Hello everyone, I am New to the gluten free scene. I self diagnosed my gluten sensitivity and I feel free. I feel as though I have been reborn to some degree. I had been having problems for the past 4 years and never ever thought of celiacs disease. One day a friend of mine had been listening to me complain (being a true friend) and all of a sudden she says are you sure that you aren't gluten sensitive? I said I don't know, never really thought of it, so I gave up all gluten and I cannot tell everyone enough how well I feel! I also have Vitiligo which is also an autoimmune disease and after doing my research figured what my condition was. I also am suffering with a hyperthyroid which gives me a lump in my throat and I feel as though I am speeding(this is also part of the autoimmune community) That is starting to feel better also, I am so very happy to be feeling better. I know it will take a little bit to get my immune system back on track but since I have found this site I am extremely happy, I can eat again!!! Yall have a wonderful day and happy days are coming!!!! Lol

Just an FYI

You are replying to an over 4 year old thread on the topic of Frosty's.

Hello and Welcome! Please feel free to take a walk around this place. There is a lot of great information as you travel down your gluten free road.

Karen mentioned that this is an older thread...yes, and the facts may not be accurate today. But I do think that Wendy's Frosties are still gluten free, as last I checked.

Thanks for the information from all of you but I don't see myself asking questions, commenting or starting a New topic too much. It seems as though I have not been a good girl and I don't do these things right so I may just find my info elsewhere. Thanks buches!

You are new, and are having a bit of trouble finding your way around a complicated board. That is not unusual. Some members here have tried to help you with that. You DO need to learn how to start a topic when your comment or question is not relevant to the original topic in a thread. The moderators have split threads several times so that your question gets the prominence that it deserves.

Most people would not read your post above that I made into a new topic, since it was in an old topic about Wendy's. Maybe with a new title, and in the "coping" section instead of restaurants, you will get some attention.

Please stay with us.

Hi Ann,

Please do stay around. We are actually a pretty nice bunch! :)

if you have a lump on your throat, and are having hyperthyroid symptoms, please consider testing for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Hashimoto's is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the thyroid. The docs can test you for TPO antibodies to see if you have Hashimoto's. We have several people with Hashimoto's here on the forum. Women tend to get it more often than men, according to the doctors anyway. I have a thyroid cyst myself and take natural thyroid supplements.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. 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:
