Ursula, Thank you for replying. The more I hear from others, the more things becomes clear and confirmed. I still don't know 100% what I may be allergic or intolerant to except that I know the cracker are horrible for me to consume. If I get stuff on my skin after that, it must not be good for my body. Like you, I feel like a monster when I get those...

If you know of my post below Crakers and Acne, you see that I get bad acne the next day from eating it. It's why I suspect I don't have DH because it does not itch. At one point, I had acne purging on the side of my face everyday, and it did itch a little--I suspected it was because of the pus infections of acne. Pus and infections can itch, which is why...

What are the differences between allergy, intolerance, and sensitivity? Is there a website link you can recommend instead if you do not want to go over it here? Danna Korn suggested reading her book, which I thought I would get, but I am tight money-wise now since I am getting insurance. It seems as if food allergy tests may not be 100 percent accurate...

I have been trying to be gluten-free for about 4 days to the best of my knowledge. If I wanted a blood test done, how long will I need to be eating gluten until the appointment? 2 weeks? Do you find that the first few days it goes from better to worse to better as if it seems hopeless or does it get better only since gluten-free?

Thanks. I am going to start calling when my insurance kicks in in a few weeks or less.

About how long does it take before I see if a gluten-free diet is helping? Is there a range?

My derm takes 3 months to see. I'll see if I can contact a different dermatologist. How is a biopsy done? Does it hurt? Do you have to have skin bumps present in order to have a biopsy?

Hi, thank you for the link. I will do what I can to test the gluten levels, etc. I am not sure where I would find a good dermatologist who will see acne as DH because they don't look like blisters. However, I am seeing a patter from a picture and someone here who says that she gets DH around her mouth like I do as well I see that it runs under my chin...

Hi, there is a cracker that I didn't eat for a long time, and I ate them last week for two days straight with cream cheese and tuna. Both days, I woke up with ugly acne on my face. Like around 6 pus-filled. They do not look like blisters. It also appeared below my earlobe and between my ear and face. I almost never have acne there. I am having bumps...

Thank you for the suggestions everyone! I bought gluten-free rice pasta from the grocery store (organic section), and it wasn't bad. I am not sure what brand it is. It wasn't bad, but I sure want to make sure I try Tinkyada and other yummy breads, bagels, etc.

I am glad to help. If your best friend does not have regular bowel movements, it could cause acne and other health problems. People must have regular bowel movements either through high fiber foods or some natural form of fibers, etc. Make a salad mix of cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, etc. and squeeze orange juice over it. Have it already cut...

I went to Wild Oats to search their gluten-free breads in the freezer, but they are so tiny and weird with juice as flavors. Doesn't sound like something I wanted to buy. I like to eat tuna on a sandwich or bagel or a turkey/ham and cheese sandwhich. I like cream cheest and bagel. Where can I find real gluten-free bread? I'd love to make...

Are yeast and corn starch gluten free if there is no other ingredients listed that is gluten?
