    DEbNC84- i def feel for you, as i have DH too... i went a long time with continious breakouts and looking sick and feeling sick, but i did more research on dh, and with the help of my sister we found out that milk is a big culprit in adding to dh flares due to the iodine and salt in dairy products. i cut dairy out and it took a few weeks, but i felt better...

    i'm not too sure where i should have posted this.... finally have been hired for my 1st "real world" job (graduated in may). i was curious if anyone knew if there were personal checks for celiac disease, and where i could get them. my sister had breast cancer ones and some percentage of buying the check (maybe even cashing them too??) went to breast...

    Katie618 posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    i think i just need to vent, and maybe get advice on what to to do... I have DH and have in various spots (ankles,knees, feet, hands, elbows, face) and wish i could conceal it better. i'm already self conscious about it (esp when it flares) i grew up with ezcema and got used to ppl asking questions- but it would clear up and no one would notice or know...

    i eat things that say they were packed in a facility that also processes/manufactures/etc wheat, i used to be a nut about it when i was first dx, but i couldn't live like that- seemed that every gluten-free package was processed in the same facility as wheat, still have to live a little! i think it's inevitable to get glutened, i'm still relatively...

    beer made me feel awful too!! before i was diagnosed, i would wake up after a party and think to myself "what the heck happened?!?!?!" my skin was sooo itchy, so inflammed, and red!!! (i have DH), but i have found some pretty good alternatives!! New Grist, Bard's Tale-Dragon Gold, Redbridge. I feel that bard's tale- dragon gold tasted the most like...

    sometimes when i eat sushi, my DH starts to flare... but i always thought it was just the iodine in the seaweed or in the fish, i didnt know the rice can be made with chicken broth, i just thought sushi rice was sticky... if i buy it at the store already made, wouldnt chicken broth/vingar, etc have to be listed in the ingredients?

    celiacdisease.net has some letters and reccomendations

    oats would normally be a "safe" food, it is considered unsafe because of how the oats are harvested and processed. equipment used to harvest wheat is also is used to harvest oats; then are processed on the same line as the wheat- therefore creating cross contamination (CC). some celiacs are not affected by this- i believe most just stay away for the risk...

    i'm also 21, and was diagnosed about 7 months ago. it definately sucks and took a lot of time to get used to. i miss the social aspect of going out with friends to eat, when my roommates at school eat something that can't eat but am craving i have to leave-- or i make a snack that i can have. it was defintaly hard to get used to, but being on sites like...

    DH is definately tough to figure out!! Before i was dx with celiac my family thought i was bitten by bed bugs too.. we search scabies, bed bugs, chronic rashes, chronic hives on the internet. when i was dxed with celiac, i made sure i went to the dermatologist because i thought i had DH after reading about it online- my symptoms were just too close to what...

I dont know if everyone is aware.. but celiacs are protected...
