Does This Look Like Dh To You?

You are absolutely right it will help someone else. There were many times I sat there in the dermatologists office crying and saying that my migraines were connected to the face sores...and my "fibromyalgia" is worse when the sores are there. And I would say "These sores are burning my brain." They would just shake their head and tell the PA who was standing there wanting to help, "She is a skin picker. We call it neurotic excoriation." Then he would turn to me and say, "You see how you are scarring your skin?" and walk out of the room. I was angry because I knew he was wrong but I couldn't explain it. None of it made sense until you look at what Celiac is and what it does. Then it all made sense. My sores didn't look like classical DH either. I'm so glad he brought a few PA's in to look at yours. You probably saved a lot of lives and spared a lot of people misery by letting them see the way your DH presents. Thank God that Dr. recognized your DH.

      I have written to them about sharing details of the lab that does testing for them. That way I can at least know the contamination threshold the lab tests for. For I had written to GFCO in regards to another brand that GFCO told me they do not have the info on the testing threshold for contamination on individual brands. They let the companies set that for themselves. Anyway, I am going to try La Tourangelle and see if that works.

      From their email: “rely on analyses that confirm gluten is not detected” This means that they do testing.

      Jsingh and RMJ, I am having very similar thoughts as yours regarding the safety of the GFCO and other certifications. What I have started to do is contact the companies of those GFCO products that I use and asking if their product is produced on lines that also process gluten containing products. Sadly, many GFCO certified companies ARE using the same lines as gluten containing products. I get a canned response of "we take safety seriously and ensure that all lines are properly cleaned", but as we've seen from the Moms Across America testing, that is not the case. As of right now, I am only using GFCO certified products that are made in dedicated gluten free facilities (which isn't very many). I know we get the response of, it's too expensive to have dedicated lines or facilities, but sadly at this point the certifications mean nothing. Until GFCO stops the marketing ploy money grab and truly makes some testing and auditing changes, I don't trust them one bit.
