Hi, I was diagnosed with DH back in June of this year. My DH doesn't nessarily match the "textbook" descriptions in my opinion. I would get red bumps, that would BURN if I touched them on anything. Mine were never blisters, would never pop open or scab over. I would get them on my elbows, knees, the back of my calves, sometimes, rarely, I think I would...

ARCHIVED Craving A Granola Bar Badly!
Tephie replied to missnbagels's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I was also missing granola bars. I recently found a new product at Sams Club, haven't seen it in regular stores. It's Nature's Valley Roasted Nut Crunch. I love them! -
I know, sick and wrong. But I used to eat these at lease once a week. I want to try attempting to make them on my own, but have no clue about what to use for the "secret sauce". Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Stephanie

ARCHIVED Do I Need A New Doctor?
Tephie replied to someday's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
A second opinion wouldn't hurt. See if you can find a local Celiac group that might have suggestions on a reputable dr. Hope you get feeling better soon. Stephanie -
ARCHIVED New Nature Valley Bar
Tephie posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi All, I thought I would let everyone know of a new product I found today. I have been sad that I have not been able to find a very good cereal bar/granola bar type thing for snacks. My husband and I were at Sam's club today and he of course was running around sampling everything He finally yells at me to come back and look at these bars, so I... -
ARCHIVED Am I Going To Have Pregnancy Problems?
Tephie replied to annapumpkin's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi Cheryl, Welcome to the board, this is a great place for information. I don't know a whole lot about PCOS, but I do know that it can cause issues when trying to get pregnant. I belong to another board, and a lot of ladies with PCOS have to take glucophage or metaphormin (sp) these are pills to help with the insulin resistance. So do you have celiac... -
Hello, I was recently diagnosed a month or so ago, so I don't have a lot of info. But I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I have been trying for three and a half years, so I know your pain. Have you had any kind of fertility work up? Contact me anytime if you need someone to talk. Take care, Stephanie

I am paraphrasing - taken from the Living Gluten Free for Dummies book. Gluten Intolerance - Means that that your body doesn't react well to a particular food and you should avoid it. Notice she said should. Celiac - Is a genetic intolerance to gluten. Triggered by eating gluten, the immune system responds by attacking the gluten molecule, and in...

Hi, welcome to the board! Definately sounds like DH to me. I am curious though who told you not to follow the gluten free diet? That just seems crazy to me. Everything I have read, even if you are asymptomatic you are still doing damage, which is evidenced by your biopsy. I have read a couple of posts mentioning something for the itch, but I...

ARCHIVED Kraft Mac & Cheese Topping (the Blue Can)
Tephie replied to Fiddle-Faddle's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks Janet. I will go check Wal-Mart today. I have found that if you spend over $25.00 on Amazon shipping is free. They have a huge gluten free selection and most are a great deal. It does seem that the mac n cheese is not though. Thanks again for your reply. Stephanie -
ARCHIVED Kraft Mac & Cheese Topping (the Blue Can)
Tephie replied to Fiddle-Faddle's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi All, So, I looked for this stuff at Albertson's today and could not find it. I am about to put in an order on Amazon, they have a case of 12 for $23.88, is this a good buy? Also, since I haven't actually eaten this stuff before, does it really taste like the stuff in the box? I appreciate any input. Stephanie -
ARCHIVED Feel Like I Am Going To Lose It!
Tephie replied to Mickide's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Welcome and I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I was recently diagnosed as well and the first couple of weeks were very overwhelming. I think I ate baked potatoes and some sort of mexican food every day for over a week I too was hungry all the time even when I was through eating I felt as if I hadn't eaten a thing. But that has subsided... -
ARCHIVED Looking For Places To Eat In Utah And Las Vegas
Tephie replied to GlutenGetsMePoopin's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
WOW, thanks for that list. I wasn't able to find anything like this specific to Utah, so thanks. This is a great list, but the small towns you mentioned will not have these restaurants. I do knot that Moab has Burker King, McDonald's, and maybe a Wendy's. -
ARCHIVED Looking For Places To Eat In Utah And Las Vegas
Tephie replied to GlutenGetsMePoopin's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
Matt, I don't really have any recommendations for that part of Utah since they are quite small towns. I am fairly new to eating gluten free, but I have read several posts about non-chain restaurants seem to be more accommodating. There is a place called Smitty's in Moab that I LOVE, not sure about the gluten free though. Anyways, not that I was much... -
ARCHIVED Could I Have Celiac Disease?
Tephie replied to tired's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Don't have much advice, but wanted to welcome you to the board. Good luck. Stephanie -
Meredith, I don't have any advice, but just wanted to say sorry. It's amazing that there are still SO many doctor's that know very little to nothing about Celiac or DH. I am starting to feel better physically (still getting new rashes everyday) so I have decided I am not going to bother trying to get a biopsy. I mainly wanted this to show what kind...

ARCHIVED Buying Flour On Ebay
Tephie replied to Tephie's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Thanks Jenny! It's just myself and my husband so I don't think we could go through that much flour before it went bad. Stephanie. -
Has anyone had any issues with buying gluten free flours from eBay? I guess the big thing to be concerned about would be CC. Or does anyone know a good store (probably online) where you can buy bulk flours so you can mix your own? It just seems like this would be so much more cheaper than buying it pre-mixed. Thanks, Stephanie
