    Wouldn't they have to add that as an ingredient if sulfites were used? I also considered that potato chips are high glycemic and raises my blood sugar. Anyway, I just ate potato chips and here I am with a sinus infection, so it's still an ongoing issue.

    I eat the plain potato chips cause I'm allergic to milk and all but the plain have whey in them. And according to the allergist I'm not allergic to any oils. Someone mentioned that potato chips might be dipped in sulfites but I couldn't find any mention of that on google. What a mystery this is! lol

    Does anyone have any idea why I would get sinus infections when I eat potato chips. I can eat fried potatoes at home just fine. It says there's nothing in the bag but oil and potatoes. I have been really sick with sinus pain, runny nose and when I stopped the potato chips I got better. I ate the chips cause they seemed like the safest. I have been...

    She says they aren't itchy though but very painful. When she lived at home, her feet would be so cold , we were always trying to find ways to warm them up. I think I have Erythromelalgia which is a step up from Raynauds but I've never had sores on my toes.

    My daughter has Hashimoto's and she's away at college and emailed me, saying that her toe is killing her. She sent me a photo of it and it doesn't look that bad but cell phone images are sometimes not accurate. Previously her little toe was red and swollen and still is I think but now she is getting little sores on the top of her toes that are very painful...

    I think because I'm allergic to dairy I cannot take enzymes that have lactase in them because I can take Pancreatin without any problems which digests proteins, starches and fats, so I am happy that FINALLY my problem is solved! So sharing this in case it helps someone else. :-)

    No pineapple doesn't bother me.

    So I did try the digestive enzymes with food. One time I didn't vomit although my stomach wanted to, the next I vomited. So no more enzymes for me. Both times I ate a big meal and still I vomited. It feels like it's burning in my stomach so not sure why I cannot take them. It's very disappointing.

    I have a lot of muscle weakness...my muscles are disintegrating basically. I read that SIBO can cause problems with digestion of fatty acids and amino acids and I see bits of stuff not digested in the BM so figured it would be a good idea. When reading about how to heal the gut, they say that adding in a digestive enzyme is a good idea too.
  10. hayley3
    lol Gemini that's not a dumb question. I used to take some digestive enzymes and they said that if you take them between meals it digests inflammation so I didn't take them right away after I ate...so that might be it. The company, I just talked to them, said to open up the pill and take a smaller amount. However, right now I'm afraid to take them, after...

    I know this is an old post but I bought Digest Gold and it makes me vomit everytime I take them. I also did the same thing with a Garden of Life Product...So I am stumped trying to figure out why. It takes several hours before it happens but this is the second time I tried to take them.

    The biopsy said it definitely was not shingles.
  13. hayley3
    I wish I knew what a biopsy of DH showed if it wasn't taken adjacent to the rash area. I tried to google that lol but didn't work. I agree with you...They don't want anyone being smarter than they are. The minute I mentioned a diagnosis, they shut me out completely.
  14. hayley3
    I got the results of the biopsy. She said it was a food allergy of some sort. sighs............ When I know what foods I'm allergic to and hadn't eaten anything that I tested positive for. So that's the end of that. At least I was right, it wasn't shingles. Cheryl

    I'm sure it was a relief when you figured out it wasn't cancer. That's kinda neat yours was an identical, mirrored image, did a doctor get to see that? Mine sorta looked like braille dots on one side of my torso and poison ivy every where else. I always have to be different so the docs have no clue. lol Cheryl
  16. hayley3
    I would've died if mine had been identical on both sides...yikes! For years I thought I had poison ivy too, and just found out those are not poison ivy plants but boxelder saplings around my yard. And when the rash would show up somewhere else the next day and the day after, I thought I was somehow spreading the poison ivy. I did discover that very...

    Yes I know squirmingitch. I think the VA used to be much better than it is now. Even the doctors that come in from the University of Louisville, they just seem to have no desire to help figure out what's going on. They really don't care I think. If I was a doctor, the unusual cases would intrigue me more. One thing I've read about DH is, that it is...
  18. hayley3
    Thanks Colleen....Yes but it would've been much simpler for them to just do a biopsy....while I was there...ugghhhh And the reason I had a cold sore (it was beneath my nose) was because I had been blowing my nose for two weeks due to the sinus infection.
  19. hayley3
    Thanks Colleen. At this point I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. I'm still recovering from this cold. I'm on the 3rd week now. I've had fever blisters which is the same virus as shingles. It does not itch until it starts to heal. Have you had shingles and found it itchy? What I have is excruciatingly itchy. But if I rub those spots, it's painful...
  20. hayley3
    Well there went my last chance. They said DH is only on the knees and buttocks. It can't be on the torso or anywhere else. She said it looked herpetic on my leg but like bug bites on my torso. Oh and she was also wanting to give me medicine for shingles but that's rash she thought it was bug bites. I don't think shingles itches, it's more painful like...
  21. hayley3
    Thanks Colleen, I am going to make sure they are testing for DH. Honestly just looking at the rash and comparing it to google images, I'd say it's positively DH. Some has blisters, the rash comes back at the same place but then this time I have a new area, the bumps have that dark redness I am seeing in the pictures, and it's on both sides of my body. ...

    I tested negative last December. I've been eating a little gluten since last October. But I have gluten free oats in my pantry, so I really keep nothing in my house, but I ate out once a week and I did indulge in some donuts. Slowly I ate more and more but this was after the testing. A diagnosis is important to me. I'm thinking the rash has returned...
  23. hayley3
    Yes Colleen, I've had testing but I was mostly gluten free for many years. My gene came back positive (1 in 35 chance Dr said) but endoscopy only showed inflammation, other tests were negative. I'm hoping the rash will come through for me. I thought the rash was chiggers for a long time. Hopefully they are prepared to biopsy it tomorrow and will do it...
  24. hayley3
    Just the stuff in my signature and if I don't eat gluten, I don't ever get sick, even with a low white blood count. I did get an appt with the dermatologist! Lucky break there, thanks. Cheryl
  25. hayley3
    I really didn't want to push for them to do a biopsy, if I was way off base here. I know most rashes are very similar, which is why dermatologists most of the time have no clue unless they do a biopsy. I didn't know the rash was mostly in men. Interesting. Cheryl
