    Every time I thought I was hitting a plateau in healing and just not getting better, I eventually found a source of gluten CC. The last time, I started feeling so tired and fatigued after work...just like when this all hit. I had to go to bed right after eating. Well, after several weeks of fatigue, I realized I had been warming my tea in a microwave that...

    I started walking with a slight gait, almost imperceptible. That progressed to having to actually think about every step I took or I would bump into walls. When it got really bad, I fell in the shower,and often fell while walking. Sometimes I had to crawl up the stairs. I had the creepy crawling sensations, could not stand to be touched, had nighttime paralysis...

    Do your breakfast places use flour to make pancakes and such? If they do, then flour can easily settle on the grill where your hashbrowns are made. I gave up eating where they use actual flour to make things from scratch. I was getting sick eating out so I realized this had to be it for me. Since I gave up eating out I have only been glutened one time...

    Lot of soap and water and rinsing and treating your counters and drawers like they have had radioactive waste in them. Incidentally just so you know, hand sanitizers do nothing to get rid of gluten. I made the mistake of using hand sanitizer after handing out cookies to kids at church...then ate my food. I posted here after I was glutened and was kindly...

    I had fluid retention and swollen face and eyes for several weeks. I'm not sure if it was vitamin deficiency related or the fact that I started absorbing better and my body was hanging on to every drop of water and nutrition for dear life. Those were my thoughts at the time. I noticed it subsided gradually on it's own. I still get the swollen eyelids from...

    There are a few threads on kissing here on celiac.com. put kissing in the search. I have been glutened by kissing someone after they ate gluten. Most people recommend gluten eaters brush before kissing Celiac partners. You have to decide. I didn't really believe kissing could gluten me. I was rewarded with a huge migraine headache and nausea and D that...

    The Cetaphil lotion has gluten in it. If it is DH this will not be helping things. There is only one kind of cetaphil product that does not have gluten and it is marked for sensitive skin. There is a Cetaphil thread on here somewhere. I have sometimes thought that zyrtec helped with my DH, but that was before I knew what it was. It tends to flare and...

    Yes, I found it on thyca.com The lining of canned goods contains iodine. Canned goods should be avoided on a low iodine diet. You might need to consider lowering your iodine as iodine can keep your DH active. Open Original Shared Link

    I too, have DH. It took me a year and half to heal. When I was researching the way to limit iodine, I read about avoiding canned goods. I wasn't sure if it was because of the salt used in canned goods or something about the canning process itself, but I noticed my DH reacted to canned goods so I dropped all of them. Now I only use tomato paste that is...

    Just wanted to mention it is common to have an outbreak after skin has been damaged like the burn you described on your arm. I read that in the DH archives here. Many times the trauma to the skin can cause DH to recur according to what others have experienced. Also, sometimes my DH would form a line. I have linear excoriations on my forehead from the linear...

    I hope you post back if the scabies medicine works for you. If it doesn't work, just go ahead and consider it DH so you can get better. I was diagnosed with a bunch of different things from bacteria to fungus to herpetic whitlow. None of it was true. I realized it was DH from reading here. It is gone now. One and a half years to heal, but it is...

    I would keep my children gluten free as long as they lived in my home. I well remember as a child feeling spacey, shaky, weak, anxious, nervous and having a stomach ache all the time. It was normal to me and I thought everyone felt that way, they just handled it better than I did. When I did complain of feeling ill, sick to my stomach or stayed home from...

    All at one time is going to make her feel a lot better a lot faster. It will be hard at first, but if she is reacting to all those things then ingesting them will only make her continue to have problems. Incidentally, my son would almost only eat gluten when we realized that was his problem. I too stuggled with what on earth to feed him since he was already...

    I would suspect the gluten contamination from living with a gluten eater. I have been gluten free for a year and a half. I was terribly ill for several years before diagnosis. I did amazingly well recovering but it did take a while. Recently I started having inflammation and fatigue and then swollen eyes and muscle weakness and feeling lousy overall...

    Ha! You found it! Thank you thank you! Fig Newtons were so good.

    You are probably reacting to cc now. Your gluten lite diet helped keep from getting super sick. But now the antibodies are in the skin and the DH rash develops. I had DH for years without knowing what it was. It is terrible..just as you describe. Doesn't have to be watery but if you keep eating gluten it can become that way Mine started as bug bite...

    Grains. Better yet grains and sugar. give them both up and you will lose weight and feel great. Mark's Daily Apple.com if you don't want to buy a primalbook. All the information is there. Down from 180 to 110 and loving every minute of it. DH/Celiac gluten free for one year and half. Grain free for 6 months.

    Often DH biopsies negative. Takes a long time to heal. DH can occur anywhere on the body so it is not surprising that it is moving. It also comes and goes. Or it comes and stays. You will have to be very strict on the gluten free and you may have to limit iodine to heal the rash completely. Symmetrical too? DH will make you crazy...but you are putting...
  20. eatmeat4good
    Yes, it could be. I used to get these pinpoint tiny bumps that itched like bug bites but were not red like the pictures of DH. They lasted a few days then healed, incidentally it was usually after I baked bread and had been kneading the dough. Little did I know that several years later it would re-appear in the angry red blistery condition of DH only this...

    I had it on my wrists too...and my face...and my calves...and my back...and the back of my neck...and by far the worst is to have it on your face. But,yes, you can have it on your wrists. Glad you are going gluten free. The rash tends to be very sensitive to traces of gluten and the flares can last a long time. Iodine may need to be limited for healing...

    Does anybody have a way of making Fig Newtons? Or some version of them?? I so loved them.
  23. eatmeat4good
    This isn't a real recipe, but it IS a way to save money and "make your own". I loved the chocolate covered pretzels by Glutino but, my god, they are $6 for a tiny bag! Sooo one day I made my own. Here is the Recipe. Glutino Plain Pretzels (one large bag is $7) Dove Milk Chocolates Dove Dark Chocolates Melt the chocolate in a bowl...

    Well, it's not top of the line, but I ate Palmer's chocolate covered peanuts and it said may contain traces of peanut or treenut. No mention of wheat. I ate them. I figured they would have a statement if it could contain traces of wheat. But no. Nothing. I got soooo sick. After I came out of hell, I googled and sure enough, they have the "may contain traces...

    But maybe they are busy reading other threads...
