I've been working doing DoorDash for the last 4 months picking up and dropping off food.... It's amazing how much garbage people eat... but anyway   perfect job for a sick person I guess as I get to work my own hours, not physically demanding and makes pretty good money in my area....  Lots of restaurants along the Florida coastline and old people constantly ordering liquor from total whine giving me $30 tips  😂

but I once delivered a gluten free pizza to someone.. it made me wonder if they were celiac or just eating gluten free...    i wouldn't trust it though...

Another asian food place I was picking up food from offered me a menu... I told him I can't eat here because I can't eat gluten... he said we have a gluten free menu...   

no f'ing way I'd trust any of these places.

The gluten free pizza at pizza joints charger away to much for gluten free pizzas.. I found the found the frozen gluten free pizza ate better.. I miss eating Chinese food but I don't even do that anymore because of concerns of it being contaminated with gluten.. it's really hard to trust all this gluten free stuff out there cuz you don't know if it's been contaminated with gluten due to the factory it comes from. But I have eaten the gluten-free frozen pizzas and never had any issues with them I really like the cauliflower crust

Even with the burger salad at Burger King, do you know that they are not cooking the burger the same grill just used to cook some breaded thing?

And Arbys. Are the spices they use on the meat gluten-free?

You are taking macro precautions but overlooking potential sources of small amounts of gluten. I occasionally eat out at chains like you describe and take those macro precautions but only when I have no other options. I would strongly recommend you not do so by choice when there are other options like preparing food at home made from simple, fresh ingredients like fresh meat, fresh fruit and fresh or frozen vegies.

A person would need unhinged jaws like snake to be able to eat that sandwich!

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with your gastro, the most likely culprit is gluten causing your Marsh 3b damage.  Keeping a detailed food diary and eliminating foods like oats, milk/casein, soy, corn, etc., one at a time, then adding them back after a few weeks might help you pin down additional food intolerance issues. Again, depending on how long you've been gluten-free some additional food intolerance issues may go away after your gut heals, but not always.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Morgan Tiernan! I find it outrageous that your physicians refused to test you for celiac disease despite what were obviously outbreaks of dermatitis herpetiformis. Every physician should know that dermatitis herpetiformis is a classic symptom of celiac disease! In fact, celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis and because dermatitis herpetiformis has such a distinctive appearance with the pustules in the bumps they should recognize what it was. There is just no excuse for this! You do not mention having any GI distress so I'm sure they were discounting the possibility of celiac disease because of that. Anyway, one thing that might be helpful to you is to look into a low iodine diet. Iodine exacerbates dermatitis herpetiformis. There is also a med called Dapsone which is effective for dermatitis herpetiformis but it needs to be used with caution as it puts stress on the liver. So, if you were taking Dapsone you would need to have your liver enzymes checked regularly. Not every dermatologist is familiar with the correct way to biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis so I hope it was done correctly in your case. My understanding is that the samples need to be taken next to the bumps and not on the bumps. At any rate, if your biopsy is positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you have your official celiac diagnosis. By the way you spell "coeliac" I'm assuming you live in the U.K. If so, there may be some extra benefits available to you if you have an official diagnosis. Keep us posted.

      I've never had problems with quinoa but I always rinse it well before cooking in case it's processed with other grains. I think quinoa is classified as a seed. I can't eat grains at all but I can eat all seeds. Ain't the human body a pandora's box of surprises???
