    I'm a big fan of braising too. The least expensive cuts of meat are often the most favorable. Braising would make even shoe leather tender.

    Sounds divine! I am making my own butter too, cultured. I just started a few months ago. I'd love if you shared your method. And last night I made my first batch of yogurt. We're having salad with homemade blue cheese dressing and my minestrone soup.

    Oh Sweetheart, I would love to be able to give you fast answers. There are some wise members who will come forward to help you. How were you diagnosed? What are you eating? What's your family situation like? (((Welcome))) And first read the post titled Newbie info 101. It's on this thread!

    Oh and just to clarify my DH symptoms have been around as long as the other issues. I am some real improvement with the all over itching. Scalp and bottom are itch free pretty much.

    dani nero, So your IQ has been off a bit lately, huh? That made me laugh...in empathy I assure you. I had minor GI symptoms but major itching, joint pain (especially hips), depression, debilitating fatigue.... all the rest of the non GI stuff. Diagnosed 2 months ago by bloodwork. The occasional big D with urgency stopped within a couple of weeks. However...

    I could feel that (((hug))). Thank you so much. Yeah, the nights can be killers. For the last year or so I have gone to bed with husband then migrated to living room couch. I have even made sure I had something like a hair pick (the old metal kind) within reach to dig at scalp. Cold seems to help. For the longest time I would wake up and get a bag...

    Oh my Lord, Your little guy's photos are heartbreaking. You did a great job by the way on the pics. I agree with all the posters here and know you want an answer. If it were my baby and I knew about DH I would go gluten free right away and see if a couple of months gives him any relief. He's only 7 months so feeding him is easy to control. I would not...

    Squirmingitch, Oh I could cry with relief. This whole Celiac, DH, Hashimoto's thing has me severely doubting my own perceptions. But this particular manifestation has popped up a lot recently. I have noticed an improvement in the crazy-making itch in the two months I've been gluten-free. For instance, I haven't had the middle of the night thing on...

    Just to clarify I am not getting welts now. I get the intense itch and then later, sometimes, but not always, little blisters, not a "rash."
  10. JustNana
    I have a question. I have noticed that when I'm first getting a new "itchy" that it's on a site that has just had some pressure on it. Like if I use scissors I will get the intense itch right where the handles were pressing on my fingers. To me, this is acting like a hive situation. When I was younger I would sometimes react to a medication with hives...

    Yes indeedy Skylark, makes perfect sense. Thanks for the concise response. 

    I read the advertisement and my hackles rose. I wouldn't waste my money either. Skylark, please correct me if I'm wrong, but it isn't like being lactose intolerant, is it? Celiacs have an auto immune problem. The body sees gluten in the intestine as the enemy and attacks it. Wouldn't even well "digested" gluten have to pass into the small intestine...

    Meghan My horrible itching had no rash or even redness until I started scratching. Then it changed and I started getting tiny blisters in some places, but only as the itch was well under way. And even then only in a few places at first, especially hands. It is Dermatitis Herpetiformis. I noticed improvement after 2 weeks gluten free. Please try...

    Figment, I have a big grin on my face for you. I was waiting for your post after the Dr. Yes, she dooes sound wonderful. I am sending you best wishes for a terrific trip to Disneyland. Last May, before I was diagnosed, our son, daughter and three little grandkids went to Disney for 5 days. We splurged and stayed on site at the California Grand. The...

    Bunnie1 You know when I re-read my post I realized too late that it was unclear. The advice was from Dr and websites, also from some members here. Thanks for the zinc lozenge info. PricklyPear and Bubba'sMom, Your advice and info is really appreciated. I guess my big fear was that if I didn't take pills in a perfect way I would be defeating the...

    According g to the IP Board site there is a free mobile app. But the link at the bottom of our pages does not work.

    Oh yeah I almost forgot. I am taking a Probiotic when I pour myself some buttermilk because it's in the fridge next to it, no no rhyme or reason to that. And I'd like to take digestive enzymes...are they before meals or during? If I wasn't so foggy headed and short tempered this probably would be easy to figure out. I'm so weepy these days everything...

    I am getting somewhat frustrated trying to put together a vitamin & mineral supplement schedule. I am a recently DX'd Celiac, DH and Hashimoto's patient. I suspect I have been undiadnosed for several years. My blood tests have revealed that I'm low in many nutrients and flat out deficient in several. Among them are: B2, B6, B12, D, zinc and folic...

    Moose I have sent you a private message, but want to publically apologize to you for my rude behavior. I completely misread the intent behind your thread. I was disrespectful and totally out of line. I have fought a tendency to be mouthy and judgmental for years and as you see I am not always successful. This was the worst place to exhibit that...

    Cruel shoes That was a beautiful post. Thoughtful and truly helpful. I feel for the celiacs who don't have awful symptoms that are alleviated by a gluten-free diet. Not sure how perfectly motivated I could be either.
  21. JustNana
    No need to apologize. :-)

    I dunno why the subject of the NEW THREAD doesn't appear... Though it may for most members... My ability to access many features is severely limited. 

    Wow thx for the info. I have spent a lot of time today on the DH thread. Very good advice and things I didnt know. The iodine thing is intriguing to me because as I was filling a salt shaker last week I noticed I accidentally got "non-iodized" so we've been using that for maybe 3 weeks. Just in the last 24-36 hours I have had a striking improvement...

    Prickly, Squirming and dani You have helped me so much with the DH issue. I have been reading all the posts on this topic. I can't understand why Drs don't read patient forums. They could learn more than by reading the crap put out by the AMA. The oddest thing has happened to me and I feel a little guilty about it after reading what a rough time...
