    I haven't used that product or looked at the ingredients, but castor oil is from the castor seed. It's not glutenous.

    Dani, do you realize if you do have DH with your g6pd you can't use the traditional treatment of dapsone?

    Sweet rice flour is the best I've found for rouxs. I tried sorghum and it just isn't as good at thickening. Sweet rice flour does taste browner than the wheat counterpart of the same color, so beware. I haven't burnt it but you can smell and taste the stronger flavor. While I understand your perspective on roux (since my family is from LA and rouxs are...

    I used the crystal deoderant (spray), but it burned because of the salts so I stopped using that. I actually used a spray version of Sure (or was it Suave) for a while. It was unscented and a spray so I didn't have ro touch the rash (which helped). But it was a bit harsh. I ended up with a Tom's stick that was ok for me but I'm sure it was high sal. Finally...

    There should be some sal-free deodorants put there. I'd bet they are unscented, too. Start googling. I use Dove unscented. I think it's also sensitive skin formula?? I don't know if it's sal free, though. Aha! Here! Open Original Shared Link

    DH runs a 2 week course with me. I go through at least a week of the sores swelling and filling at night, popping and drying up in the morning. The swelling starts around 4 pm and goes to 10 pm or so. It's a nightly battle not lose my sanity. During that time it spreads (mine is like a solid net of rash with a rash free bulls-eye in the center of my arm...

    Ridiculous. If you find a doctor to test you, wait a while. Steroids can negate Celiac testing by suppressing the immune system. I wonder if that's why DH is hard to dx, because they toss steroids out like candy first. You may read some of the recent threads in the DH area about ways to combat rashes.
  9. pricklypear1971
    Was your mother on steroids of any type? Oral or topical. Steroids are used to suppress the immune system - so they could have lowered her test numbers.

    I looked for a papaya today and all they had were mangoes. I'll keep looking.
  11. pricklypear1971
    Yes. Read through the kids/parents section and you'll see lots of posts about negative tests/positive results on a gluten-free diet. Too much to attempt to rewrite.
  12. pricklypear1971
    I thought I saw it listed as moderate (fresh), but tomato products were high. I dunno.

    Some people can experience hypoglycemia symptoms (which include shakiness, sugar craving to stabilize glucose) without dipping below 60 bg. I do that. I'd re-investigate thyroid and adrenals with a good doctor. You'll have to fight for the adrenals, probably, unless you can get a thyroid dx. If your parents will take you, research and find a good Naturapath...

    Jeez, you beat my 4 days of labor. I finally accepted pit and epi after I stalled @ 3 1/2 days. Baby was fine but I was exhausted and was afraid I'd end up with a c-section (and since we were sure I had Endometriosis we were all wanting to avoid that). I do want to add, for all the pregnant ladies, that it wasn't 4 full days of hard labor. It was start...

    Tattoos, unfortunately, are one of those things characterized as an autoimmune trigger. Pretty, but no way I'd get one. I'd probably sprout feathers and grow a third boob or something.

    I found this blog. Says quinoa is zero. Yay. Read it, looks like good info. Open Original Shared Link

    Funny you post this. Someone posted about Rudi's having an odd smell - and I hadn't noticed it. Well, the last loaf I bought had a smell to it. I think the new one does, too. Luckily, I found it dissipates and doesn't affect the taste. It is a weird smell, though. And Rudi's is my favorite. I haven't noticed it in any of the plain flours I've...

    Yep. Botanicals would be. I was a jojoba oil /almond oil girl. Natural salt deoderant....natural hair sprays, gels, Aveeno powder for exfoliant, henna hair color (had wheat in it). Skin care had oats and wheat germ oil in it. I had to change EVERYTHING. Wow. That trip down memory lane made me want a drink...luckily I have Ciroq on hand .

    Here's a list. I don't know if ingredients are different in Sweden, or what's available to you. Open Original Shared Link You might try safflower or sunflower oil if you want a natural moisturizer. I don't know how they feel on skin. Try it? I find my DH needs super-moisturizing.
  20. pricklypear1971
    Yes. Nothing natural. You may find something low-sal with extracts but not easily. There may be some no sal natural stuff out there but it will take some researching (and probably ordering). It's an unfortunate fact. That's why I stuck with Vanicream - gluten-free, no sal. Not all chemicals are low sal, but some are. I found Vanicream listed as no sal on...

    Oh, and ice packs. Ice the rash.
  22. pricklypear1971
    Sometimes I think it's a chain reaction. Right now your ai system is in overdrive. You may have to pull all of it waaaay down - gluten, sals, iodine then cautiously add back. I bet the mouthwash/gel was like the straw that broke the camel's back, though. Keep the rash lubricated. Find a cream/lotion that is no sal - which will mean synthetic. Sorry...

    Follow the links above. They have charts showing high sal foods. Choose one and see? Remember they accumulate so you may not see it immediately. Everyone is different.
  24. pricklypear1971
    Dani, the one thing to remember is they guides are just that - guides. Some of them say different things, and everyone is sensitive at different levels and to different things. The tricky thing about sals is they are cumulative so you may not see an immediate effect - a high sal food may hit you 2 days later when you hit your body's threshold. Personally...

    Well, if you need protein and can't/won't eat meat/beans then it's an option. Be careful, since it is a milk product - and some Celiacs have a problem with milk. If you have problems with your stomach that won't go away, you may try dropping milk for a while. I know there are threads on here about protein powders, you may search for them. I don't have...
