    All of the other above you will have to work out. But your baby definitely CAN be affected by your diet. Milk, milk protein, etc. I know, they say certain proteins are too big to pass into breastmilk - yadda yadda. My son was on reflux meds at 2 weeks. I got off milk, soy and it was so much better for him. Got him off the meds. He refused bm when I...

    Salicylates. Made me break out in a DH rash, neuro symptoms for 2 weeks. I don't typically get stomach issues, but have experienced a few intermittent ones after going gluten-free. I'm never quite sure why or what but I know sals like colorings, preservatives literally make me nuts, break out in a rash, and have anxiety and brain fog. In short, sick sick...

    DH can look very different person to person. You don't have to have a big rashy patch. Some people also get eczema/psoriasis from gluten. I was on the fence about mine til I withdrew iodine - and it quickly went away and hasn't come back. That's a pretty strong indicator.

    Well, your body may still be adjusting. My doctor has me on some supplements to help my body make hormones. I also use natural progesterone cream. Additionally, I take a lot of vitamins. Gluten has really done a number on my adrenals and whole system. I am finally starting to feel normal, and my last period was a dream!

    Wow, that's some heavy-duty iron eating there. My hat is off to anyone that can eat liver! You may want to consider organ meats are considered high in iodine in general, and potato skins are also high iodine foods -if your rash responds to iodine withdrawal this may be a source of irritation for you. Good luck!

    I agree you may benefit from some heavy-duty supplementation. I also hope you jive with the new doc. It makes a huge difference when you feel you can trust your doctor. I also agree your frame of reference may be off re: "fine". Mine sure was.

    Yes, it can be fast. It can vary from day to day. It can last for weeks, off and on. And it can change. I never noticed bloating. Now I bloat. I have no idea from what... Salicylates bother me - the bad ones like preservatives, scents. That can be bad and fast.
  8. pricklypear1971
    Well, that was eventful. When does your regular doc return?

    If there is mast cell involvement cromolyn cream may help. It helped stop some itching for my DH. Recipe at Open Original Shared Link

    Camping - used to Pre- marinate steaks in a baggie, cooler. Dry pancake ingredients in a baggie, add wet, shake, cook. Canned beans in a pot. Cook sausage, etc. Boil in a bag rice. Fruits and veggies, cook in a pot or roast. Energy bars. Anti-diarrhea meds, pain killer, bug spray, sunblock. And don't forget the gluten-free beer, wine, and cider. And...

    I geez. Bras. My rash (DH) has been on my neck, stomach, legs, etc. but the main sites are my pits. I have tried so many bras, shirts (pressure aggravates it), creams, etc. it's ridiculous. In the end, reducing iodine was the only thing that stopped it from re-erupting. I've got to post pics. Btw, I can't go to a mall without sneezing and itching...

    Quite a few here have problems with salicylates. Google salicylate allergy and read about it. I have an issue with chemical or preservative sals - so gluten free, chemical-laden food can give me neuro fits.
  13. pricklypear1971
    That's fabulous! What ship were you on?
  14. pricklypear1971
    We always buy organic, too. Perhaps that helps. I've heard of people having coffee issues. - not gluten related, usually caffeine or chemical.
  15. pricklypear1971
    So which one do you use?
  16. pricklypear1971
    I balked at tossing stuff out (or donating) too. I replaced pourus items like wooden cutting boards, spoons. I replaced my colanders with stainless steel that can be scrubbed and scoured. I didn't notice I was having a problem, but close scrutiny showed food stocking to those things regardless of scrubbing - so better safe than sorry. I do admit...

    I know someone else posted about this in the last week or so...try a search and see if you can find it. I don't think it was the title, but in the responses. I know, not a lot to go on.

    Cyrex Labs is who I see referenced regarding this. I can't find the research, but there are articles EVERYWHERE. too many to sift through to find the research. I haven't worried much about it since I figured out it doesn't bother me, and developed the chai habit. Here's a kink to the test: Open Original Shared Link

    I've tried Oregon Chai less sweet and Tazo. I prefer Tazo. I like brewing by the bag, but it's only "tea" - not strong or spicy enough for milk. I'd love to maker own but have hesitated to commit with all the food weirdness.
  21. pricklypear1971
    It's so good, isn't it???
  22. pricklypear1971
    Or soy? Read the forum. Many people here have temporary or permanent issues with common (or uncommon) foods after going gluten-free. Keep your diary, try an elimination diet... See what pops up. Symptoms don't have to be immediate to be linked.
  23. pricklypear1971
    I'm crossing my gluten-free fingers for you!
  24. pricklypear1971
    ....and dermatitis herpetiformis!
  25. pricklypear1971
    Well, good luck. In all those lunches, did they contain gluten?
