    I have tried Emu oil & it has not made a bit of difference for me as to helping to stop the itching. So my question would be the same as PDB*DH above.

    Let us know how everything goes. Cheering for you!

    At least, at last, it sounds like they will leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of the situation. GOOD!

    I'm not sure if it works this way for humans or not but it's worth considering & someone can step in here & tell me I'm way off base or not. You might try frozen veggies & fruits in addition to the probiotics. Here's why: If you're going to give dogs fruits & veggies then they should be frozen (& then thawed) first. Their systems can't...

    Owlmuse, then the only things I can say other than this may just be the way you withdraw is: Quit ANY processed foods. gluten-free or not; they are still processed foods & "junk" foods. They may be keeping you feeling lousy. Even though you are a silent celiac or maybe BECAUSE you are a silent celiac -- it's harder for you to tell if/when you've been...

    Owlmuse, rant anytime you want. We all do it, we all have been there, & we all understand. Are you taking any vitamins? Have you had your vitamin/mineral levels tested? Have you had your thyroid checked? And finally, what kind of foods are you eating? Are you positive there is no cc? Are you & have you been eating processed foods even though they...

    Excellent link. This will help people. Almost all of the photos you find on the net are so severe that they are quite hard to even look at & people with less severe dh than those photos can be easily confused.

    Try one or both of these: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/15-celiac-disease-publications-publicity/ https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/15-celiac-disease-publications-publicity/ and this might suit: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/22-celiac-disease-support-groups/

    We can all look back with 20/20 sight & see the things that were telling us but don't be too hard on ourselves ---- we didn't have computers then. And people listened to & took the doctors word for everything then.

    I had been eating organic peanut butter on rice cakes & it didn't bother me. I quit only b/c peanuts are high in salicylates & I needed to go low sal. So now, I have either cashew butter or sunflower seed butter on my rice cake & still have no problem.

    I'm so sorry it's back. Darned stuff reminds me of the movie Poltergeist where the little girl says "it's baaaaccckkkk". Every time you think it's gone --- here we go again. Unfortunately it's going to keep doing that or heaven forbid STAY until you can go gluten-free. And then it can still come back off & on. And yes, it's under diagnosed in all...

    I'm one of those that Irish mentioned. Oh, I would like to gain a few pounds but if it doesn't happen --- cest la vie! Other people have always had more problems with my weight (or lack of) than I. I am happy with my hair including the color --- well the grey coming in is getting a little weary. I've always liked my nose. I'm happy with my legs -- even though...

    This is why you can't find the fast melts. [url="http://www.benadryl.com/recall_nov152010"]http://www.benadryl.com/recall_nov152010[/url] I was just looking for them on drugstore.com & it says the manufacturer is out of stock. so I went looking for the reason & found the recall info. I have tried the liquid but something about...

    The list is printed. OMG! OMG! OMG! York Peppermint Patties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's MY love! Although peppermint doesn't exactly agree with me (gas); I can't resist a peppermint patty once in a blue moon. Yes, I know, peppermint is supposed to be soothing but I can't eat candy canes anymore. Well, I have to renig on that as maybe they have gluten &...

    Good idea with the Dove chocolate! Hubs was asking about Hersey's chocolate syrup so I'll have to check that out to make sure it's safe. Yes, it IS a great relief having the household gluten free. It's so much easier & faster to prep food now & I know it's just mental but I feel like the kitchen is clean now.

    YAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!! Keep us posted.
  17. squirmingitch
    Yes, we did! He actually turned some of them down & is limiting his intake on the ones we did get as he is thinking about processed foods & sals content. Good boy! He had some Haagen-Daz with Glutinos wafer cookies tonight & now he's sampling the Glutinos pretzels. So far, so good.

    In a word, no. I did a lot of research in anticipation of his going gluten-free. Of course the quickest way to get a dx would be a biopsy of the lesions. So I checked out derms within any reasonable distance. I could not find a single one who has experience doing a biopsy of dh. That combined with the fact that he has been gluten light b/c of me since October...

    Good point Karen. Also there is the question of what was being used in drywall when an existing home was built. 1935?, 1950?, 1970? --- these are all factors as is the age of the drywall in one of those homes. Perhaps at some point after the home was built it received damage from say an "Andrew" & the drywall was replaced. These are things we do not know...

    Lisa, You have to look for it on these links but yes, wheat starch as well as corn starch is used in making drywall. One may not be able to discern which is used in what but it's certainly being utilized.

    Why am I not surprised that the scientist brews his own? Thanks for the link. I will check them out tomorrow. Today is shot. I have no mind for decisions this evening. Already made too many of those today.

    Can you tell my hubs is not a big beer drinker? Or any kind of drinker really --- neither of us. But we're trying to learn how to be. You have to give us credit for that.
  23. squirmingitch
    As to your second line about your joke.... No, you can always quickly go back & edit it! And if you don't think of that there's always IH to make the magic happen. (Pssstttt.... I think she likes to think she's a leprechaun ) The drywall guys sound wonderful! I've been thinking about that for when we get our house built. Now with hubs having dh we...

    I needed a laugh today. I'm so far behind it ain't even funny!
  25. squirmingitch
    It is getting a bit scary isn't it? Nahhhhhhhh. I've got everything I can think of to cross crossed for her.Including my eyes.
