    I agree with ravenwoodglass.

    Yup, I would agree with gluten withdrawal as nvsmom says.

    A dx of dh is a dx of celiac disease & no further testing is needed. From the U of Chicago Celiac Disease Center: "A skin biopsy should be done on a non-affected portion of the skin near the rash when there is an outbreak. It’s not necessary to perform an intestinal biopsy to establish the diagnosis of celiac disease in a patient with DH; the skin b...

    No Irish, i don't think you're off your rocker. Monday is not so far away & if there's a chance he will do it then GO FOR IT!!!! I'm 100% behind you girl!!!! I'm limited on time at the moment so everything will be brief. One MUST HAVE cookbook is America's Test Kitchen "The How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook" I saw WalMart had it for about $15....

    I agree with chocominties & bartful. I have been gluten free for 3 years & have had zero accidental glutenings for the same reasons they have not had any. They had excellent advice for you.

    It gets a TON easier. Hang in there. Believe it or not, it will become second nature.

    I understand your frustration IN FULL! And I'm sorry to say that I seriously doubt your HMO derm will do the biopsy correctly. It looks like you've been doing your research & you know the odds of getting a false negative on the blood test as well. I hear you and I understand your entire rant & you are justified in it. But bottom line is bottom...

    Get the "The How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook" by America's Test Kitchen. It's amazing! They have figured it all out & the recipes do not disappoint. It takes time to make them but it will save you tons of grief trying this & trying that & ending up throwing a ton of stuff in the garbage which relates to throwing money down the drain. You...

    Great to hear you're improving!

    YVW! And...... Have you been eating gluten-free? You need to be eating a full gluten diet for bloods & endoscopy or else you can get false negatives. 2 slices of gluten bread per day for 6 - 8 weeks.

You have to be off those for a while before tests!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Open Original Shared Link

    Thank you for the information! It makes a difference that a gluten eater has tasted and can recommend a gluten free item. I made the dinner rolls today that I had spoken of in an earlier post on this thread. They turned out fantastic! We are both very happy with the results. There are no objectionable flavors and the crumb is perfect. I intend to post...

    The book Bartful is talking about is: America's Test kitchen The How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook I am going to make the dinner roll recipe tomorrow. It will be the 1st recipe from it that I'm trying. It does have a biscuit recipe & I will get around to trying that one too. Dinner rolls 1st as my hubs requested that. I've only had Against...

    I'm hoping right along with you.

    Lee, are those King Arthur loaf pans higher than most loaf pans?

    Both my hubs & I have had flu shots every year & never had any problems. In fact, this year, along with the flu shot we both got shingles shots & we are fine.

    Biscuits, I crave biscuits, baking powder biscuits. Ones that don't taste like beans or like birdseed (millet) or like brown rice. Ones that don't leave a bad aftertaste. My hubs would like ones that don't taste like nuts (almond flour). I made my own biscuits from the time I was around 13 (will be 58 in a week) and I have been unable to get anywhere close...

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I surely hope this flare will be short lived.

    Just this afternoon something odd has happened to me. I'm on a Mac using Safari browser. Every thread in the DH forum is showing green buttons even though I have read them all ~~ no blue buttons appearing in any thread. I tried reading one then exiting the site and when I came back the button was again green even though there were no new posts to the thread...

    Hormone levels can affect dh flares or outbreaks. It's not all in your head. it is well known that pregnant women can suddenly break out in dh seemingly out of nowhere but it was there lurking all along. it's just that the pregnancy hormones triggered it. Sooooooooooo, it's not all in your head & yes, hormones affect dh.

    Thanks Ruth. Yes, I know but my hubs is like having a 5 yr. old when eating. He hates sorghum & quinoa flavors. Almond meal is okay but he complains that "it tastes like nuts". Me, I just want to smack him & tell him to get a grip. Sigh.
  22. squirmingitch
    Thanks! I have the same book myself. That's what put me onto this. Here's the problem..... Their flour mix calls for some brown rice flour & my hubs just despises anything with brown rice flour in it. He does that lip curl thing you know. Any suggestions what to replace that with? We both hate millet flour & the bean flours btw.

    Have you tried using psyllium husk powder for making breads, rolls, etc....? What have your experiences been with using it? What brand do you use? Will you share your recipes please?
  24. squirmingitch
    Let us know Jim.

    I don't know what you mean by milk & soy showing up on blood test results. I have never heard of any blood tests for milk & soy & "normal" numbers on those. Celiacs have trouble with dairy b/c the tips of the villi are where the lactose in the dairy is broken down & dealt with but that's the first part of the villi affected & degraded...
