    DH is very difficult to diagnose unless you are one of the lucky ones who walk in to a dermatologist and they say "Oh that is DH." There are a couple of people here who were that lucky. I wasn't one of them. My DH was atypical in appearance, so you cannot always rely on the pictures or the tests. The telling thing is the severe itchiness that is worse at...

    Soy is literally poison in my opinion. IrishHeart don't feel bad for being a Soy Hater. The only way people will find out is if us Soy Haters talk and spread the word. I would never have known to try eliminating soy if it weren't for you guys on this cite. Also, I would never have known soy could cause severe and profound and almost immediate symptoms...

    I'm so happy for you Nate! Wow! A whole team of Dr.'s with the good one at the top of them. It sounds like you have had such a struggle. You must feel really good at least being in capable hands. As to your steroid question, I was on 5 mg. of prednisone for a few months when they knew I had an autoimmune disease but didn't know which one. At first I felt...

    Yes, I love that story on their website. It made them start offering gluten free stuff and they have quite a selection. I would try all of it if I could. So far, just tried flours and nuts but next time I'm trying their chocolate...and you let me know how their corn grits are too OK? The only thing that confused me is they have wheat grass powder in...

    Unfortunately me too- had to remove dairy AND soy. Didn't do it right away since getting rid of gluten was hard enough but I sure wish I had. Would have healed sooner. But in the end figured it out. I hope you do too. I personally allow a little soy lecithin like in chocolate once a week, and I don't seem to notice ill effects, but I am going to get the Enjoy...

    Yes, I'm glad it happened too for your sake. I recall you were worried you would have no symptoms, but the fatigue that hit you so hard this time was a good sign that gluten will get you even in tiny amounts. So now you know that you will know! AND the fatigue that plagues you daily...you described it as somewhat milder but constant state of tiredness. Well...

    Welcome to the forum! It sounds like you just conducted your own testing. And the result is you are gluten intolerant. If you are that miserable already, I cannot imagine how you will get to the final test date unless it is that important to you. You have already done a lot of homework and testing of your intolerances. You know what your body needs and...

    I use Elana's recipe AND I have used Bob's Red Mill Almond flour with no problems. I know she says all her recipes don't work with his flour but they do. In my opinion. There may be some texture differences but they taste good. Unless you were referring to the fact that Celiacs say they react to Bob's Red Mill flours. In that case, I guess you would just...

    It will be hard, but you can do it. You sound very determined to get your health back and I applaud your spirit. I bet you Dollars to Donuts you will feel way way better soon!

    Yes, you should go gluten free. Yes, all your symptoms could be Celiac. Yes, if you keep eating it you can cause further damage. Yes, Stomach ulcers and gallbladder problems are symptoms of celiac disease. You should join the ranks of us who are self-diagnosed and give the diet a good strict try. You should get a thyroid test since thyroid problems...

    It just depends on the person. Some vomit violently immediately and some get migraine headaches and fatigue for 3 days. Some symptoms are gastrointestinal and those can be immediate or delayed too. Some never get symptoms at all. But I want to speak to your last comment, and NO all your work has not been in vain. You are still healing and you may get...

    Me too. I cry when someone speaks to me even in love and concern. I find everything profoundly sad when I am glutened.

    NutsOnline has Certified Gluten Free Corn Grits! Ah! But you prolly knew I would say that! I dont' know if that is what you want, but they do test. I never get sick from their stuff, but I have not tried their grits yet.

    The only concern I can see is that if you are Celiac and not absorbing them very well due to damage in your intestines, you will start absorbing them VERY well on going gluten free. I had this happen. My anti-depressants were increased to unbelievable doses due to unresponsive depression, (the Dr.'s were raising their eyebrows at the maximum doeses not working...

    You got a HUGE dose of gluten from that bottle even though you wiped it off. It got in the water and you drank it. Huge dose of gluten = huge reaction like you had. It takes some incidents like this to realize cross contamination is serious. I handed cookies to my sister's kids then used hand sanitizer AND wiped my hands...then ate my "safe" food with...

    It can take time to heal and if you get accidentally glutened you can get all those symptoms back unfortunately. It could also be soy. It does terrible things. I'm glad your Dr. is following up on other options. Try to be very strict with your diet and know that it can just take time. It isn't easy to be patient especially when you don't feel well. I hope...

    I read through the archives of DH and learned that yes, it seems to happen to some people, that they get their first outbreak of DH AFTER going gluten free. I cannot say whether your rash is DH or not, but the blistery rash does make one suspicious that it could be DH. If it is, you could get it biopsied next to the lesions on clear skin and that is considered...

    Make sure your medications are gluten free. That could keep you very sick. I hope you feel better soon, but go to the ER if you cannot stay hydrated due to the D and vomiting. It can be very serious.
  19. eatmeat4good
    I think you have found the right place and you should be very hopeful about your future health! All of the things you describe are very, very common for those with Celiac/Gluten Intolerance. It is really horrifying when your own family thinks you are hypochondriac. I was there too. Nevermind what people say. You need to find out what is going on with your...

    I just wanted to share this link on Carageenan. I initially started avoiding it because of the iodine content in the red seaweed it is derived from. But the more I read, the more I think it could be causing as much illness as soy. She advocates soy milk at the end of the article and I DO NOT agree that soy is safe at all. But it is interesting to look at...

    Hi and welcome! All of your list of symptoms are consistent with Celiac/Gluten Intolerance. Many people have written about the coated tongue being gluten related and it is not necessarily Candida/yeast. I had that symptom for years and they gave me the Nystatin swish and swallow medicine and it never worked. It went away within a month of being gluten...

    That is hilarious Bill!!! You are probably the only Celiac on here that doesn't miss real live Pizza!
  23. eatmeat4good
    Thank you for saying that. I have wondered if anyone else used them and if they were happy. I sure am. I have ordered many times now and I love their list of certified gluten free baking supplies. I have never gotten sick and now it is my Go To source for nuts and treats..trying the hempseed and chia seeds too! Many fun things there, but I bought too much...

    A croissant with butter. I have both nightmares and dreams about them.

    Well we already know he is "Gluten Intolerant" but seriously, I was thinking today that he prolly is Celiac and has been getting glutened constantly at work and doesn't know his horrible moods and irritability are stemming from his undiagnosed Celiac/Gluten Intolerance....and he is having the neurological symptoms I get...irritability with everyone and...
