I appreciate the replies. I know that DH, or gluten rash is common but I didn't think about how I was getting sick so frequently until I thought about the fact that it's as direct and entry into the system as the mouth. I think we're all on a learning curve, including the doctors. From now on I will be keeping gloves to handle anything in the bathroom...

Thank you.

Just curious about this topic: I have DH on my hands and there are often open sores. Can gluten enter into the system that way?

I'm needing to know if a single pill prescribed by a doctor can cause a reaction if it has gluten in it? I can't find any brand that is gluten-free and my doctor 'doesn't believe' compounding is needed. Thank you.

It's not uncommon for celiac to come as a package deal. SCD diet is a good choice and so is GAPS. Both have online summaries that you can view.

My complete diet for the last weeks is listed on my original post. That's why I was stumped.

I sound like everyone else here with a garden variety of illnesses on top of illnesses too depressing to put in print.

The diet addresses many illnesses and it's aim is to...

Nasty subject.....sorry. Right now because of other digestive disorders on top of the celiac, I have been on GAPS diet for 11 weeks. I haven't been able to digest carbs other than carrot and garlic juices, but can eat chicken, lamb the broth and oils like nuts, cod liver oil, etc... Am on my first week of a little kraut juice, about 4 tsp. throughout...

When I read all that you've written, it sounds amazingly like myself only you're 16 months ahead of me in the SCD experience. I am inspired to keep trying. Love to talk with you sometime. Ann
