    Thanks! I don't know if I have DH (If I itch even just a little horrible little bumps come out and the itchiness becomes worse) but wondered if anyone who knows they have DH would mind doing an experiment with Vitamin E skin oil (from soybean not wheat). I slather it on very liberally and let it sit without disturbing it for maybe 5 min. Then I notice...

    What have you found that works for you? I tried coconut oil on the advise of my mom but it made it itch worse. Thanks!

    About 3 days ago I started having clear blisters come up through my skin that itch like crazy. I don't yet know if it is DH but if I itch it then it gets worse and more clear blisters come up wherever I've itched the skin. I've tried a number of things I had around the house to get it to stop and am having good luck with Vitamin E skin oil with soybean oil...

    I was in Egypt on a 4 day overland with a private tour operator. I explained gluten free in advance and then to all my travel guides (we switched guides depending on what city we were in). I also had all the meals included so I had a guide at each one or at least at the beginning so that they could explain gluten free. I didn't get sick once and had some...

    I only get it if I'm going to be around an at risk population. I only get the mercury free version. I had a test done that shows I react to Thermisol (a mercury containing preservative in the normal flu shot). I also react to formaldehyde and aluminum so the shots can be very toxic to me. I haven't been tested for it but I know I react poorly to Neomycin...

    Concur with above. You may be able to occasionally get away with a clean batch of Lays but it is a risk so I don't eat them as I've been glutened by them also. Only Stax from Lays is safe. I also eat a brand called Michael Seasons. Never been glutened by them. Michelle

    Due to this thread I decided to check out our local Dairy Queen. I lucked out and the kid behind the counter new all the gluten free items because his mom is gluten free. When he mentioned the Blizzards I asked about the cross contamination issue. He pointed to a separate blizzard mixer on a side counter and said they used a dedicated mixer. Kudos to them...

    Bummer! Usually I can't have anything manufactured in a facility with wheat but haven't had a reaction so far. However I do usually end up with one at some point when I get a cc batch and then have to give the item up. So far so good so I think my current batch is not cc but you never know when the dreaded cc will strike. I did miss the warning on the label...

    The other day my husband comes up to show me an ad from our local grocery store (Vitamin Cottage Natural Grocers) for Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches. I figured it was a typo and we both peered at the picture of the product to see if we could see any indication that the product was gluten free. We couldn't tell but I really did not believe such a product...

    Thanks for posting this. Sometimes I get a reaction but don't know where from. I would never have dreamed olive oil would be cross contaminated but now I know better and will check out the products I buy. Michelle

    We just finished a camping trip at the Grand Canyon. It was part of a 16 day trip and by the time we got there I needed more gluten free bread, hot dog buns and hamburger buns. I was pleased to see that the grocery store there carried all 3. They are Udi's and in the frozen food section. They also have a dedicated gluten free section with alot of products...

    Let me know as I thought it sounded really good. Once I tried the cheese cake and it was to die for! Thinking about this makes me want to go back...

    I tried to order the Lobster Nachos one time and was told it wasn't gluten free. I just looked at the menu and it appears that it is fried with wheat items. Did your Red Lobster have a dedicated frier? If so then I may try again but call around to find a Red Lobster that can offer it. Thanks! Michelle

    We use The Rib House. It says Gluten Free right on the bottle. The ingredients list looks fabulous (all items you can identify) and it tastes great (probably because it is all natural and no chemicals). We get it at our local King Sooper which is a Kroger brand store so maybe it is available in other stores. Here is a link to order it on-line if you want...

    Excellent recommendation by your Dr. Although I don't use the product you mention I was curious and looked them on on the Environmental Working Group Cosmetic Safety Database. Looks like they are a good one so next time I'm in the store I'll keep an eye out for them. Here is a link for the database if you want to see how they rate. Open Original Shared...

    Kolla, Many products have different ingredients in different countries. When I was in China I couldn't eat M&Ms since they had MSG in them. You might want to post your query on the international board to try and locate some folks from your country as they will give you more useful advice than folks like myself who assumed you were from the USA. Best...

    I second the suggestion for Costco. I've had great luck with their large packages (Kirkland brand) of raw nuts and have never been glutened. I checked on-line and it appears there is one near you. Good luck! Michelle

    This is a great substitute and has a much healthier ingredients list. Your daughter will love it. EnviroKidz Organic Koala Crisp Cereal Ingredients Organic Brown Rice Flour, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Cocoa, Chocolate Flavor, Sea Salt, Organic Molasses, and Rice Bran Extract. Lots of grocery stores carry it or you can order it on-line...

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation. When I first went gluten free we tried a mixed household. It did not work. My husband got crumbs on everything. So we went gluten free in the house for a period of time. He still would bring home takeout and get gluten all over things like the microwave handle or refrigerator handle that I didn't know about. Eventually...

    No meatballs on the pizza and unfortunately it was the pizza. I had leftover and gave it another try. I took the enzymes again, just in case, and still got glutened. I won't be going back. Luckily we have at least two other pizza restaurants in the area where I've never had a problem and I don't even need to take the digestive enzymes there.

    I really like Udi's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. They have snickerdoodle too but I didn't try them. Unfortunately my King Soopers tries to hide them. They have Udi's in three places. A stand up freezer. Then way across the bakery section in a chest freezer. The third place is the hardest to find. They were on a stand alone rack near the meat section...

    Thanks! I hope they have them at my costco. They look really good.

    Thanks for posting this. I didn't even know they had a gluten free menu or that there was one near me. I tried it yesterday at the Westminster CO location. I thought the pizza was very good. I also got a gluten free Caesar salad. Unfortunately something glutened me. Since it was a new restaurant I took my glutenease digestive enzymes and still had a reaction...
  24. Michelle1234
    Hmmm... I'm very sensitive and have had the chips a number of times with no reaction. I think the first time I had them bring a bag out and I looked at the ingredients. Its been a while since we've gone (a year or 2?) so maybe they changed suppliers. Of course the veggies and cut up apples that they give you as dippers are a more healthy option. :-) They...

    I can't say what would be right for you but I can tell you my experience which may or may not help. Before being diagnosed I had no symptoms. I went to the hospital with chest pains one day out of the blue. It was the first time I had them. I had never had problems with stomach pain, gas or diarrhea. The Drs. tested my heart which was fine. They then thought...
