    ARCHIVED I Am Miserable

    casnco posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    I am miserable to tears. I have the worst case of DH where there is no sunshine. I have been to the doctor a zillion times. She will give me anything I ask for but she doesn't have any suggestions of her own. I am allergic to sulfa drugs and Dapson is a sulfa drug. So I read somewhere that tetracycline could be used also. So I asked for a course of...

    ARCHIVED Dapson

    casnco posted a topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    I need help before I develope wounds from scratching!!!! How quickly does the Dapson work? What are the side affects? I have an appointment tomorrow with doctor so I need help quick! Has anyone taken steroids for the itching?

    NO, NO, NO!!! I work in a hospital and I know for a fact the dietary department has absolutly no clue what gluten free means. I have been taking care of a Celiac patient for a MONTH!!! She just cant seem to get better. Yesterday, after I was off for 5 days I gave her her nourishment for the day. The dietician had sent up grahm crackers, yogert, and a...

    Has anyone had any problems with breathing that is associated with the Celiac disease? I am just curious. Someone asked me that recently and I told them not yet

    Ryan, Alex is lucky to have you watching out for her. I believe this is normal in the hospital. I work at a large metropolitan hospital in Ohio. Recently a patient was transfered to our floor and her history and physical mentioned she had Celiac disease. No big red sign, no mention on her wrist band. So when her tray came that morning I made sure I took...

    Everytime I call about yogurt I get the same answer. Only the natural, no flavor is guarenteed to be gluten freel

    The times I have read the package label I have always found my favorite term "natural flavoring" I always get stumped on that terminology. I just dont want to get sick. I am just getting over my Christmas accidental glutening. Don't want to start all over.

    Now that is an interesting receipe. Do you serve it like soup? Also, I am not sure I have ever seen corned beef in a can in Ohio. I usually buy it as a roast style piece of meat. I love new dishes to make so I am going to look for canned corn beef on my next shopping trip. Thanks again.

    Does anyone know if corned beef is safe? It is time for some Irish food and I love Corned beef and cabbage. Thanks, Debbie

    ARCHIVED Beware!

    casnco replied to pugluver31902's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    OMG!!! I didn't know iodine was a problem! Sorry you had such a bad reaction. My skin itches for you! Thanks for the heads up. You have probably saved me months of missery and lots of money! I agree with you about the medical bracelet. Just wish they were more stylish. I know style shouldn't matter when it comes to such an important issue, but I am...

    I made this cake for christmas and my sons birthday. What a hit. Everyone asked for the recipie. I use 7up or a generic. I also like the sugar free version to cut calories. I also don't like things super sweet. I ust Pamela's pancake mix for the gluten-free flour. Good luck! We love this cake.

    Carla: Interesting suggestion. Anyone else have a comment on having someone else rinse your hair? Do you think that the gluten remains on the hair shaft even after rinsing? I have been experienceing trouble with CC and was afraid it was my hair color. So I stopped getting my hair colored at the salon and started using Natural Insticts. It is gluten...

    JayT, I am definitely interested. Can you give some details? Are looking for help planning or just participants? I have been to wine tastings at Whole Foods which were nice, but all of the appetizers were loaded with gluten. I would love to participate in a cooking class but have never ventured to do so because of the gluten issue. So let me know what...

    HATE Arrowhead! Gross! just not light and fluffy. Sorry my only recommendation is Pamela's. I LOVE them. They are light and fluffy. My sister in law and her grandchildren went out and bought the mix after I served them for Christmas Brunch.

    Sorry your DH is such a dog! I don't allow any gluten in my house with one exception. I let them have gluten containing cereal. But I told them if they dont rinse their own dish, clean the sink and put the dish in the dishwasher they will be eating cornmeal mush and nutty rice with me!

    ARCHIVED Roux

    casnco replied to casnco's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    Thanks everyone for your input. I have made gravies with corn starch. Pretty basic. Although I have always liked my gravies with flour. I used to make potatoe soup with a flour roux and I just wasnt sure about corn starch with that. I am also trying to avoid substituting so much corn products in my diet. I guess I wasn't aware that bean flour had an...

    Oh yes! I don't have GH so I was rather concerned when this started! Found an unusual topical cream. Calmoseptic. Your pharmasist must order it. Very weird, it has menthol in it. I was skeptical at first. This isnt an area I want menthol! But it helps stop the itch. Give it a try. By the way, do have a good remedy for the itch. I know to stay away...

    ARCHIVED Roux

    casnco posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    Does anyone have a good substitute for making a Roux?
  22. casnco
    Okay, here are my favorites. I have been gluten-free for 3 yrs. I never started baking until this Christmas so this is what I have found so far. #1 Buy a mix or make it yourself for 90% of these things. *Best Bread = Pamelas Bread and Pizza mix *Best Pasta = Tinkyinada *Best Pizza = Mine made with Pamala's Mix for the crust *Best Rolls = Pamelas...

    Man, mine varies depending on what I have been contaminated with. Most of my glutenings these days are cross contamination. But I can tell you that recently I have been waking in the middle of the night. That is new and my family doctor says that is a normal celiac responce and how most people end up getting diagnosed. I never had that happen before....

    ARCHIVED Pf Changs

    casnco replied to Moongirl's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    I love PF Changs! One of the things I do is when my food is served I ask, "this is the gluten free meal, right?" The server is almost never the person who took my order. They always go back and double check. There have been several incidents where this tactic has helped. With the Chicken Wraps, Gluten Free one's are lighter in color than their gluten...

    Tiffany: I would like to talk to the chef/cook when my server is to flipant or looks at me with the deer in the head light look. Also, I would like to be taken seriously. If the server doesn't "get it" I would like that person to get the manager. I would like to be treated like my money was as important as anyone elses. That my need for sustanance was...
