Gluten Free Weekend In Philly!

This weekend we went on a little trip to Philadelphia to see the Auto Show. We stayed right by the Convention Center, had dinner at Maggiano's Friday night. We couldn't get reservations until 10pm, but that was fine with us. I had the Gluten free pasta in Alfredo sauce. I was disappointed in the Alfredo sauce, it just wasn't thick and creamy.... I did get a little sick, but I feel it was probally too much dairy than gluten being that it was only some D not the rest of my gluten symptoms.

Today on our way home we made the detour to Doylestown to checkout Jules Thin Crust. I have to say I was sort of disappointed.. it's not pizza as I expected it. It was super thin crust... i know.. it's called thin crust... but this is like Jules Anorexic crust. I ate a half a pie... still wasn't full. If you go, make sure you pile on the toppings because without lots of toppings... not much to it. I probally biased... pizza to me is all about the secilian almost an inch thick soaked with sause and toppings just dressing. Besides my philisophical issues with "crust" it was ok, kinda pricy, kinda out of the way, but i didn't get sick and it was nice not to get the deer in headlights look.

Overall I had two good meals.... not overly impressed with either one but i didn't go hungry!

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
