  1. I understand. I really hate them, too. My body did NOT like them. I really don't know anything about eczema, except it IS an autoimmune disease. Here's a link about eczema and celiac http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/commoncomplicationsofcd/a/Can-Eating-Gluten-Free-Help-With-Your-Eczema-Treatment.htm Just out of curiosity, you may try this cream. http...
  2. But what happens if you STOP the seaweed and other high iodine foods? That's the big question, since you're eating so much. I wished many times for Dr. House. If they didn't specifically look for iga pattern dh they wouldn't see it. You'd have to ask the lab if the correct biopsy/solution was used and if it was looked at (dh is a visual dx of stained...
  3. There are other autoimmune skin rashes that are bilateral. I don't know if that's good or bad news. I've always said not to judge a rash for dh based on appearance, but by reaction. Do you react to iodine rich foods like egg yolks, asparagus, seaweed? If you react (rash flares) that's an indicator of dh. Have you read about differential diagnoses for...
  4. Have you seen pics of plaque psoriasis? Do you think your lesions look like that?
  5. I'm sorry, that looks so uncomfortable. That reminds me of plaque psoriasis. Did you have the plaque when you went to the doctor?
  6. D before your period is caused by prostaglandins. If it starts up, take an Imodium. It works.
  7. Antihistamines also suppress the immune system - so if you are having autoimmune symptoms it could relieve some of them. Last winter I was glutened one two many times and went into a tailspin, plus juniper/cedar season...and after taking antihistimes for a few days I could feel the difference. I had to continue very low doses (half adult dose every other...
  8. Some days bars like Kind+ are just too sweet for me. And too sweet upsets my stomach. That's just me, though. And then it's virus season....so hopefully it was just the bar and coffee...
  9. Yes - the heat is a month early. Supposed to be in the low 90's/80's by the end of the week. But it gets down in the 60's at night (at least right now) - so the mornings are very cool, as well as beautiful evenings.
  10. Hot dogs and potato salad (mashed potatoes for the kid), and fruit salad. If I would have thought this out I could have cooked the dogs on the sidewalk since it got up to 101 today!!!
  11. Too bad she didn't tell you that a loooonnng time ago. I wish my mother's dentist would be so smart...and tell her to get her butt tested.
  12. Anyway...HAVE A GREAT DAY!

    COUGIE ;)

  13. Hi prickly...was wondering the forum...and thought I'd say HELLO...LOL..."HELLO"!

    Was just writing some of the "GIRLS" ...and saw your Icon...thought I'd stop a minute!

    Wowsure ishot in southern cali today...where are you at!Dani is in sweden ,sylvia(SA1932) is in pennsylania...KarenG,Canada...MarilynR,Florida...makes for interesting conversation...

  14. I haven't found a good Saltine sub. Tried Schar - they look like Saltines but taste more like Ritz.
  15. Well, it's hot as heck - 100. Supposed to get up to 106 over the next few days. Making chilaquiles tonight - may just drink smoothies or gazpacho the next few days. And it's fizzy fruit drink time - little but of fruit juice and a bunch of sparkling water....drink drink drink. Hot!!
  16. http://megannskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/09/nuts-about-chocolate-cupcakes-gluten-free.html?m=1 I don't know why the board is truncating links...but that's what's happening. If it won't go to it the recipe is called Nuts About Chocolate Cupcakes - or search "gluten-free" on the blog. I'll try it later on the computer.maybe it won't truncate it. I'm...
  17. Well, tonight we're headed to dinner at my FIL's. I'm packing baked beans for all (mine are in a seperate container), and I'm taking a leftover hamburger patty/bun and fixins from Wed. to eat in place of grilled stuff they're making - along with fruit salad (found some great berries today!). And I made some great little flour less chocolate cupcakes today...
  18. I think the biggest benefit to buying at TJ's is the no gluten ingredients PLUS they label many foods with the type of facility it was processed in. If it says "processed with wheat" I steer clear, most of the time.
  19. Their press release has hit the financial papers - WSJ, etc.
  20. Tonight is gluten-free cheeseburger and fries and chocolate coconut shake night...so I can see if that sends that kid screaming to the bathroom like In-n-Out.
  21. Beef short ribs, asparagus, and probably mashed potatoes.
  22. Grits and shrimp (and okra/onion/tomato). I'm thinking oatmeal cookies since I'm cleaning out the freezer and the gluten-free oats have been in there a while.
