    Thank you all for answering & providing links & such. I may get some & try it in recipes.

    What does teff flour taste like & when is it most often used?

    Yay Roxie! So wonderful to hear you are now comfortable with your intolerance. And I'm very happy to hear you made it out to CVS today. It's a great start. Go Roxie!

    Thanks jestgar!

    Ah! Thank you Pac. I have cashews & they are one of my safe snacks right now b/c of the low sals. Good tip!

    Thank you dear.

    It's awfully hard to get those babies to show up on pixels like they look in real life isn't it? But knowing that & knowing how mine look I would say there's a darn good chance it's dh. Now, if the derm does a biopsy --- OUCH! And ouch for a while too b/c that's a bad place to have a biopsy done but perhaps it will save you a lot of pain in the long run...

    You can buy tapioca flour. I don't know about grinding up the tapioca pellet things. Maybe someone else will.

    Need a quick & easy way to make either or both of the items in the topic title. Having to be low salicylate so I'm limited to homemade & only golden delicious apples or mangos. I don't know if I need pectin for jelly & if so if pectin is high sals. I can't find it on any sals list. Neither of these has to be the finest example of jelly or preserves...

    You can also get it from Nuts.com. It is also known as almond flour. Before I bought it I checked & it seems it goes by either name; almond meal or almond flour but they are both the same thing. Then I found out I have to go low sal for some months. But it's in the fridge waiting......

    Thanks jestgar for fixing that for me. I didn't even check it after posting. Why does it do that when I copy & paste anyway? Skylark, thank you!!!!!! I will try that. I swear it was really hard not to make about 5 more after tasting the first one & sit down on the floor & just gorge on BREAD! It tasted like homemade whole wheat bread; something...

    I made this today & it was to die for!!!!! I think this recipe has been on this board a dozen times. This is the first bread my hubs actually liked! But both of us at this point in time have to be low iodine AND low salicylate. SO, I need to eliminate the egg yolk b/c of high iodine & sub something for the almond flour b/c of high salicylates. I...

    Could you take a photo of it & post it for us?

    Austinite, how long did the doc say you were to eat gluten & how much per day? Here's a thought....you just might have luck getting the derm to biopsy for dh.
  15. squirmingitch
    I know. It's hard to know. For a couple/3 yrs. I would get bumps in my armpits that were like ant bites & they were painful --- I think the location is a big factor in the pain there. I thought they were maybe bites b/c we had a lot of mosquitoes where we lived & they did itch a lot but the predominant factor was pain in that location. Then somewhere...

    DH can be symmetrical OR it can present as singles or multiples on one side. I think a lot of it depends on the "stage" an individual is at in their "dh-ness". Way back in the very beginning when I had no clue my dh would present as a single blister on one hand or one leg --- like that. It might be followed in a couple/3 days by one on the other leg or hand...
  17. squirmingitch
    Hmmmm.... we with dh get what we call "bites" which are like insect bites in looks & they are much milder than the blisters in duration ect.... It's interesting that the antibody didn't prevent it. Hmmmmm..... dh anyone?
  18. squirmingitch
    Though a hallmark of dh IS intense itching you have to realize dh takes many forms & presentations AND it is also known to be in some cases very painful, can be a strong burning sensation in addition to or apart from the itching. This may be a pre form of dh. OR it could be shingles. As rosetapper said, if it's herpes, you'll know soon enough. And finally...

    Well, Dr. Leffler's office told you wrong. I would hate to see you go through all that just to test negative b/c the doc doesn't know what he's talking about. see: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    Ah my dear rosie, we do not disagree & I'm sooooo glad you stepped in with that info. I was in a rush & had other commitments & forgot to say that if she wants to go gluten-free & not pursue an official dx then go for it! I wholeheartedly agree with what rosetapper has said. Being self diagnosed myself, I would not push anyone with dh to...

    From everything you've said & the photos too, I would say it's a very good chance you have celiac disease. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT STOP EATING GLUTEN UNTIL ALL TESTING HAS BEEN COMPLETED! No temporary stopping, no gluten light, no "I'll eat a lot of gluten on the last few days before the test but until then be gluten free". Actually...

    Here are some links with info. on the iodine connection: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link

    My pleasure.
  24. squirmingitch
    Iodine affects both myself & my hubs in a big way. There have been many here who have problems with their dh in relation to iodine. But that's not going to do much good unless you are completely gluten free. Iodine has been medically recognized to aggravate the dh. If you go low iodine then you will probably start noticing a difference within about...

    Hi Teri, it would help if we knew your situation. Have you ever had dh before or is this the first time? Your dh may be presenting not from what you ate today but from what you ate a few days ago. Mine doesn't always break out immediately upon eating iodine or salicylates --- it might take a couple of days. I've only had one glutening since going gluten...
