Thanks for all the useful information. I'm sure it will help. So far I'm adjusting well with the gluten free diet, and I've been eating mostly meats and vegetables, with rice cakes for snacks. Didn't realize how good they actually ar. I've been eating 2 plain rice cakes with peanutbutter between them instead of peanut butter sandwiches, they're pretty...

I've had DH for over 3 years now, but didn't know it because my doctor didn't tell me till just last week. Was just formally told by my doctor that is what my skin issues are.
