    She first thought they were mosquito bites, then hives from stress due to caring for her mom after she had a stroke. She's been slathering her rash with hydracortisone cream 3 times a day and refuses to talk to her doc about it. I brought up dh and celiacs and at first she was in utter denial but then told me she wen gluten free and the rash didn't itch...

    So our dermatologist appointment isn't until December . Her rash is in full swing again. It was looking pretty tame for a couple of weeks. The have been eating my moms cooking a lot and she uses gluten everything. She even throws it in where it isn't necessary at all. She's been under a lot of stress lately and has been complaining of a rash that...

    Thanks so much. I just have this feeling that something isn't right. I am not one to take my kids to the doc for any little thing. They go for well visits and and if there is something I can't fix they go in. Out of 5 kids we've had maybe 4 sick visits all together so far ( plus all the visits for one broken arm). I sometimes feel like a crazy person...

    I haven't had a single attack in 8 months by avoiding gluten. I was having constant attacks while following the gallbladder diet. I would think that if I truly had a ba gallbladder that I would be having a lot of attacks still? I eat very high fat now because in addition to being gluten free I also eat primal.( since about 6 months ago) So no processed...

    No one has been diagnosed. I suspect my dad has it. He's always had intestinal issues. He can't poop but every 3 days or so and that is while taking 8 tablespoons of Metamucil in water a day. Before that he only went every 7-10 days. He's always had a large bloated stomach, and always had constant gas. He also has very painful 'gallbladder' attacks...

    My 4 year old daughter is getting the testing for the rash. Unfortunately the appointment isnt until December 3rd. Apparently the dermatologist is very good/popular so the wait is long. I'm trying to document ever stage with pictures and a food journal. She has had the rash most of her life and as a baby was gluten free ( no rash) because of severe...

    I found some up close pics of when the rash was starting to go from barely there to worse. It's the only time I've gotten pics of fluid in the bumps. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a554/brightersideoflife1/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps77e5a16e.webp

    I'm just tying to see if it's normal toddler belly or not. I may just be paranoid
  9. norahsmommy
    What did it look like? My 2.5 year old has a big belly but you can see his ribs. He's small for his age too. He frequently points to his tummy and says 'hurts', but I can't find anything wrong. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a554/brightersideoflife1/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpscc1ef96f.webp Does this look like a normal toddler belly to you? He...

    I was looking at pics online and the red Shiny crease under her arm could be inverse psoriasis. But all the red dots that are raised don't look right for that skin condition. Maybe it's 2 different things going on? It's not under her other arm either and dh is supposed to affect both sides usually? Psoriasis needs a biopsy to diagnose too doesn't it...

    Good to know about the steroids. We occasionally use hydracortisone cream on our daughter. I haven't for about 3 weeks because I was actually hoping her rash would be really bad ( horrible I know) when she went to the doc so they would take me seriously.
  12. norahsmommy
    Thank you! I think I already read most of this stuff. I want to be well versed in this skin issue. I just can imagine what else it could be. It has been there under her arm and down her side for years! It's not just her I'm worried about. We have 5 kids and my oldest fell off her weight and height curve completely. She went from the 25th percentile...

    Does it have to be a biopsy or can it be a skin scraping? How do I convince the derm to do a biopsy? I'm sure they will just want to do a scraping.
  14. norahsmommy
    Thanks for the Reply. Does it look like dh? I think this is what it is and the nurse practitioner we saw today that gave us the referral to the derm thought that's wha it looks like too. I felt practically giddy that someone listened. The np said the dermatologist would do a skin scraping, is that the same as a biopsy? I always thought a biopsy was...

    <iframe width="480" height="360" src="Open Original Shared Link I think I figured this out. These are pics of my daughters rash. If you click the link nothing seems to come up but if you click the view albums button in the upper right corner you can see the pics.

    My 4 year old has had this spotty and itchy rash most Of her life. It is never completely gone but ranges from barely there to horrible. It's always in the same place too. I'm finally getting a dermatologist to look at it. Her docs kept saying it's a yeast rash or exema but none of the creams help. Hydracortisone cream makes it a little tiny bit better...

    My inlaws got the girls a set of nail polish for easter. It is water based and rubs off on everything. They repainted 3 times just today. So obviously it will get in someones mouth at some time. I can't find if its gluten free. All it says on the bottles is Disney with pics of princesses on it and then on the back it says, manufactured 2010 Creative Designs...

    Is boudreaux butt paste gluten free? I use cloth diapers and rarely have a need for rash cream, but my daughter had a horrid rash and I started putting this on it. She got some on her hands and of course immediately put her hand in her mouth. Is it gluten free? I am having trouble finding this out.

    I have alot of problems when glutened. They got REALLY bad early this year. I was not gluten free at that time and I was depressed and visualizing cutting myself whenever I held or walked past anything sharp. I was also starting to hear and see things that weren't real and had a very high level of anxiety. It gradually got better after a few months of...

    WHAT! Damn it! Sorry, I am just miffed. I have been having the most horrid, tear inducing heartburn. I feel like I have some sort of ulcer or giant sore in there that is buring its way through my esophogas. I have been trying to figure out the source of my glutening and wondering if this is even a symptom of glutening or if I just have some sort of horrible...

    I was reading something and it said that in America 20 ppm is not the standard 'yet' for gluten free, that it currently is 100 parts ppm or less. there is a HUGE difference between 20 and 100ppm! Has anyone else heard this yet? Oh and that they can lable something gluten free so long as the ingredients are 'naturally' gluten free, even though the product...

    My daughter was having perfect daily or every other day bm's for the last couple of months. That was so great after months and months of horrifying constipation, white poop, bloody poop, weird textured poop. We have been so dang careful! My inlaws went gluten free as well, supposedly totally. My FIL thinks he has gluten intolerance so is giving gluten-free...

    eating nothing but the pre-packaged gluten-free foods can and probably will make you gain weight. But eating alot of packaged foods gluten free or otherwise is likely to make you fat! Its not gluten-free foods doing it, its eating too much of the wrong things. We learned this fast and have transitioned to cooking with ALOT more veggies and desserts usually...

    I haven't tested my theory by giving her gluten. I can't bring myself to do it. I think either she has been off it so long that now she can eat dairy and soy ok, or she can process it better because she is older now (17 months).

    I watched his show today. Parts were interesting and parts just urked me to no end! They had a gluten free 'expert' on there and he showed some nice healthy alternative meals for gluten free and mentioned some of the symptoms of gluten intolerance. Then they had a nutritionist on who basically showed all the poorest examples of gluten-free foods with the...
