i'm going to eat some of my stew from last night (beef and carrots cooked really really well).

-sigh-

This is no fun. Oh and i took cranberry pills last night too. -_-;;

But i'm not as crampy as i was yesterday, I wish i could go back to bed but i have a 5 page paper and an english assignment do tommorow. I also have to get started on another project thats due on friday.

All i wanna do is sleep.

Friday i was accidentally cross contaminted. I have been sick ever since. Yesterday was the first day i was back on real food. Over the weekend, i "enjoyed" soup, water, and gatorade. The shortest amount of time i have been sick was 24 hrs and the longest was a week. So good luck! I feel your pain :( literally!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. 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:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
