ARCHIVED Relief For The Pain?
Lola B posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My teenage daughter was accidentally glutened over the weekend (barbeque sauce) and is suffereing the effects today. Can anyone recommend something to relieve the stomach pain and cramping? Pepto Bismal, Ginger Ale...anything? The pharmacist recommended pepto or kaopectate, but it doesn't really seem to help. Thanks! -
Hello - wondering if anyone out there has used, or has any information, on the new Dapsone topical ointment. My dermatologist told me that it's relatively new and has been approved as a treatment for acne, but I'm wondering if it has any affect on the DH lesions - even if it's just to take away some of the itching and spreading. Thanks!

Very interesting about the gelcaps. My daughter had been taking Aleve gelcaps for the migraines and new DH breakouts kept erupting. They seem to be clearing up now that she's off of the Aleve. We'll switch to Tylenol for the migraines - although it doesn't seem to help as much with the headache pain, but it's better than having both the headache and the intense...

Thanks for the info! One more ingredient to be on the look out for.

Can anyone shed some light on the connection between NSAIDs and DH? My teenage daughter has DH and she also suffers from chronic migraine headaches. She had been taking Aleve, and her DH is flaring back up again. The dapsone doesn't seem to be helping control these new flareups. Thanks!

Jersey Girl, My family has switched insurance carriers a couple of times since my daughter was diagnosed with DH and so far, we haven't run into any problems. Insurance, however, has come from either my husband's work or mine, and no one has asked for any pre-condition proof, it that's what you're concerned about. Are you looking for independent health...

ARCHIVED Smoothies At Caribou Coffee
Lola B replied to Lola B's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for your response. I appreciate you sending that along! -
Interesting about the wine - I never would have thought about the barrel. Is there a list of vineyards that use the flour paste? As far as vodka goes - Chopin is distilled from potatoes. It's a bit pricey for mixing with tonic or juices, but it makes a tasty martini.
-
Try cocoa butter too. It seems to help with the scarring. My daughter has DH and carmex and neosporin sometimes help - carmex when the rash first appears; neosporin if you scratch so hard that you break the skin - it seems to help keep any additional bacteria out of the open wound.

ARCHIVED Kinninick Frozen Pizza Crusts-
Lola B replied to lcbannon's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I use a pizza stone and the crusts turn out great - not soggy at all. I usually set the temperature around 375 and cook the pizza for around 20 -25 minutes (my oven is temperamental) - don't forget to preheat. They're as good, or better, than a regular frozen pizza. We tried Amy's frozen pizzas, and they're good, but I always ended up adding additional toppings... -
Wouldn't it be really cool if the Food Network would launch a new show on gluten free cooking? I see the advert online here on the forum for the 'Lovin from the Oven - gluten free cooking show' - is that only visible via the web?

The recent issue of Living Without magazine contains an article about gluten free dining at Disneyland and Disney World.

ARCHIVED Smoothies At Caribou Coffee
Lola B posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Does anyone know the ingredients in the Passion Fruit Green Tea smoothy from Caribou Coffee? I've looked on their website for nutritional information and it just lists the common stuff - calories, sugar, sodium, etc. The actual ingredients are not found. My daughter loves these and I want to make sure that they're safe for her to drink. The people actually... -

It's a good book - lots of tips. Another one that I would recommend is the Gluten Free Bible. -
ARCHIVED How Long Does It Take To Bake Good Bread?
Lola B replied to a topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I, too, am having issues with finding a decent bread. I've tried the Gluten Free Pantry sandwich bread, and it's good, but tends to crumble quite a bit. The 50/50 water/club soda suggestion sounds intriguing though. Will the club soda make the bread less crumbly? What type of kitchen aid mixer - counter top or hand? I'm assuming you mean counter top, but... -
ARCHIVED Ranch Dressings
Lola B replied to candi1008's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Oh my goodness - if what you're saying about Hidden Valley is accurate, then my mystery might be solved. I've been glutening my own child by giving her carrots and Hidden Valley dressing to dip them in. I read all of the ingredients on the label and assumed (incorrectly) that it was safe. No wonder her DH has been flaring up so much lately. I feel like the... -
ARCHIVED Just When I Thought I'd Figured It All Out
Lola B replied to hathor's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello All - I'm relatively new to this whole gluten free life style, so I'm hoping that someone can help me out with some advice. I'm wondering about soy - specifically soybean oil found in peanut butter. Is this safe to consume? My daughter has DH and lately it's been flaring up alot and I'm wondering if I'm inadvertantly glutening her by giving her peanut... -
ARCHIVED Newly Diagnosed - Sad And Scared
Lola B replied to angels22's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
What about using Dapsone with children? My daughter was diagnosed with DH and wants to try Dapsone - we've been gluten free for the last couple of months since she was diagnosed, and the rash comes and goes. I've read quite a bit about the side effects of the medication and, frankly, I'm a bit scared to start her on this medicine. She also suffers from migraines... -
Did you decide to go with the Dapsone, and if so, how's it working for you?
-
I'm wondering if anyone has children that have taken Dapsone, and if so, could you please share your experience. My 12 year old daughter has been initially diagnosed with DH - we're waiting on a second biopsy - and the doctor recommended Dapsone, in addition to going gluten free. Some of the side effects are a bit frightening and I'm on the fence as to whether...

Hi. I've been reading through some of the postings on the site tonight and decided to join. Thanks for providing this forum for discussion. My twelve year old daughter has had a strange rash for approximately the last year. It started behind her knee and initially looked as though it was a mosquito bite. As time went on, the rash spread the the fronts...
