WOW...i know its a few years old...the topic post....but yes this was ALL me...

 

thats why I couldnt figure it at first.....I originally got the big, raised, elongated type OVER AND OVER in the same spot....for months....i showed this to the docs...to no avail....

 

then the clusters....also the description of it eventually looking dried up....its kinda wierd...ones I was trying to save over time....are there, but look funny and old...and not current..

 

then a few months after THAT (where i am now), im not getting the huge ones so much...i am getting little tiny bumply ones...around the neckline and face....still liquid comes out...but these look more pimple like than the other ones...are those the bullous types i guess?  i wish i wish i wish i had known THEN to take pictures...i took them months later..but now what you see are scars...kinda outlines of where they were...i dont think my back will EVER come back....i used to have a beautiful neckline...sadly...i dont think ever again...you see all these vesicle type things....active or not....the outlines are stil there....but back THEN i couldnt get them tested.....but the descriptives from this book are great....i may like to read the whole book.

 

Thank you so much for the info.

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.

      For the vast majority of celiacs it's probably safe, however, it seems that for those who are super sensitive it's best to avoid such products. It's fairly easy now to find brands that are naturally gluten-free, which is what Celiac.com recommends.  You might finds this article interesting:
