    Hi, Welcome. I can relate to what you are feeling and it does feel like a different world. I too, get sad watching the Food Network now. I wish they would do a show on Gluten Free cooking as many people would find out they have this. I want to comment on your last paragraph. Gluten can make you have balance issues and "feel crazy". It may be a bit...

    I have DH on my face. This is my fourth month gluten free. I have been avoiding iodine and all fish and the sores were almost all healed. I really don't miss the salt. I really do miss the fish. So today, I ate crawfish tails reasoning that they weren't an ocean fish so it might be ok? Wrong. Within 2 hours I have the pain and swelling in all the sores and...

    There is an ointment that I use for the itch and pain. It is Walgreens brand of Pain Relieving Ointment which contains only Benzocaine but helps a great deal. Also, the literature says the rash will take 6 months to 2 years to heal on a strict gluten free diet. I have read that others improve more rapidly. I am on the fourth month and still have sores...

    The only thing I know of in the meat dept. that might contain gluten is the imitation Krabmeat.

    I have had them start like that. Mosquito bite-like. It could be a lesion beginning but if you don't get any more gluten maybe it won't make an oozy blister rash. I will be interested to hear what happens. Sorry about the gluten meal. It sucks knowing that you will be in for it. I hope it goes away soon. I use Walgreens brand of Pain Relieving Ointment. It...

    You can always wash it off before you cook it if you want to. I do that.

    That has been my biggest relief on going gluten free: Finding out that the internal angst, underlying sense of despair, and a grief-stricken sense of loss for no reason have all gone away. Anxiety no longer happens unless I get glutened.

    This is my new best friend too. I can't wait to come here every nite and see how others are doing. I was sick for so long. 4 months into it and I almost feel normal. It is miraculously amazing to me and I look forward to the rest of my life and dovorce the last 7. It sounds like you are on the right track. Hang in there and good luck.

    That is so wonderful! You had a good experience with a Dr. Marry him! Marry Him! If you can't do that, at least tell him how wonderful he is for covering all the bases for you and for following up on all the avenues. I have never met a Dr. like that. I had 26 Dr.s and not one of them would consider anything but depression inspite of the sores and the fact...

    Takala? Will you please go to the Dr. with me?

    I found all of these posts very informative. To the OP: I cannot say for certain that it is gluten related, but I had three wiry little devil hairs on my chin and they are not there anymore!

    I would vote yes yes and yes. It all fits. Even if you test negative for Celiac, as you wrote, it could be gluten intolerance. IF it is, then the reason you haven't had relief is the on again off again wheat allergy you have been treating. I hope you get tested quickly and you can go off gluten and then start avoiding cc also. Once it is all out of your system...

    I do use Udi's bread, but find that I don't crave or want bread very often. It is more of a once a week treat now. My son also is gluten free and as a teen went through several loaves the first 2 weeks, however, he too, has less desire for bread and is content to eat his burgers alone. We are moving toward grain free, but those tortilla chips are a life...

    Oh my god...that's why iron does that to me too! That is ridiculous. Why do they put that in iron. Probably cause most people get Constipated from iron? What kind of iron next?

    Gluten Intolerance is not something that shows up on tests, yet it can be every bit as debilitating as Celiac in terms of health symptoms and poor quality of life. Just go gluten free and take your children with you. Leave your Dr. in his office. He isn't helping. Find another Dr. and have the vitamin levels of the children checked and yours too...

    I don't have any gluten free friends either. I tried eating in restaurants, but it is too risky. Most of the time I get sick and when I do it lasts a week. It is also distressing to think of never eating out again. So I am in no man's land right now. No man may cook for me. Only eat my own food and I'm scared to do that! It's like doing a science...

    I didn't see gluten on the list. So first, give yourself credit for that. You are trying to eliminate a whole lot of things at once and that is difficult no matter how necessary it is. When we try to make drastically big changes, no one is perfect all the time. You do have to keep trying, but remember that we develop habits over a lifetime and it takes many...

    I have only been at this 4 months but still have my sores. They are way less intensely itchy painful though. Wow, I hope yours clears up fast like Ravenwood Glass did. I don't know what your Dr. would say about it, but when the pain is bad, I use Walgreens brand of Pain Relieving Ointment which is Benzocaine. It numbs the pain and doesn't bother the sores...

    I was never tested because they thought they knew by looking at my rash. Anyway, to answer your question about the biopsy, it is my understanding that the biopsy has to be taken from clear skin next to the lesion to obtain the antibodies. That is where they are. So a biopsy of the lesion itself will not be positive. Another point is that gluten free...

    Swelling of the face, fingers and belly were the first symptoms I noticed. My rings were tighter, my jeans were tighter and my eyelids were swollen. I never knew what it was from. I was aware I was swollen but when I gained 20 pounds in two weeks I was shocked and appalled. Then it happened again a few months later. This "weight gain" was not normal for me...

    I wonder too. Thanks for asking. My sores are flaring too. Been using lemon in water and lemon instead of salt.

    Oh my God!!! That was my very favorite candy! Thank you for being a creative genious.

    My first sores were very much one tiny very painful spot. Mosquito bite looking. Took forever to heal. That one would heal and another would appear. Later got one large spot on leg...same pain...same took forever to heal. That one took one year. Later outbreak on face. Several small painful spots that grew larger as the glutening went on and before the diagnosis...
