My 12 yr old daughter is awaiting an appt. to a derm for a biopsy on her knee. It's very very mild right now so he said to bring her in when it's flared and he will see her the same day.

It seems to itch more after a shower..we're not positive it's DH, but I think it is when I compared it to the images on the internet and her history of how long she' had it and connection with gluten.

Am wondering if it's common for it to itch more after a shower?

Its not so much itching for me but I feel it more after a shower so I always put on some of my wifes skin cream or something.

For heat made it itch more so after a shower I always put on the anti itch cream. Of course I didn't know what it was then.

      I had 2 blood tests at the same time. One negative, one positive.  No insurance coverage for endoscopy but felt MUCH MUCH better after three days gluten-free and many hair, skin, and rash issues cleared or improved in a week. It seems there are lots of false negatives in Celiac blood tests.

      Check out Sally K. Norton’s work on oxalates. She wrote a book called Toxic Superfoods. Your symptoms are similar to some of mine. Many of us with celiac disease have oxalate toxicity because of the damage to our guts. Oxalates chelates our minerals and calcium binds to oxalates. At least check out her website, it may help a lot. Good luck.

      Skinesa

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      The study you posted was done by the USDA. Not much more needs to be said about that. It only tested for one type of parasite. There are many types of parasites that are typically only found in meat. I have tried all different kinds of dairy - whole, nonfat, skim, etc. I cannot eat any dairy, no matter what kind. I have wondered about iodine. Some people claim it makes them break out more, especially with celiac. I have been toying with my diet for decades now. I am 46 years old, and have known about celiac since my early twenties. I will keep you guys posted about the Skinesa. Usually after about a week I start breaking out on probiotics. It's been 3 days so far and everything's good. I'm on Dapsone also. I appreciate all the feedback.

      My blood tests didn’t show I had Celiac’s but the endoscopy did. The test is easy and you feel nothing after, it’s basically like taking a nap. The worst part is getting the IV, which is pretty easy and basic, hopefully this helps!

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      Hello! I'm doing a gluten challenge now. I don't know how much bread to eat. There are 4-6 slices of bread a day suggested in most articles. But one slice of bread can be 25 grams or 40 grams. So when it's 25, six slices are just 150 grams. When it's 40 grams, six slices are 240 grams. The difference is huge in my opinion. Can someone recommend the dosage?
