    I ordered a bunch of Rancho Gordo and am still trying them out. Shipping is a flat rate, so order with a friend, to save. Cheaper than any organic or heirloom beans I can find locally at Whole foods. So far they are great.

    I had DH or eczema/psoriasis all over my neck and scalp and that has almost completely gone since going to Dessert Essence gluten free products - I think I react to all those other harsh chemicals in regular products. Redken was killing me.

    I have been asking in Atlanta for the last 6 months and no test market here...go figure. Mellow Mushrooms are everywhere in Atlanta, and when I ask, they look at me like they have never heard of gluten free pizza. Only one midtown store said they really wanted to offer it.

    I was the biggest baby and went into a depression over bread, pizza, gravy and my normal way of cooking. At first it seemed impossible. Eating out is the worst and I still get glutened. I am fine with it now, if that is what it will take to get rid of my rash. Udi's products, Homemade pizza with glutino or similar frozen crust. The expense...

    I think gas, as well as slow digestion causes mine. Mine has improved since going gluten-free. Some theories are candida, soy, diary, wheat as well as food allergies cause bloating.

    While I don't buy into the enzymes working on gluten enough to relieve an attack, these enzymes could still be useful for general digestion enzymes. Even MD's are prescribing enzymes. If one starts out slow and takes enzymes in low doses for their particular digestive issues, it might help and be worth a try for me, at least.

    From what I have been reading people respond well and some respond poorly to different probiotics and enzymes, depending on what enzymes they might be missing, what food gives them trouble, and what supplement ingredients they react to. It also seems to greatly depend on how sick you are, as well as other digestive issues.

    I have been researching this a bit. I found this site today. Open Original Shared Link There are all sorts of enzymes and probiotics for a multitude of issues. Dosage varies greatly, but easing into them is important. Enzymes can also be found thru juicing and raw foods. I think I am going to try Enzymedica gluten free (they make many types...

    Interesting about urea being aggravating - it is in a lot of lotions for dry skin.

    I got purple scars on some areas, especially in the beginning. I still have remnants of a few of the first places.
  11. Glamour
    I have some areas that look just like that. I feel prickly burning sensation before the itch begins too. That is how I know it is not a scratch first then itch syndrome that the doctors try to convince you of.
  12. Glamour
    I sympathize - I have been having bad attacks and don't know if I got glutened or if I even have DH. I just went off dairy a few days ago - again. I am also try to get 20-30 minutes of sunshine a day - I used to tan a little and had great skin. As for shampoo - I switched to Dessert Essence gluten-free Coconut Shampoo in the tube. My scalp is much...

    I bought the food for life rice flour like tortillas and they are terrible. I wonder if mine are old or something. They are like glue and cardboard. On the other hand I like the sprouted corn tortillas. All corn tortillas need a little moisture and wrapped up in foil when heating for pliability. Can quick heat them in a skillet.

    Just ok tasting. 2 of them gave me a stomach ache.

    I like Mary's Gone Crackers. Good with cream cheese type of spread or with salads, they are crunchy. Udi's bread and blueberry muffins. Ktoos chocolate cookies are ok, the vanilla ones are gritty. I like Amy's mac and cheese, as well as a few of the frozen dinners. Pamelas lemon shortbread cookies are ok, as well as the little chocolate bites...

    Glad to see you have a sense of humor about it. The last thing I care about is dating, hell its hard enough to be around friends. I am tired of explaining, and right now only enjoy folks that get it, so that it is not the topic of conversation. It does get easier, bringing your own food, researching restaurants before hand, etc. Now when I tell...

    ARCHIVED Doctor'S "Diagnosis"

    Glamour replied to Smoly's topic in Doctors

    I had terrible bloating -- looked like I was about to give birth any minute. 4 months gluten free - still have rash, but have lost 25-30 lbs, and my stomach is almost flat, and I could still loose about 5-10 lbs to be back to my normal weight and size 6/8. I don't know if I am intolerant or celiac...but wheat and gluten does not agree with me. My allergies...

    How old are you? Menopause can wreak havoc on skin and muscle tone. I am 51 and losing lots of weight and some muscle. I realized I was not getting enough protein from FOOD. As I was deleting gluten, I was not getting enough good balanced nutrition. You can also overdo working out, both cardio and weight training. Make sure you are letting muscles...

    Allergic to peanuts and oil. Wanted to try Five Guys. Many celiacs and people with food issues react to peanuts.

    I get nauseous if I use those creamers. They are so loaded with junk, who knows what ingredients are reactive. I wonder is the coconut creamers (from health food stores) are better for you, if you can't do dairy.
  21. Glamour
    I have been avoiding packaged and frozen foods as well as most soups and canned goods with a lot of ingredients. I just can't determine exactly what is in some of them and what, besides wheat, I am reacting to. I can't handle MSG, food dyes, preservatives. Packaged foods usually contain a lot of sugar and salt. Ever since I got this skin rash...

    ARCHIVED New Here

    Glamour replied to canutillomom's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Your rash sounds like mine, locations, intensity, etc. I have been gluten-free for about 4 months. My rash seems to have stopped improving. But I was insanely itching 24 hours a day. Now, I get a few hours of relief sometimes. Steroid creams become a cycle of up and down. The learning curve on the diet is pretty steep at first, because of hidden...

    What are some good gluten free salad dressings? I know trader joes has a few, and was wondering about other mainstream stores as well as some of the gourmet ones at Whole foods. Are balsamic vinegars gluten free? wine vinegars?

    ARCHIVED The Dh Rash

    Glamour replied to Glamour's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    I think detergents are a major cause of aggravation. I am about to try baby detergent, like Dreft. I double and triple rinse almost everything, and may have to step it up to every little thing. I have also been putting vinegar in the rinse when it seems the detergent is not coming out. I am trying to use as little soap as possible. Tide is the...

    I am allergic to horses, cows, most dogs, some cats, etc. I can't go anywhere near hay, animals around or not. A barn is enough to send me to the hospital. Remember allergies, eczema and other skin issues, along with asthma are often found together along with other autoimmune conditions. My DH (if it is DH) is not going away, and I keep wondering...
