(I posted this in the doctor section but am putting it here too.) My husband who has DH (diagnosed a few months ago) went to his regular doctor for first visit following diagnosis by a dermatologist. The general practitioner gave him a dapsone refill but told him if he went off it before his six-month appointment and the rash didn't come back, he could...

ARCHIVED Whats On Your Grocery List?
BFreeman replied to amber-rose's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Pound boneless chicken breasts into cutlets; either grill or cook in a saucepan (turn heat up high toward end so liquid cooks off and browns them) and make a sauce. This sauce was in Cooking Light and would also be good over baked potatoes or to scoop up with corn chips: Melt 1 tsp. butter in saucepan; add 1 cup diced red onion and 2 cups Super Sweet canned... -
ARCHIVED Are There Health Benefits From Going Gluten Free?
BFreeman replied to celiac-in-WV's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I don't know about the 'healthier" part, but it will sure make things easier on you. I'm not celiac but husband has DH; I wouldn't have done it if our children were still at home, but I made a clean sweep of the kitchen, gave away bags and bags of things, and have all my alternative flours lined up in jars on the counter and my downloaded recipes organized... -

Thank you for this. It is my husband, not me, who has DH diagnosed a few months ago, and I have not been able to understand why he... -
Does anyone there have a significant other who doesn't want anyone to know about his or her celiac disease? Do you encourage talking about it or support the desire to keep it quiet? (I'm not sure what's going to happen at work when the Thanksgiving and Christmas parties start up . . .) B

After you get weaned off Dapsone, how long does it take for the rash to return if you have slipped up? My husband was diagnosed a few months ago and has been on gradually-reduced levels of Dapsone since then. It has had side effects of headaches and fatigue, and so, based on a comment his doctor made at his last visit of "I have several patients who go...

My husband was diagnosed with DH a few months ago and I took it upon myself to read everything I could find and educate myself on how to feed him because I thought the handouts he got from the doctor's office were WOEFULLY out of date and very unhelpful. I have now completed a clean sweep of the kitchen and I eat (at home) what he eats and haven't felt deprived...
