    Jortyle, That almost sounds like a rash I had about 25 years ago. I'd actually had at least 1 previous DH outbreak before that I think, but I didn't know it was DH. I went to see a Dr. about it, it was some type of roseasea (sp?) and he looked for what he called a 'primary patch' to confirm the diagnosis. The 'primary patch' was also a round dry itchy...

    My hand mixer came with regular beaters or dough hook type beaters. For the rice flour bread I just used the regular beaters, since I think the dough hook ones may be good to help with gluten-y dough but not gluten-free dough. If you have a choice of regular beaters vs a whisk attachment, I'd go with the regular ones.

    Thanks for sharing, great idea. I was thinking about pie crust last night, after another sunken loaf of bread. I love a good pie and that looks yummy!

    Yay you! It's been just over 4 weeks for me too, and the 2nd week for me of low iodine for DH. While trying to figure out what affected the DH using a food diary (and before I knew it meant celiac), I gave up most dairy a few months ago. I miss cheese the most. I actually was using 'smart balance' instead of butter for a few weeks, until I discovered that...

    +1, as well as joint pain (right knee in particular, sometimes elsewhere).

    When I mentioned possibly using other fruits, I had maybe apple or pear in mind. I haven't had a mango in years, though. Please reply back and let us know how it is! And you're welcome.

    Also, when you say before you get in the shower and nothing has touched your mouth -- does that include no coffee either? I'm just asking because it might be one of those things we don't even consider as a possibility.

    Someone asked for a recipe without any gums, and this could probably be adapted to use some other fruit besides bananas, also? I made it last Friday, came out great! I based it on a recipe in my 30 year old Fanny Farmer cookbook, which is my favorite. I used 2 bananas instead of 3, and left out the nuts just because I'm avoiding most nuts at the moment. ...

    Do you have a hand mixer? I have a kitchen aid hand mixer that I used for my first gluten-free (rice blend) yeast bread, and it worked fine. Though that dough was pretty wet, the next time I reduced the water and actually mixed it all by hand and that was fine too. I've mixed pretty stiff cookie dough with the hand mixer, it has enough power to work through...

    When I had DH on my face a few years ago, (and didn't know at the time that's what it was) I did find that pro-active solution helped. It didn't go away completely until I stopped eating wheat. (Not knowing better, I switched to spelt, ugh!) I thought it was some weird form of adult acne, since I was in my late 30's. I also wore some cover girl foundation...

    I've been gluten-free for about a month now, but I had given up most dairy (except butter) a few months ago, trying to figure out what was making the DH worse. (At the time I was calling it eczema, and using a food journal I realized yogurt and cheese made it worse.) Then on Thanksgiving I had a small amount of dairy, and the next day my stomach was complaining...

    Er, after I saw this reply I also noticed your sig that mentions intolerances, including guar gum. I was trying to be helpful when I threw out the idea, but not so much this time I guess. Sorry...

    I don't have a huge amount of experience with it, but I've made a couple loaves of rice blend bread with guar gum, (Now brand), and they turned out o.k. I used the amount suggested on the container for the first loaf a few weeks ago, which is 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour, and it was too rubbery. I used half that amount for the next loaf, and it turned out...

    Thanks for that info. It may just be that particular supplement bothered me, related to maltodextrin or something else? I have another supplement with maltodextrin that doesn't bother me, so hard to say for sure what it was in that case. I'm just not sure that it's always safe ...

    I'm so glad you asked. I'm pretty new here (this will be my 3rd reply I think...), but I discovered I had a problem with wheat over 10 years ago. It was only about a month ago that I read the book 'Healthier Without Wheat' and read the description of DH that I realized I've had outbreaks of that a few times over the last, I don't know, 30 years or so....

    I had a probiotic supplement with maltodextrin in it that gave me that feeling, as well as getting really tired. I had only been gluten-free for about 2 weeks at that time (now it's been about a month...) The research mostly says that it's ok, because it's so highly refined that any gluten that was in the source is no longer there, I don't buy it. So it's...

    Personally, I would look at your supplements also. You said you'd been taking them for months (25 of them? yikes...), was this before or after starting gluten-free? I have the added issue of DH (dermatitis herpa( ta-something)), so I discovered through these forums to reduce iodine also. I had already discovered that some supplements I'd been taking made...

    It might also make a difference whether it's organic or not? A good amount of corn in the U.S. is GMO, which I discovered when I was researching excema. I'd been avoiding corn for years, and recently started to occasionally have organic popcorn popped in coconut oil, and it's been o.k. I stick to organic because I read that will mean it's non-gmo. Unless...
