When Can She Use Iodized Salt Again

My mother has Celiac and had not adhered to her gluten free diet which resulted in weight loss and an itch rash. Add to the mix at 88 years old, she just moved into a retirement community which has been very stressful. She has now resumed her gluten free diet (for @ a month) and her rash has improved. She can make gluten free choices with her meal plan, BUT cannot avoid iodized salt. Anyone know if she can resume the iodized salt without concern of the skin rash returning? Thanks.

It usually takes the antibodies a while to leave the skin. I know it isn't the answer you want to hear but it will vary with different people. If they can accomodate the gluten-free diet successfully perhaps they could use a container of noniodized salt for her food for a bit? Have you asked? They might let her bring her own to the table if they know why she needs it.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
