    Obviously you are going to have to handle your baby. There is no way around that. The nature of babies is a very hands on. Besides they learn by being touched, that is how they develop. Poor baby if she has got to eat gluten for such a long time. I can understand your delimma, maybe wear gloves and protective clothing. Judy

    ARCHIVED Itching

    Born2run2 replied to wowzer's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    I can totally relate to you. I got to itching so bad I would practically draw blood. A gluten free dairy free diet has done wonders for me. Aveeno seems to help, but I don't get the stuff with oatmeal, I get the stuff for babies. I have terribly sensitive skin. Judy

    I also hope that is the extent of your reaction. I also get a severe case of the hives as well as having to stick close to the bathroom. I have both Celiac disease and the Dermatitis thing going. I sure hope you start feeling better, maybe keep some gluten free goodies on hand. That way you won't be tempted to eat the other stuff. Judy

    Thanks RiceGuy I will look into the brands you mentioned. I guess I have to do some research. Maybe I will have to look at Gluten Free Mall or Miss Robens. It just goes to prove nothing should go in the mouth without researching the ingredients. Judy

    I get a little hot under the collar when people tell me they feel sorry for me. I had someone say "it is too bad you have read every label before you buy anything. It must be rough to have to be that careful." I'm not looking for anyones pity, that is not how I want to run my life. So I can see where it would bother you to have people make comments. But I...

    I think I got into some gluten with some calcium pills that I took. I looked on the label after I started itching and it had Maltodextrine. I started itching, and am as red as a beet. Is there a good source for gluten free supplements. I guess I'll have to stop taking it until I find a safer product. Thanks for any help you may have to offer. Judy

    Am going to be starting a support group in Kitsap County Washington. We don't have one except for Port Townsend which is in Jefferson County. Anyone interested please email me at j_herman53@msn.com. Thankyou in advance, Judy

    I sympathize with you since I have the problem too. Everything I attempt to do back fires on me. I haven't given up on it yet something has got to work. Judy

    I've been diagnosed about 11 years ago. I only have a problem if I accidentaly get even the tiniest bit of Gluten or dairy. I think I must have yesterday becauseI'm swollen and stuffy today. I'm positive I didn't get any Gluten, but must have gotten some dairy. Also you might be reacting to preservatives or salt. I even have a problem with Brown Rice, but...

    It's got to be disheartening to be avoiding all that and still be having symptoms. I forgot did you mention dairy? I cannot eat any dairy at all. I admire you for being in the world of gluten and being able to stick with the plan Welda. I'm sorry to hear that you are getting a divorce. That would be enough to at least tempt me in to eating all those poison...

    It used to be hard for me around the holiays until I offered to bring the stuffing rolls and desserts to my daughters house. Of course it's all gluten free I just forget to mention it and the others seem not to notice. I found especially for a good couple of years that holidays and special occassions were really tough. It'll get better. I know it doesn't...

    This is an old post, but I just had to share what I do to keep my energy level up. Raw fruit iis a good pick me up, and so is a handful of raisins. Also are you getting enough potassium? If you are newly diagnosed you have to give your intestines a chance to heal. I took mega vitamin every day, I think iit helped the process. Judy

    Everyone has had some good advice so far. My suggestion is to stick with the basics. You can't go wrong with meat, veggies, fruit, and some folks have to watch the dairy at first, but there is many great soy alternatives. I also recommend getting a bread machine, the commercial stuff is just plain disgusting and I had a hard time swallowing it. Good Luck...

    I agree most of the responsibility has to be on your daughters shoulders. Is there a support group in your area? I know I had to make the decision myself that I was going to stay gluten free. Of course there is a difference between being an adult and being a child. I am a grandparent so it pains me to say this, but if your folks don't cooperate, they should...

    Well so far today I have pretty much stayed with the old weight watchers plan. I think I'll buy a better book when I get some money maybe after Christmas. Looked in the local library and they didn't have any copies. Plenty of vegetarian, and low carb books, but not what I was looking for. I just substituted the wheat bread for a slice of gluten free. I also...

    Anymore I make most of my food from scratch including ice cream and "dairy." I say that with quotes because I can't do regular dairy and haver to rely on soy. I can relate what you are talking about Maggie. I went thru the same thing. It will take you awhile to heal, and you can still have your pizza's and burgers, you will just have to make your own pizza...

    I've never seriously looked at SB diet. I have been so discouraged with Atkins that it kind of soued me on all of them. I will look it up on the net and see what it is about. I'm really lleaning toward WW. I have a couple of old books, before they started the points system. Maybe substitute gluten-free bread for the wheat bread, and gluten-free cereal for...

    I used to sabotage myself. I'd get better then start eating the stuff that was bound to make me sick again. I can't believe how sorry I was for myself, I'd go past a bakery and cry. I know that sounds melodramatic, but I was hoping for a miraculous cure. Something like this has all been a joke, go ahead and eat till your hearts content you deserve it. ...

    Did anybody else go thru a grieving mode when it became apparent that you wouldn't be able to enjoy all the bread based foods anymore? It's been a few years, but before I found tasty substitutes for my favorite foods I had a very bad chip on my shoulder. I thought I couldn't have the muffins and donuts anymore and that became very important. Of course I...

    Hi Everyone, It's been awhile since I've been backposting on the board. I have been trying to find a way to lose another 25 pounds. Went on Atkins, but for some reason it is not working for me anymore. I have lost 35 pounds, but it is coming back fast and furious. So I'm thinking maybe weight watchers might help, but it is wheat based, and I'm not sure how...

    Hi all I'm new to this forum but just to let you know not all is lost when giving up gluten. I've had glutenfree jelly donuts, gluten free pizza and homemade gooey brownies. I just had to learn to be my own bakery. Judie
