    I am not a doctor and cannot see your rash, but what you describe sounds nothing at all like the DH I had. IMO, you need to see a dermatologist who knows about DH, not a naturopath. And others are right, it's actually highly unusual for DH to get better or disappear right away. It can disappear quickly on dapsone, but takes weeks and months on the gluten...

    If your family is like most there are folks who won't really accept it and certainly wouldn't be tested if you don't have an official diagnosis. My family got tested because I was SOOO ill and because I was highly positive. I was never much concerned which side of the family it came from, though. richard

    Basically the regular Hormel chili with beans is gluten-free but the others are not. richard

    ARCHIVED I Did It!

    Glad you feel good AND that you took this step, but I hope you also learned that you HAVE to question everything. And the server absolutely must check with the kitchen. I don't like doing it, either, but it's necessary. richard

    I'd eat it. richard

    My psoriasis started AFTER I went gluten-free. richard

    I absolutely agree with getting away from the bread/toast jobs because there's just no way to avid inadvertent gluten, but you definitely were not absorbing bread or toast through your pores or skin. It's simply not possible. richard

    What she said. Mine went away almost immediately but that appears to be highly unusual. Weeks to months to even more than a year is more normal. richard

    Caramel is not a gluten concern. bit I n't say why it would bother you. I also don't worry about drug companies when they hedge about a product. If they tell me the formula is not supposed to contain gluten, that's pretty much all I need to know. I don't pay attention to their CYA. Where did you see about 3 new Robitussin products with gluten? Which ones...

    My mother once fervently believed that she was allergic or sensitive to MSG. She eventually realized that she had been getting MSG without realizing it and without reacting and that her paranoia about it was based on nothing. She now doesn't worry about it and at age 80 is fine. richard

    You should talk to folks at other places. The VAST majority of BBQ I've found has been gluten-free. richard

    Redbridge is gluten-free so it shouldn't be gluten causing the problem. Even if there's a small amount of contamination, it would be so incredibly tiny there's be now way in heck to measure it. I've had Redbridge, New Grist, Bards and Greens with no problem. Also had hard cider. richard

    I didn't develop psoriasis until AFTER I went gluten-free. richard

    I know that doctors aren't always helpful, but if you haven't seen yours with these returning symptoms, you should. These are some serious symptoms that might not even be related to what you're eating. richard

    There's a difference between a topical allergic reaction and celiac or DH. I don't think anyone would deny that someone who is allergic can have a reaction to touching wheat. I had DH for 20 years before I was diagnosed with celiac. Blisters, itching, the whole thing. I have absolutely no reaction whatsoever to touching gluten, although I do it as little...

    Usually you can turn those things up high enough to nearly freeze stuff. They can get just as cold as full-size ones, although just like full size ones you can get ones that don't work as well. But if you're still worried, partial freezing can work, as well. richard

    Somebody might know more than I about Lynchburg, but in most places both Kroger and Walmart have added more gluten-free foods since this thread started four years ago. Also check out any organic places. A gluten-free store near Forest, Earth Munchies, didn't make it and closed in July. Close to there on U.S. 221, there's a place that has gluten-free pizza...

    Plenty of candies are gluten-free. No reason to be sad. richard

    I wouldn't automatically suspect celiac simply because a child has eczema, especially if the mother doesn't have it. As for testing, not reliable for a child that young. richard

    I'm sorry, folks, but I mean, really? Don't we already have enough to fret about with celiac and CC and other food intolerances without bringing up some off-the-wall allergy? richard
  21. lovegrov
    Without reading any of the literature or researching it, my understanding is that people with Type I are more likely than most to have celiac, not that you're more likely to develop Type I if you have celiac. Glad you told your fiance. richard

    It's bull. Richard

    I'm going to have to agree that for virtually everyone with celiac, distilled vinegars and canola on a grill is just not something to worry about. I would use the grill -- and I did use our grill -- after a cleaning. richard
  24. lovegrov
    What a miserable way to eat. Why would you want to do that when there are so many safe things to have? richard
  25. lovegrov
    I know folks without celiac who have the same thing with Nyqui and Benadryl. And some folks simply have a high resistance to pain meds. Pretty hard to pin it on celiac. richard
