    I called Vlasic today about what kind of salt they use in their pickles as Vlasic is our favorite pickle maker. Well, the girl said they use iodized salt in one plant & in the other plant they do NOT use iodized salt. So you have to have all the codes on the label & jar to find out which plant the jar of pickles you are holding was made at. To us...

    Katty, Myself & quite a few others get a LOT of stuff from Nuts.com. They have certified, batch tested gluten free items & we're not just talking about nuts. There are flours & candies & seeds & nuts & dried fruit & chocolate for baking or eating & more. I wouldn't get my nuts anywhere else! I have never heard of anyone having...

    Based on what you said happened when you went gluten-free & it's return now with take out food & Thanksgiving plus the photo; I'd say it's dh. You can't trust take out food & taking risks also with Thanksgiving. And YES! pregnancy can have an effect also. You need to be 100% gluten-free no doubts about it kind of gluten-free. DH is sensitive...

    Well said bartful, well said! A big round of applause for that!

    Boy Katty, you are the model spouse of a celiac! Kudos to YOU! The others were spot on with their advice. Based on your last posting I will add that gluten withdrawal can take some time & it can seem gone & then it comes back ~~~ another good days, bad days kind of thing. The first 6 months, at least, of gluten free can be wonky so just try to roll...

    I had never, ever, ever been a depressed person nor a person prone to anxiety. I had anxiety only when there was something BIG to have anxiety about such as where the next $ was coming from to buy groceries. About 8 years ago when my celiac began to manifest, even though I didn't know it, I began to get depressed & anxiety both & they just kept...

    FWIW I have only eaten out once since going gluten-free & that was before my hubs found out he had it TOO. We went to Chinese & I brought my own food, a sandwich, I ordered wine & an iced tea to drink with my sandwich. They had no problem with it & I told them in advance what I was going to do. To me, it's just not worth taking the risk. It...

    Yoplait says gluten free right on it --- but it's in small letters - you have to look closely. Chobani & Okios (sp?) are gluten free.

    Oh you poor, poor thing!!!!! You've got it BAD don't you? Well, I don't know really anything about the dosing of Dapsone but I would say maybe you need to talk to your doc about upping the dosage. Now, upping the dosage will not make the places heal any faster. This stuff takes it's own sweet time healing & it is vexing in the extreme. So Dapsone will...

    Okay, as co-winner of the guess what instrument contest.....let's seeeeee...... my favorite gluten-free snack.....hummmmmm..... I might have said sharp cheddar cheese but that's on my no-no list b/c of iodine which makes me want it all the more. Soft egg on gluten-free toast would not have normally been my favorite snack but since that's also on the no-no...

    We can have other skin problems in conjunction with the dh which can make figuring things out tricky. And from my own personal experience as well as what has been related on here by others as well as medical texts--- the darn dh can take so many forms. I had blisters, blisters, blisters & the bite kind of dh ---- now I'm in a spell where I'm not getting...

    Yes, low IgA antibodies can affect blood tests & skin biopsies. But the question is moot b/c you have been gluten free for quite some time now. Cindylou, nothing you do short of eating gluten for some time will give you any positive test results now ---- NOTHING. DH can break out at any time EVEN though you have been eating gluten free for up to 2...

    I'm thinking piano or flute. Floutist? I'm sorry the tater got you. I'm off to read about Shroomie's lectins.

    You ever get the feeling that most of the doctors out there went to the Frank Burns School of Medicine?
  15. squirmingitch
    Yup, between the blisters, the photos & the itching; I say it looks like dh. I hope after gluten-free they almost never or never come back for you but just remember they can. And dh is very, very sensitive to the tiniest amount of gluten. So don't take any chances. Play it really safe otherwise it may go gangbusters on you.

    :lol: You guys are funny! :lol: But I assure you the shrooms that I have eaten have all been of the normal, what everyone eats, sold in the grocery store either fresh, canned or in jars kind of mushrooms. The kind everyone uses in spaghetti sauces or for sauteing or in soups, stuffings, or any other dish they make. I will admit I experimented with things...

    Awwwwwwwww, how cute!
  18. squirmingitch
    Awwwww DRAT! I forgot about you & the nightshades. I have tried eggbeaters in my life ---- blech! Mushrooms ---- I discovered years ago that I am allergic or at least have a sensitivity to mushrooms. I have never, ever heard of anyone being allergic to mushrooms before. I have never been fond of them & never used them in my own cooking but would...

    I'm okay with egg whites & soy is a no go for me. Hellman's CANOLA mayo contains no soy so you could look for that. I tried making eggless mayo 3 times & flopped. Dried beans & peas are good for you! Actually, your mixture doesn't sound bad at all. Wish I were smelling it cooking right now.

    Forgot to say I'm using Google Chrome.

    From your family history as well as your own history as well as your response to gluten-free diet, it's pretty obvious you are celiac. You know, celiac as well as the dh can go into spontaneous remission especially when we are children. That's why they used to think it was a childhood disease. Steroids will help but most of us who have been on them know...

    Wow! What wonderful news. Congratulations roxieb! You have had remarkable results in a very short time being gluten free. You GO girl! Just imagine how great you're going to be when you have been gluten-free for an entire year?!!!!
  23. squirmingitch
    I tried it as both a member & a guest & it gave me the lockout too.
  24. squirmingitch
    Beans & peas gluten-free? What kind of beans & what kind of peas? I tried that Daiya cheese --- me no like But if I could have mayo with it then it might taste better. Mayo = egg yolk = iodine. Sigh. I adore mayo! And egg & potato salad. Sigh again. Oh well, this too shall pass ---- some day, somewhere over the rainbow....... I hope your little...

    I understood you. :D We have to have humor or we will lose it. Well, I am terribly sorry that you have had this since about 15 --- how old are you now? I understand about not wanting to go on gluten for further testing. DH has a way of making sure we stick to the diet --- dx or no. As for me, it looks like I'm going to be a long, long time getting the...
