  1. Me three! I was worried about that. The other weird thing, is that I haven't had one attack of eczema since this started (I usually get it in the soft folds of my elbows, back of the knees and under my bottom. Those are about the only places I haven't had a rash since this all started back in July). I guess my body can only handle one rash at a time. Also...
  2. I've only been gluten-free for 5 or 6 weeks. My dh rash started back in July, the first few weeks I didn't notice much of a change but all of a sudden I'm having rapid improvement. I look like a giant mass of scar tissue but I'm having less new bumps and they tend to go away if I manage not to claw them into a bloody mess. I did have one really bad break...
  3. I take Zyrtec for allergies and it doesn't help with my rash. Neither does Allegra, Benydryl, prescription hydoyzine? or any other antihistimine for me. I don't think it would be so bad to have scabies because it can go away with treatment pretty quick. I know because my daughter and I had it when she was little and it's NOT only sexually transmitted...

  5. I've had some luck with the Whole Foods mint lotion combined with aloe, apple cider vinegar, organic extra virgin coconut oil and clear calamine lotion. I soak in a tub with the aloe, acv, evco. Then I make a paste out of the mint lotion and calamine. This has been the result of 7 months of trial and error. Also, I've used the orajel but the tubes are so...
  6. I have a vanilla gluten-free protein mix and I add spinich, mango, blueberries, raspberries and pineapple chunks and drink it in the car. I also made homeade gluten-free peanut butter granola (if you can tolerate gluten-free oats) and add that to vanilla yogurt with blueberries and cinnamon. I'm not a big bread eater but I keep a loaf of Rudi's or Udi's on...
  7. Isn't it just supposed to be the "light" ones with only 3.5% alcohol?
  8. I really miss Blue Moon. Not a big fan of Redbridge and really, really don't like Bards. Hard cider is ok. Lately I've been drinking Smirinov and Cranberry juice because I just can't stomach wine or any other hard liquors. I used to love Margaritas as well but last time I drank a couple I was so sick the next day, I can't even bring myself to drink one again...
  9. It's gluten free and dairy free. I'm a little leery of soy cheese but it's getting good reviews. bold-organics.com/about-us/
  10. My hair is brown but tends to have reddish highlights. I don't think that counts though because I look very Italian and I don't think there are many Italian redheads running amok.
  11. Starting in July, my first bump was on my bottom. I thought it was a spider bite or something and actually went an accute care clinic and was given a topical steroid. Then I started getting them all over and thought my house was infested with bugs. I couldn't figure out why no one else was being attacked. Then I realized it was October and all the bugs were...

  13. Thanks for the tip! I'll definately be looking into that book.
  14. I came home for lunch today and pan fried two of the leftovers in a little coconut oil to heat and crisp them up! To die for delicious.
  15. -Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. So delicious makes a coconut milk cream called Chocolate Chip cookie dough that is gluten-free! It's not cheap but it's really, really good. Open Original Shared Link
  16. Potstickers - dumplings, fried egg rolls
  17. My ex-doctor told me that she didn't want to test me for celiac disease because "I didn't have the right symptoms for celiac and even if I did have it, she couldn't give me any medicine for it and I shouldn't eat wheat anyway with my severe IBS with diahrea but she could give me an anti-depressant to take at night for the IBS and another one to during the...
  18. My friend and I made vietnamese spring rolls with rice paper, rice noodles, lettuce, shrimp, red pepper, cashews and shredded carrots with a gluten-free peanut sauce for dipping. It was time consuming but delicious.
  19. I can't even imagine being pencil thin and living on vodka but the image made me laugh really hard and I need all the laughs I can get.
  20. I guess in one respect I'm very lucky. I work in a building with two other celiacs and so it's no big deal to anyone at this point. Now the first time I attempted to go out with a group of girlfriends I had already eaten at home. When the server took our order I told her I was just going to be having a vodka cranberry cocktail and one of my friends...
  21. I didn't even look at the date, I just saw the topic and thought, "wow! Papa John's doesn't make someone sick". I was one of those people that posted 5 or 6 times several years ago and left. Some of us come back. When my blood test came back negative several years ago, I didn't think I belonged. Come to find out, I do.
  22. I have an oral allergy to apples, almonds and hazelnuts since before the term oral allergy was invented. The allergist said it had to do with my pollen allergy. I think that may be what you have. Since I've started taking zyrtec every day, I can handle an occasional almond (like a lunabar). I'm more scared of raw apples and hazelnuts than I am of gluten....
  23. I always tried to avoid Papa John's in particular when I still ate gluten because it hurt my stomach worse than anything. My stomach would swell up to three times it's normal size and along with the diahrea, cramps and never-ending gas! I know I'm not your mother (or your doctor) but I'm throwing this out there as a life lesson. Five years ago I suspected...
  24. My diagnosis is pretty new (although I posted here years ago because I already suspected) and this is cracking me up! First because I actually commented to my mom after dinner, "sigh, it feels so nice to have normal poops" My additions to this thread are: You have a toaster with a post-it note that says, "Mom's toaster" You yank a package of lunch...
