I think that, according to the experts, DH does blister. I posted a couple of medical references about this. It could be possible that after you have been gluten-free, it doesn't come back as strong when glutened. Here's a few more: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

ARCHIVED I Feel Incredible, Whats Going On? Advice
kareng replied to houdini's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Were you tested for parasites, etc? Maybe you just finally got everything back to normal - the good bacteria vs. the bad. Have fun! Eat what you like. If you start feeling bad, get tested for Celiac when you have been eating a regular gluten filled diet for a few months. I realize this is a Celiac forum, but not everyone has Celiac. -
This is not true. If this were true everything we touched would go into our bodies. There are a very few things that are small enough to go through skin. An example is a nicotine patch which is specially made to be small enought to go through. But not the whole patch, just some cells on the patch.

Disney is a gluten free wonderland! When you go in, go to the visitor center in the "City Hall". They have a list of what each place has that is gluten-free. They have dedicated fryers and gluten-free buns. They have someone trained to keep the allergy/ gluten-free food safe.

ARCHIVED So Frustrated... Daughter Keeps Getting Glutened.
kareng replied to Mom2-2girls's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Before we jump to super sensitive perhaps we should look at the common sense, easier to fix things? Like eating somewhere besides home? I would send her food with her or not send her at all for a few months until her health improves. She is only a couple of months gluten free and , if she is getting gluten at these baby sitting situations, she really... -
ARCHIVED Igg Intolerance Testing?
kareng replied to lockerbear's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I have never seen any scientific evidence that hair testing works. Before you spend your money, you might want to see if they are legit. Remember, a website trying to sell you something, in this case a " test", is not going to have objective scientific evidence. Same with these stool testing places that refuse to let their methods be peer reviewed. -

ARCHIVED Why Am I Not Sick From Eating Gluten?!?!?!
kareng replied to saaa-wheat<3's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I wasn't asking if you were tested for Hashi's (that is in your signature). I was wondering if, before going gluten free you were tested for Celiac with a blood test or a biopsy or if they had biopsied the rash for DH. Look slike they biopsied but you think they may have done it wrong. What I'm wondering is if you really have Celiac. Maybe you don't and... -

You get your " pure ground beef" and go out your door and get some of that sticky stuff the deers lick, off your pine trees! Add it to your ground beef. You don't need other to add it. In all seriousness, it is safe from a gluten stand point. -

I finally worked up the energy to skim it. The " Do Less" did pop out at me, along with buy & read books and sign up for a computer motivation! Will need a lot of motivation to read Motivational books! I think that is an excellent and achievable goal! It can be made more fun with the addition of bath oils, champagne, and a hunky man.
