    Happy, healthy New Year, Girl!! IH

    This is exactly how the DH on my fingers looked and felt. Itchy, clear, tiny skin colored blisters that pop and then hurt like the devil. I later developed much more severe DH on my face and back of my neck. I've read of other's whose DH started like this too. You are right to be concerned and gluten free. Especially since it seemed to go away when you were...

    OMG Love2Travel, that little description of cuisine makes me want to start cooking again. You are amazing.

    Oh cool! Thank you! And just to update you all about how careful I was not to ingest gluten and avoided the canned chicken broth. I then proceeded to gluten myself by eating Palmer's chocolate peanut clusters. No gluten ingredients. Says may contain tree nuts or peanuts. (which I took to mean would not contain traces of wheat) Not True! Um anyway, I ate them...

    Check your gallbladder. For sure tell your Dr. since you are pregnant. But yes, this is totally consistent with a Celiac gluten reaction.

    If pork is what the kid will eat then I would make a pork butt roast in the crockpot overnight the day before your leave. Then you can let it cool and make pulled prok from it. Get some barbeque sauce and when you shred the pork, dicard the fat and Wa La!!! Yum. You put it back in the crock pot and then plug it in to warm it when you go to the nursing home...

    I had severe acne all my life. Accutane twice, antibiotics constantly for 25 years...and still had severe acne. THEN I developed the true DH rash. The skin form of Celiac. Stinging, hurting, burning, itching, weeping, lesions. It took 7 years to figure out it was DH. And guess what? When I went gluten free, the acne disappeared. It is worth a try. I also...

    I like your suggestion though, and I will try to find that. It sounds great! I know you are in Canada right? I hope we have it in the US!

    Thanks for saying that Love2Travel. I sometimes think I'm sounding like a whacko when I implicate or suspect salicylates for others. So I appreciate your comment. I might add that I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and they told me to take Ibuprofen every 4 hours. I gained an enormous amount of weight, had muscle wasting, fatigue and heart palpitations...

    The red flag for me is the baby aspirin. You may be sensitive to salicylates or allergic to aspirin and not know it. It can cause fatigue, bone and muscle pain because it can interfere with your calcium and metabolism...but only if you are not able to metabolize it. It also disturbs sleep. I was very sick for a long time and took Ibuprofen for the leg pain...

    /celiac-disease/gluten-free-alcoholic-beverages-r218/ I don't drink much but when I do it is something from this list. Good luck!

    I would do it. I use my coffee grinder for flax seeds all the time. I don't think it would break it. But I've never done beans or rice so who knows? Many people use their coffee grinder for grinding spices so I don't think the beans and rice would be any different.

    You guys are great!!! I always use Kitchen Basics and love it. Jestgar-The canned chicken broth I have from Campbells is the low sodium kind. No gluten ingredients but it isn't on their gluten free list so I am going to assume shared lines and donate it to the food bank. Thanks everyone! And thanks for the number Ravenwood! It just...

    Campbell's Canned Chicken Broth- The ingredients look safe, but because most Campbells soups have gluten in them I never buy it. However, I'm sick and a friend brought me this brand. I googled trying to find out if it is safe or if anyone has had problems. It doesn't appear to be on Campbell's gluten free list. Only the Swanson brand is. So I'm a bit confused...

    YOur daughter should be very careful about eating in the cafeteria at all even if they have gluten free choices. The fact that they use flour in the kitchen means gluten flies all over the place. You might see if she can get accomodations to be able to cook her own food. But there are some nightmare posts on here about people trying to get colleges to accomodate...

    If it is wood, there is almost no way to get it clean of gluten unless you want to sand it down to a new layer of wood. If it is plastic and has cut scars on it, gluten can hide in there. I kept my frypan because I thought heck I can clean that thing. But weeks of reactions later I decided all the expert folks here were right. If you have Celiac, you need...

    Yes, Celiac can cause burning sensations on the skin. Other things can too. If it is the skin form of Celiac called Dermatitis Herpetiformis one often has the burning sensation before the rash breaks out in the area that is affected. Have you ever gotten a rash? Or hive-like reaction? or watery blisters? or mosquito bite like lesions? If so you might consider...

    It should be gluten free, but if you are having trouble with it, you might have an allergy to citrus, or your villi might not be able to handle it yet. Weird things happen with many different foods in the process of healing the Celiac digestive tract.

    Ah!! I just saw this post! Yes, the benzocaine works great I'm so happy it is working for others too. Walgreens Brand of Pain Relieving Ointment is 20% Benzocaine the strongest you can get over the counter. If Orajel works that's great too! And if I planted a subliminal message that is pretty cool too! Anything that will help another DH sufferer is worth...

    Yeah, um, they keep saying DH is rare in children but if you are one of the children with it it's miserable. Should have diagnosed my son and myself long ago with DH, but the literature said it is rare in children and he was 7 and it also said DH rarely occurs on the face. Mine is on my face. Fast forward about 10 miserable years and we both have Celiac....

    I have severe anxiety and depression if I have been glutened. All the years I was sick the Dr.'s couldn't figure out why depression medication did not work for me. None of them worked. It was gluten. Anyway having said that, I found Xanax very helpful for those gluten anxiety attacks like you are describing. I take a very low dose only when I have those episodes...

    I had anger issues too. Internal seething anger for no reason at all...and sometimes (cringe) anger outbursts for no reason at all. All gone when gluten free.
  25. eatmeat4good
    My son did that from age 7 to 15 when he went gluten free and it went away. Teachers called it attention deficit disorder, or daydreaming. I knew it wasn't good, but could not figure out what caused it or what to do about it. I would also do the same thing. I knew mine seemed to be spacing out in a depressive sort of way. All of it was related to gluten....
