Bahumbug.... /incoming rant, be warned...

I dispise GERD at times. I took a nap without my incline pillow... and i woke up with GERD starting to act up. Thinking it might just be due to me not eating for a few hours, I decided to eat the rest of my soup. Uhuh... yeah.... well it didn't like it. So here i am with indigestion (luckily its not bad enough for my stomach acid to visit the back of my throat).

Its annoying at times.

I wish it would just go away for good, ya know? I hate waking up like that (was watching the news and fell asleep, bad idea). It could be worse. Right now its just plain annoying.

I mean before, when i had no clue what it was, it would freak me out, but now? Nope, natta, zip. Just an annoyance.

/end rant

I'm sure i'm not the only one that feels this way.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Has any doctor suggested taking a round of Dapsone?  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, dapsone will clear it fairly quickly.  It is not a drug you would want to take forever, but when all else failed my doc had me take it as a way to determine if it was dermatitis herpetiformis.  Sure enough it worked like a miracle and itch stopped and after 2 months the rash cleared.  Then I embarked on figuring out how to eat to avoid the breakouts.  It is my understanding that once you expose to gluten, the reaction happens and antibodies are deposited in your skin.  They can blister right away or hang around for a long time and get "activated" by other things like your monthlies, pressure, stress etc.... It makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to manage.

      Best apps for people with celiac

      I use an app called Spoonful where you can scan labels and it will tell you whether it is safe, questionable (and why) and also something you can substitute.  It also makes it easier to see what is on the label.  There are some ingredients that I avoid in addition to gluten. You can also search the app by a category.  I just searched on "cosmetics and a few things popped up as compliant.  I think the app is mainly focused on food.  When I first started out reading labels was a nightmare and it took me so much time at the store.  This app has really helped me when I am looking at something new.  They update frequently, and if something isn't in their data base there is an AI function where you can enter the information from the label and it will analyze it right away for you. I have used an app called Find Me Gluten Free in the past when I am traveling to find restaurants.  People's reviews are very helpful because even when a restaurant claims to be able to accommodate, often people will find out differently and they report it on reviews. Hope this helps.
