    I am sorry that I posted and ran. It's been a rough week all around. I've eaten both with others and alone. No one uses my desk when I am not around, but the guy on the other side of my cube eats gluten all day long. I've never suspected him of causing my problems, though, and he doesn't come around my way much. I've made it a point to not put my...

    My work is really lenient. I work four ten hour days, two of them at home. Just today I requested a third day and it was granted, so I only have to go in now for one ten hour day a week. My problem is, every single day I go into work, I get sick. It always happens about 1-2 hours after lunch and it doesn't matter what I eat. I admit I do eat out...

    My diagnosis was based on the same. My celiac panel was most definitely positive, and that with the rash and my symptoms was enough for my doctor to diagnose me as celiac. He didn't think I needed the expense and trauma and time for the biopsy. He's a good doctor and I really like him. If he thinks this is what it is, I'm going with it. I definitely...

    Good thing I don't like oatmeal! I did know it was bad for me to eat, long before I got diagnosed. I never liked it. I have a coffee grinder that is used only for the bird food I grind, but I never thought about the dust. I guess I'll be getting masks and doing a lot of hand washing. I only grind once a month and I always wash my hands after feeding...

    I rechecked all my meds today and I think the vitamin D I was prescribed DOES contain gluten, or at least I know it's used in the factory. So I ditched that. I'll get an OTC one if I have to. I did read the newbie info but at the time it was so overwhelming. I will read it again! I checked all shampoos and makeup, but then it's really hard to tell...

    I'm not noticing any healing, but I haven't had any new blister things since last week, The constant raging fire has died down a bit and tends to only get riled up if I am hot or I exert myself, so that's good. However, I think I am getting cross contaminated somehow. Either that, or I am developing some other intolerance. For a few months the bloated...

    I don't think I can take Dapsone. I am allergic to sulfur. Isn't it sulfur based?

    Oh,and the puppy WILL be a beast. He's not at all fully grown and he's 110 pounds. We are guessing at least 130, probably 140. He loves to run and hike and swim. He was in the Ohio River last weekend, just swimming around and having a good old time, even after a good hike and playing with the niece and nephew. He swam and swam, chasing after the balls...

    I'm not going to try to figure it out. I am not going to try to figure it out. Repeat. I promise. I said that because normally, a burning insanely itchy part on one side usually follows withing hours on the other. And that was at 3pm today and I still haven't felt it. I try so hard not to be stressed. It's just my husband and I and out menagerie...

    Thank you! That pic was a year ago; he's now a 110 pound lap dog, but he responds fantastic to his training. We got a puppy because our house is tiny and we have three rescue parrots, and we have no way to close off their room. We have to have a well trained dog so the parrots are never in danger. Once we move, we are considering contacting rescue groups...

    Nope. The puppy is full blooded rottie, German style. That's my husband's favorite dog, so that's what we have. He's a super sweetheart. He's a black and rust, and our ten year old girl is black and tan. She's having hip issues really bad. I just wanted to report that the Pepcid/steroid mix is somewhat working. My hair is a greasy mess at the crown...

    That's my rottweiler. He was a baby in that picture but is now just over a year old and is 110 pounds. There's no way her son's symptoms just disappeared in ONE day. In my case, my big D did stop once I eliminated gluten, but it took several weeks for the joint pain (I still get it sometimes) and headaches to let up. I still have several other problems...

    I need to look up what foods have iodine. We use sea salt here, but if it's in other foods, I'm uneducated. I swear the towel turban is awesome. I might have slept that way last week...

    My head IS pretty raw. I've been known to wet a towel in cold water, wrap it around my head turban style, and wedge a sandwich bag of ice inside it for relief. I might have to wait on the salts. Up until I was 36 or so I wasn't allergic to anything other than sulfa. Then, suddenly, I became allergic to everything. I am a horror when it comes to surgery...

    Yikes! Anaphylaxis is BAD. I carry Epi-pens due to other allergies, but I certainly don't want to use any of them. My endocrinologist did tell me that if things don't settle for me soon, I'd need to go on the elimination type diet. He said (due to the large swollen knots behind my ears) that I might have an autoimmune firestorm going on due to extreme...

    That explains why he sat there for some time. I am allergic to sulfa. And latex and stainless steel and most sutures and almost all adhesives. And stinging flying insects. I mentioned to him that I had read about a drug that might help that starts with a D and he sat down and at the computer (where my allergies are clearly stated) and looked quite upset...

    Hey all - I was newly diagnosed in April, and I went completely gluten free a few days later (with some mistakes at first, but I am learning a whole lot here!). The rash that was used to confirm my blood panels is DH but I never received any treatment for it, despite that I have had it for 13 months now. It is on my scalp. Instead of getting better...
  18. Doorknocker
    I'm a new Celiac (just diagnosed in April) but I can tell within 40 minutes if I ingested something with gluten. Luckily it's only happened to me three times, but today was by far the worst. We ate breakfast out at a place I wasn't exactly comfortable with. I need to learn to speak up more, I guess. I left the restaurant and got some things out of my...
