    OP here, I have the MTHFR gene, I'm homozygous which means I have 10-20% efficiency in processing folic acid which means I have high homocysteine, low B12 and folate levels. I found out when I plugged in my raw dna data from ancestrydna into the promethease website in May. Every other day I have been taking Methylated b12, methylated folic acid, methylated...

    I googled "cured foundation" it was shown in the Montel show description, here is the website: Open Original Shared Link In the "about us" section of the website it has the story of Joni's medical condition. Trish in Canada

    O.K. the Dominion grocery store by my house in Mississauga (ON, Canada) is carrying gluten-free items!!! This makes everything sooooo much easier. They started renovating the store during summer. Last week I went into the store and there was a bunch of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free flours in the baking section. I was jumping up and down in the aisle, lol...

    I emailed Strongbow Cider to verify if their beverage is Gluten-Free and it is!!! Here is the email I received:

    I would not be getting a skin prick test. That would be for allergies. It would not help in diagnosing gluten intolerance or DH. If I got a test it would be getting a skin biopsy to test for granular IgA deposits using immunoflouresence for dermatitus herpetiformis. If I test positive it would automatically mean that I would be a celiac. I would not...

    Thank you for replying. I might consider trying the walk-in doctor route for a refferal. I don't think I can travel as far as niagara (I don't drive). I am looking for someone to do a skin test first. If it came back negative I think I would have to do the gluten challenge (ick) before I saw a GI. I think since I have mainly DH symptoms and not always...

    Taken from Celiac Disease a Hidden Epidemic, by Peter H.R. Green M.D. Page 282 It is gluten-free unless listed otherwise. So maltodextrin is safe to eat as long as you are not allergic to corn, potato, or rice.

    O.K. I just finished reading Celiac Disease A Hidden Epidemic, By: Peter H.R. Green M.D. I am a self-diagnosed with Dermatitus Herpetiformis. I had a rash for 7 months that did not go away until I stopped eating gluten. I do get celiac disease symptoms when I eat gluten as well. My doctor agreed that it was a good idea to stay off of gluten, but he is...

    At my cousin's wedding... last month. I ate one bite of a potato covered in beef gravy. I asked the caterer what was on the potatoes before I ate she said beef drippings, noooooo.... I realized it was covered in gravy after I took the bite (I could taste it). Awhile later I got horrible gas + bloating that got progressively worse as the evening...

    YAY!!! Thank-you!!! Some good news: I had milk in my tea today with no reaction. I also had some butter on my baked potato. Small steps.... Can't wait to order those gluten-free snacks. I definately have to be more careful with the CC thing, especially now that I know just a teeny-tiny bit of Gluten can set off DH for me. -Trish

    jayhawkmom: floridanative: O.K. so cheetos could have gluten in them. I think I did react to gluten. Not to milk. The coughing and congestion I had on Saturday, from eating the rice and milk, turned out to be the start of a cough/cold. I think the stomach ache I had was because i ate too quickly. I still have a slight rash from eating...

    Thanks AndreaB and Guhlia. I fugured it out, I think... Right after I posted I ate some rice and drank some lactose free milk. It's the first thing I've eaten all day. Now I know it's definately the dairy that's causing the problems. I have a stomach ache and I'm coughing and congested. I'll probably get hives soon. NO MORE DAIRY FOR ME!!! I was...

    O.K. so I ate a bowlful of cheetos yesterday and got a fairly minor skin reaction within 1-2hours later. Previously I had a full body DH rash for about 7 months. The rash went away when I went gluten-free. Every once and awhile I accidently eat something that triggers a skin reaction. This time it was cheetos. I thought the ingredients were safe. I'm...

    Viola: Vitamin K, o.k. I didn't think of that. I'll have to figure out what foods have it. I think kale has vitamin K. I know kale has iron. hmmm... my bruises are not large. I don't have any unusual bleeding from my nose or gums. If my gums were bleeding I would notice because of my braces, I brush my teeth, like 20 times a day...

    Hi! When I was researching about my skin problems I came accross the Dermatitis Herpeteformis Online Community. It's a U.K. site. They have alot of info on DH including pictures of rashes. The location of rashes for people with DH can differ. I had the rash on my inner arms, armpit, trunk, sides, lower back, buttock, inner thigh, hands, and the back of...

    Hi I'm new here. I am 25 years old. My story: From November 05' to the end of May 06' I had a rash that would not go away. I thought it was excema. Went to the doctor 4 or 5 times. I got prescribed steriod creams, antifungal creams, and oral antibiotics, nothing worked. The rash got worse as time went on. Tryed various soaps, thinking it was a...
