I Think I Have Dh, Anyone Know Of Any Good Doctors In Long Island, Ny?

Hey, 

I have had this rash on the fingers of my right hand for about a year now. When I first got it, it showed up a bit on my toes as well, but having it on my fingers is much more common. I've been to many doctors and no one could figure out what it is. I've done a lot of my own research and put myself on a million diets. With trial and error, a lot of error, I've come to the conclusion that a gluten free diet is the key!  My rash subsided for a few months until I accidentally consumed something I shouldn't have. Anyway, 80% of the time I have it sort of under control but recently i used a lotion on my feet that contained wheat & oats. (Dummy me, I didn't even think of lotions) Now, my toes are so riddled with blisters that putting on socks & shoes is out of the question. I have never felt a painful itch of this extreme with my fingers and now I want to know once and for all, what's going on with me. So, is there anyone out there who knows of a good doctor that can officially diagnose me on or near Long Island? Any help or info is much appreciated!

      I had a triple bypass so do not eat cheese or butter but I use avocado oil freely. Do not eat potato chips etc every night anymore instead fruit and or bowl of cereal with nut milk. Diet is much cleaner now but qty remains the same. My diet seems nutritional enough and pretty much follows: breakfast- hard boiled egg, 1/2 oz beef liver, cereal: flax, milk thistle pumpkin seed and oatmeal mixed together Lunch/dinner-  meat, chicken or salmon with potato or rice or quinoa and veggies no oil sometimes salad with dressing. Bread if needed. supper- 3 slice bread peanut or cashew butter or 5 grain cereal with nut milk, or soup loaded with rice or whatever evening- fruit maybe potato chips or cookies when I just have to do it. Ordinarily try not to keep them in house. I put on a pound or so when potato chips are eaten for couple days. I use to eat much more fat but am more careful now after bypass so suppose that makes a difference. I think small intestine might have something to do with it but was looking for confirmation.

      I recall some statistic I heard some years back, that in powdered chocolate milk there were something like 25 different stages in the production process taking into account all the ingredients.  I can see that if this is true, the more stages there are the more chances there are for cross-contamination.  Eating whole foods helps minimise or totally eliminate this risk.  It took me several years for my tTG levels to return to normal, and looking back maybe processed food could have been part of the problem.  Definitely worth trying cooking from scratch.

      I've not used their service, but it seems like a reasonable way to go if you can afford it. Let us know how it goes.

      Are you eating enough protein, fat and carbohydrates? Healthy carbs like corn tortillas, rice and beans can help you gain weight. Increasing the fat content in meals can help individuals with celiac disease feel less hungry by providing longer-lasting satiety, since fats digest more slowly than carbohydrates and proteins.

      I don't mean to scold, but none of what you're eating there is food, every single thing is a food product, which means raw food adulterated with various additives. It's at that adulteration point where various nasties that the body dislikes start to creep in. Bulking agents, colours, sugar, various gums and additives. And of course, trace amounts of gluten. If possible - and i imagine this won't be easy or cheap, but it's worthwhile - try and get more whole foods into your diet, and cook them from scratch. That means meat, fish, tolerated grains, fruit and veg. At the moment you are basically eating trash - sorry!
