Hi! Well, I'm not happy that I have to join here :rolleyes: , but I'm glad this is here as a resource. I'll work on my signature in a bit, but my name is Christine and I'm 35, I live in NJ with my husband and 2 kids. I figured out I needed to go gluten-free after I finally figured out that my 4 year old twins needed to be gluten-free. I'm also DF (most of the time :ph34r: ) My daughter also has a dairy sensitivity, and my son has sensitivities to dairy and soy (protein, oil & spy lecithin seems OK) and an anaphylactic allergy to tree nuts.

The tree nut thing is what kills me, because many of the gluten-free products out there are possible contaminated for him, so I rarely buy anything that isn't safe for everyone - except my Soy Dream chocolate ice cream B) .

Anyway, I thought I'd say hi before I started replying to anyone's posts :) .

Welcome from myself as well. I've personally found this site and its members to be most valuable. I guess the joining requirement helps keep this site open, and free for us to use and benefit from. Well worth the price IMHO :)

Welcome! I initially didn't feel happy about this whole thing either, but now I recognize the blessing it really is. This forces you to eat fewer processed foods and more whole foods, so you eat so much better than the majority of the people in the country that once you get healthy, you are probably healthier than they are. I know that I generally feel better than other people my age because I'm more in touch with what my body tells me and I eat food that's good for me.

There are a lot of different people here who have found out about their gluten intolerance in different ways and are at different stages of healing. Many have other allergies/intolerances, so there's always someone who can identify with your situation. There are also varying opinions on ideal diet (subject of another current thread) and how to handle situations, so you can read them all and decided what's best for you.

Welcome!

My question is ,the longer someone like myself has been following a strict gluten-free diet will the exposure to gluten be lot more extreme as body now has been free of it well over a year ? Any information be much appreciated and any tips on how to stop the constant diarrhoea I have currently also be appreciated guys x

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.
