    I had my gallbladder out 2 months after i had my son in 1991 and my tummy problems started then. I had upper/lower GI's done, scopes, only thing i was told over and over again is that i have IBS and gastritis..I took myself off dairy it helped some. Then last year i developed a rash, my family doctors tried to treat me with predisone and creams, it did calm...

    Hi Ohiodad, You are feeling overwhelmed and I know that feeling as i'm new to this too. I found some gluten free products at our local natural health food store, maybe try a GNC near you? We aren't rich either, we're just your moderate average family, I don't even work, my husband does and we're raising 2 children. The meals I try to cook are regular meals...

    Thanks so much, I refuse to go back on gluten for testing, I"m going to see the gastro spec. just to talk to him and see what he has to say, if he starts the doubts with me, I'm not going to push it with him, I know i feel better, my family has told me i look much better, I'm not so tired anymore, i don't get migraines anymore, it's amazing really. I am losing...

    I've only been gluten free for about a month now and I miss a lot of foods too I bought gluten free bread and made some tuna salad, i have to toast the bread tho..it tastes nothing like regular bread..the tuna seems to fill me up more. You don't have to starve yourself, eat more often maybe? keep yourself filled. I've been snacking more on rice cakes, fruits...

    thanks Denise, you have helped me a lot..I think i'm going to go with my "gut" instinct here and trust my derma. diagnosis..now when i go to see another dr. or dentist, do i tell them i have been diagnosed with DH or celiacs? see this is where i'm confused. Also, I didn't think insurance companies were allowed to deny due to preexisting illnesses..anyone...

    MY dermatologist firmly believes I have DH, I also believe I do..NO biopsy or testing has been done, other than he put me on a gluten free diet a month ago and been on Dapsone for 2 months now..My rash has pretty much cleared up, other than a few spots here and there. I had a followup yesterday with him, He put me back on dapsone for 6 more weeks and told...

    When I told my family dr. that my dermatologist was treating me for DH, he gave me that look and said did he do a biopsy? I said no, he did a scraping tho..(not the same thing i guess) then he said hmmmm well i'd rather a gastro spec. tell me you have that, so he set me up with one..but anyway, we went into this discussion about celiacs, he said i doubt you...

    Open Original Shared Link It's in alliance ohio, that eastern ohio. I haven't tried her bakery yet, i'm new to a gluten free diet, but i'm sure for the holidays i'll buy from her. I hope this helps others out.

    I live near Youngstown Ohio, and i'm new to a gluten free diet, I have DH, just recently diagnosed in August. My doctor gave me an article about Kathy's creations in Alliance, I took a ride to a health food store near me, they had about 3 aisles of gluten free products and 2 freezers full of gluten free items, I bought the bread ( which i miss the most) some...

    My dermatologist is treating me for DH, i'm on dapsone 100mg a day now..he never did a skin biopsy, he said he wants to clear the rash up first with the med and gluten free diet..I told my family dr. and he set me up with a gastro spec. in Oct. I've had gastro problems for about 16yrs, been told its IBS, but now i'm worried i have had celiacs all these years...

    I was just recently diagnosed with DH by my dermatologist late August, so i'm really fresh to this stuff, needless to say i was floored when he told me what he was treating me for. I told my family doc, he seemed in disbelief, asked if i had a biopsy done of the rash, i said no he did a scrapping tho..which isn't the same i guess? so my family doc set me...
