    I went to IHOP with a friend who is supposed to be on a gluten-free/cf diet for her daughter, who has mild Autism and is still nursing. On the way there we were talking about the evils of wheat and I showed her the DH breakout I was having on my arm on the way to our table. The waitress saw it and said OMG what's wrong? I told her it was an allergic reaction...

    I don't think he's interested in doing any testing. For us, the diet is enough of a test. Someday if it becomes necessary to have "test results" for whatever reason we'll deal with it then. Today he's finishing off the cream puffs... agh! lol

    When I took the kids and myself off gluten, the house pretty much went gluten-free by default. Hubby keeps a couple packs of ramen noodles around for a quick meal and tends to eat gluten when we're away from home, but has otherwise been gluten-free for a couple of months now. He has been VERY supportive of the kids' and my gluten-free diets (especially...

    I was feeling pretty similarly before I went off gluten. My main reason was my kids' teeth, but since I had been having such bad joint pain, I began following the diet as well. I realized the other day that it's been at least 2 weeks since I took ANY ibuprofen. Before I went gluten-free I had to take 3-4 in the morning just to get moving. I was in *that...

    I've been gluten-free for almost 3 weeks. I do feel better, but not much, and now I'm having some GI issues I didn't have before. So next step for me is to give up dairy. Do I need to eliminate all sources of milk, like casein etc. or since it's generally a lactose intolerance, will eliminating obvious dairy suffice?

    Yep, when I get a flare up it burns and itches like mad. I scratch, and the lesions erupt and crust and flake and then I'm left with this nasty patch of brownish skin in the area. I'm usually very pale, so it's pretty noticeable but luckily the discoloration fades quickly. At least until the next flare... Just out of curiosity, I had hubby do the skin...

    I've had this weird itchy rash that comes and goes on the inside of one elbow since shortly after my 2nd son was born, so almost 3 years now. I just chalked it up to eczema, even though I could never find a pic of eczema that looked anything like it. I started researching gluten free and I think I've finally found the answer with DH. Wow... my rash...

    I've been gluten-free for almost 2 weeks. I started gluten-free mainly due to my "arthritis" (not dx - joint pain in chest and feet) and because of my kids' teeth issues (and mine.) I've never had any significant gut issues that I'd pin on gluten. I have felt pretty good so far. My foot pain seems to have lessened, and I haven't had any chest pain....

    Took him in this morning. Dentist agreed to leave the 4 front teeth alone and did fillings in all 8 molars. DS did great with the sedation, except for kicking me in the face at one point. He's recovering now, still feeling a little woozy, and doesn't remember the dentist at all. I was expecting at least 2 crowns on those molars, plus 1-2 root canals...

    I was looking over his treatment plan last night, and also talked to him about which teeth are bothering him. I think I've decided we're going to leave the 4 front teeth alone. They are only just slightly pitted and DS says they're not bothering him at all, fillings or crowns at this point would be primarily cosmetic at this point IMO. Oh and two are chipped...

    Thanks for all the replies! What testing can we do now? We've only been gluten-free for a week but I can probably get him into the doc (his ped is great and will order any tests I feel he needs) next week. Re crowns - I have several myself, and I think I agree that fillings would be better. We think at least 1, possibly 2 teeth may need a pulpotomy...

    No panels yet. I decided to eliminate gluten and then found this site looking for recipes. I just noticed that the rash DS has had on his bum for months has cleared up completely, and my pain level has gone down considerably in the past few days. I think we're definitely on to something. Would there be any benefit to getting the panels aside from...

    We've just found out that my almost 5yo son needs 12 teeth filled or crowned. TWELVE! I knew he had a toothache, but oh man... We've just started on the gluten-free path primarily because of his teeth. I knew several needed work and I asked a friend who is very knowledgeable about nutrition what I could do to help his teeth, since it seems he...
