    It depends on the person. Most who cannot tolerate soy find that they can tolerate soy lecithin. But there are others who cannot tolerate either. It's trial and error. Leader makes a vitamin D supplement that is non soy so that is what I take.

    I tried zinc oxide and it did nothing for me either. Try Benzocaine ointment over the counter...Walgreens makes one called Pain Relieving Ointment and it works temporarily for the burning stinging itching pain of DH. Do you eat eggs or dairy? Both can be high in iodine. Are you following the thyca.com low iodine diet to minimize iodine? I ask because they...

    A couple of others have reported paprika problems recently. Nightshades were the cause for one, and only paprika was the intolerance for the other who could eat potatoes.

    Some people can tell an immediate difference like in a matter of days they are certain this was their problem. Others take more like months and really can't tell much difference and go through a bad time with withdrawal symptoms where they feel absolutely lousy on going gluten free. Others take more like years to recover. But even long term undiagnosed Celiac...

    I've been considering trying them, ever since you posted that if they were taken away from you we would see a grown man cry. I took that as a pretty good Hot Dog recommendation. I haven't had a hot dog in a long time but seeing your raving about them sure makes me want one, and since I'm Paleo/Primal they would be on my list! They prolly cost $95 a...

    Your baby doesn't feel well at all every single day and he is having Celiac symptoms and there is a family history of Celiac and still the Dr. thinks this is a coincidence? I'm speechless. Do yourself, your family and your baby a favor and take the baby off of gluten. That will be your test. I would guess that you will be changing less diapers and sleeping...

    Yes, I definitely agree with declining any and all food except maybe pre-packaged gluten free. I don't trust anyone without Celiac to grasp the concept of cross contamination no matter how well intentioned they are. They would use their gluteny pans to cook your gluten free food. I usually tell them that if they have ever used wheat flour in their kitchen...

    Yes it is possible for Celiac disease to be triggered by environmental factors or stressful events. I think you are dealing with more than gluten intolerance. I think you should get tested for Celiac. Tell your Dr. you want a full Celiac Panel done and see what results. Even if it is negative, you should go gluten free. Your body clearly does not...

    Ask for a full Celiac Panel blood test. All of your symptoms are consistent with Celiac. It is an autoimmune disease and allergy testing won't pick it up. If they don't agree to test you, go gluten free and see if it helps. I know how miserable it is to want answers and not be able to get them. I hope you will feel better soon.

    Yeah conventional wisdom isn't with us yet. It's still SAD (Standard American Diet) that has people believing they can't survive without grain. I know the drill -plenty of whole grains. Yeah,um... not for all of us. I feel like crap on plenty of whole grains and I need naps too. Tell your personal trainer to check out Mark's Daily Apple and you will see many...

    The reaction can last anywhere from a few days, to a few weeks, to a few months. DH can be sensitive to iodine which can cause the antibodies to remain active in the skin. you may have to limit iodine in order to heal. If you find that you do have to limit iodine, Thyca.com is the low iodine diet. You can use regular salt and stop using iodized salt to see...

    It's very healthy. There are plenty of carbs in vegetables and fruits. It's not a total carnivore diet, we do eat nuts, fruits and vegetables, and good fats. From my experience when I don't get enough protein I crave grain carbs bad..and when I eat grain carbs ...I crave them even more. What you are saying is a very common reaction for people to have before...

    I am so happy for you Andi! It sounds like you are well on your way! So glad Paleo is working out for you! It makes a huge difference when I "fall off the wagon." I think you are in good hands now with your Dr. and I am really glad you got some help for the anxiety. Thanks for the update cause it's really nice to know how things are coming along...

    Oh yeah, I still don't do seafood due to the iodine. I'm chicken to try it. Did have shrimp over New Year's and it did a real number on my DH, so I think I may be "all done" with seafood, but I handle milk products and eggs now with no problems.
  15. eatmeat4good
    I have DH too and did not heal until I got the iodine as minimal as I possibly could. That is a very limiting diet so I "tested" it every month or so to see if I could add it back. For me, it was several months AFTER the healing before I could tolerate iodine without breaking out. The outbreaks were minor compared to a gluten outbreak, but I would suggest...

    If that is true I think it is terrible. It seems to defy the point of a biopsy...to look under the microscope. Wow. Thank you for sharing that.
  17. eatmeat4good
    I am very happy for you! I, too, remember my "light bulb moment" on this very site 2 years ago. I had been sick with all the boxes you ticked and it was a wonderful feeling to find out that there was actually a disease that matched all the symptoms! That meant healing was possible! I am thrilled for you that you will be watching all of those symptoms...

    I like all the answers you got here. I feel a little paranoid around little kids too. Nobody gets kisses from me except "air kisses"! I agree with all of what was said and I especially like Pricklypear's suggestion to have the kids learn to just wash up when they are around you or your puppy. It makes perfect sense if they are old enough to understand...

    The biopsy can show damage not seen with the scope. Microscopic damage is looked for and much more is visible to them. It is entirely possible and I've seen it reported here that no damage was visible by the Dr. but the pathologist was able to see it. So you could still be positive. They are supposed to take 6 biopsies though as the Celiac damage can be...
  20. eatmeat4good
    Yes, you could be dealing with Cross Contamination and/or withdrawal. No, companies are not required to label for the possibility of cross contamination. They are required to list if wheat is included in the ingredients...meaning intentionally put into a product. (In the USA) But this says nothing at all about cross contamination, or if they manufacture...

    Many people have reported having corn as one of their secondary intolerances after giving up gluten. You can do a search here by entering Corn intolerance in the search bar/box. I have read many threads on this subject. I'm sure you will get replies from current members who are reacting to corn, but wanted you to know that you are not the only one and...

    Hey, no offense taken about the Aunt thing at all! I just wanted to let you know that us Aunts can get pretty pushy with our nieces if we think they are Celiac! Well intentioned of course, since it is hereditary. Wish you luck, feel free to ask more questions when you have them.
  23. eatmeat4good
    Perhaps the staph infection is a DH rash, the skin form of Celiac called Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I hope they have cultured the rash and know that they are in fact treating Staph and that it isn't DH. But if it is DH, then you should know that even very tiny traces of gluten will cause it to remain active. And some with DH need to limit iodine since it can...

    ARCHIVED Beer?

    eatmeat4good replied to bossley's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I think you should make your "whole foods" diet your very own version...and have a gluten free beer if you want to! You're only messing up if you think you are. People try to eat mostly only whole foods but everyone likes to indulge from time to time. As long as you are not ingesting gluten I wouldn't worry too much about it. Stress isn't good for you!! Have...

    Not all of us are "properly" diagnosed with Celiac disease. If she was feeling ill and exhibiting the symptoms of Celiac her aunt may have "helped" her by telling her about Celiac. I told my sister and she has a child with symptoms who didn't test positive but feels better off of wheat. Therefore, that child is self-diagnosed because her aunt told her about...
