    I was diagnosed with DH in late August, been gluten-free since then, with the diet and dapsone my rash has gone away. BUT, now i'm breaking out on my forehead, eyebrows and in my head (again) i've never had it on my forehead or eyebrows before. Can my makeup and hair products just now start to bother me? I did read my root lifter product and it had clearly...

    I was walking around Walgreens yesterday waiting on a prescription and i found Thai Kitchen noodle cart products, on the front of the package it says GLUTEN FREE, so naturally i grabbed one and was reading it..so I bought 3 different ones..i had the Pad Thai..it wasn't to bad..you just add boiling water. I'm sure most of you have tried these, but being a...

    I"m sorry Nora, I don't remember saying DH wasn't celiacs, in fact my derm told me it was and since my last post on here, My gastro specialist said the same thing, I did have the blood tests Monday the 15th, waiting on results...and i have no clue about government money in the US for celiacs and i never even thought about it. Lori OhioDad, I hope...

    I"m not sure i've seen the Lundberg brand in my stores i shop at, i'll have to check more into it. I'm just going to stop eating them and see if the few spots i have goes away. I am allergic to Iodine, i had a CAT scan done once as a child and woke up the next day looking like the elephant woman, HIVES galore, I don't think Iodized salt bothered me, but of...

    The section on my lower back was heading south! but my derm. said i was very lucky it didn't appear in places where its seen. I think the worse spot was my pubic area, thats enough to drive you nuts. And when he told me the name of the rash, my first thought was HERPES??????? Then he calmed me down LOL explained what it was. My rash is mostly gone now, maybe...

Lori Ps..NO whole foods by me, but i do have a natural healthfood store near me that carries a nice variety of gluten-free products, and a Bakery in Alliance Ohio that i haven't...

I instantly had pain in my chest area that radiated to my back and sometimes down my arm, I thought i was having a heart attack, I would throw up a lot when i had these attacks, I went to my surgeon after a trip to the ER, i never made my appt. for...

    I'm new to this diet, and at my health food store i found different flours, there is the rice flour, tapioca flour, and a few others, which would be better for baking cakes and pastries, and which would be better for just cooking with? I also need to ask about the gluten-free breads i have seen, i bought one brand and i'm afraid to spell it..it's something...

    My dermatologist started me on the gluten-free diet late August, So i've been on it now for a little while and feeling MUCH better, rash is pretty much gone My gastro dr. said the same thing, being on the diet and the dapsone and feeling much better is a sure sign YOU have celiacs, he just did the blood work to see, curious i guess, but not doubting..I...

    Well i saw my Gastro Spec. today for the first time, a very nice doctor that acutally sat and talked with me and wasn't in a hurry to run out the door. Afer listening to my history of gastro problems and "IBS" diagnosis for 16 yrs, then my most recent visit and diagnosis from the derm. that i had DH, He agreed that is most likely what i have, he did run the...

    I Have DH I was just recently diagnosed with it, My understanding is, the only way to stop the rash is a gluten free diet and a med called dapsone, some people need to be on the med and the diet fora while before they clear up, IF you can, see a dermatologist and get a biopsy of the rash. but going gluten-free will definitly help in the meantime.

    All i can say is WOW!!! i'm reading these posts and relating so much, i went in to my family dr. last summer with a rash (2006) i was told i picked something up from camping, went back in 3 weeks later as the rash didn't go away, i was told my husband must be giving me something from his work, got more predisone, was back in 3 weeks with the rash still.....

    I glutened myself last week, i read the hot dog chili sauce can 2 times, didn't see anything that i was familiar with, btw i've only been gluten free for a month and a half, so i put a drizzle of chili on my hotdog, about 30 minutes later, i could feel my head fogging up, then the migraine started, i got real tired..it only lasted that evening, thank god...

    HI Wowzer, I have had DH in my pubic area, always external, but it itched really bad, you might want to call your ob/gyn or regular dr.
  22. LoriC
    He did do a scraping at my first appt. but i was told thats not a biopsy. I'm just going to see what this dr has to say, he won't do any tests unless i say so lol. I might go for the scope to see how much damage was done to my intestine, i've been diagnosed with IBS for 16 yrs, so i'm worried how much damage was done in all that time. I don't understand why...

    My DH was never a hard lump, they were always small red itchy pimples, that would mushroom into more after a few days. sounds to me like you got bit by an insect and you might be having a reaction to the bite.

    Does anyone know the brand name of a corn tortilla that i can buy? I tried a gluten-free bread and wasn't real thrilled with it. I saw mentioned on here somehwere (I can't find it now) a person liked to use the 100% corn tortilla as a sandwich wrap, which sounds good to me, Thanks for any help, Lori
