    What a relief!

    Are you guys still breaking out after going gluten-free? I took a few weeks to heal but I don't have ongoing breakouts. Are you sure you aren't getting sneaky gluten from somewhere? What do your current bloodwork test show?

    ARCHIVED The Dh Rash

    Sure sounds like my DH. But you forgot one thing; THE PAIN, THE PAIN!

    The worst part of my rash was active for about 2 months and took just as long to heal. Now I only get it when I'm glutened. I have one bump on my hand from some bean soup my Mom made this week. I did ask her what was in it but I should have read the bean can labels. Just goes to show that even someone with experience makes rookie mistakes.

    Congratulations!! You should totally brag! Being able to wear hose at all and then they don't have to be Amish black out hose is a huge victory! Next step ... capris!

    If you feel you cannot stick to the diet unless you have a definate dx, then keep eating gluten and get the celiac blood panel and an endoscopy of the small bowel with multiple biopsies. You could be dx'd that way. If the tests show negative, you could still be gluten intolerant and continue to have symptoms. If a dx isn't that important, go on the...

    I think the villi blunting warrants diet trial but in the meantime, getting the second opinion from a recommended expert is a good idea if you feel you need a secure dx. With your family history and blunted villi, a positive dietary response would be a clincher, IMO.

    I agree, just go on the diet and it will quickly be clear to you the benefits. You have definate symptoms that should respond if gluten is your problem. That's exactly what I did. I started the diet and never looked back.

    I see your dr said that celiac disease would have showed up in your endoscopy. It's not always noticed with the naked eye, that's why they take multiple biopsies. Did they take biopsies of the small intestine? Or did they stop at the stomach? Ask for a copy of all your tests. There are different ways to interpret them. Some dr's take some interpretations...

    Are you eating gluten now? What is your diet like?

    mcphena, how are you feeling? Is going back to whole foods calming down your symptoms? I hope you are doing well. I use stevia and hadn't noticed it taste the way your describe. Granted it's different from sugar but I used artificial sweeteners for years so it's fine for me. I use the pure extract as I was glutened by the packets. Thanks, Bea for...

    You can do it! There are just a lot of ups and downs when you start out. I agree with the simple whole foods. The frozen prepared foods or mixes are hard on you in the beginning. Just simple foods you prepare yourself then note down in your food journal. If you have symptoms, then note them too. This seems simplistic but it really will help you pinpoint...

    Thanks for the info on spaghetti squash. I need to try it again, mine was bland but I can make it like suggested. Does it keep for a couple of days once cooked? Even squash seems hard to digest for me so I can only have a small amount. I agree on water at room temp. If it's very hot outside I like it cold but otherwise room temp. Just a note: chewing...

    I used corn tortillas in place of bread. They are cheap and easy to use. I like them toasted and they make a good base for pizza. For snacks I like cheese and fruit, chocolate and nuts, popcorn. I don't eat much in the processed foods arena. The PB cookies with no flour are the best. I made those long before I went gluten-free.
  15. ang1e0251
    Nuts, coconut oil, coconut milk, avocados, meats and cheeses.

    I'm sorry you have to live with people that are insensitive but you are going to meet a lot of those in your life. Just keep on with your resolve and ignore them. They put you down because if they recognized how exactly your illness works, they might have to do something about their own health problems. You will meet the right person and he won't care...

    You're cool just don't get it into your mouth.

    I think I would research the team doing the work on the vaccine and e-mail them for a direct response to your questions.

    Remember that calcium needs magnesium to bind. They work together. Here is a link that talks about it. Open Original Shared Link

    I had fries once in the past year. I did have a reaction so I won't have them again. I do eat their burgers 2 - 3 times a month, bunless, at different locations with no problem.

    Have a great Thanksgiving with no hair ripping!

    I was just looking at my old fry bread recipe the other day. I haven't made it gluten-free but I think just subbing the flour for a gluten-free flour blend and adding some Xanthum gum would do it. Let me know how they turn out. My kids would be really surprised if I made these for them. I don't think they have had them since we left AZ.

    I thought I read that green means it ran through the large intestine faster than normal. Dr. Oz has a Poop Primer on his website.

    I've never had the shots but the B12 I take orally definately gives me a boost in energy. When I first started, I took a higher dose and had to make sure I didn't take them in the evening. They would interfere with my sleep.

    I have the restless leg after going gluten-free. I keep mine under control with magnesium and Sublingual B12. The B12 is the key. If I forget it, I feel that squirmy feeling coming back so I get up and take it. Soon the feeling is gone. I never tried to change my iron intake.
