Remission?

Thanks for the quick response. I'd be surprised if that was it for several reasons. 1) I haven't had any nitrogen anesthesia, at least not for several years. It's always propofol (in the hospital) or fentanyl in a doctors office, always administered via IV. Also, dietary sources of B12 include eggs, cheese, dairy, fish, and some meats. That's basically...

First let me say that I'm a weak-minded person regarding some things Haven't been on the board in a long time, but had an interesting experience and wanted to get other thoughts on the matter. I was confirmed by endo biopsies and blood tests in 2014. I had DH for 4yrs prior to that, and no one at that time could figure it out...same tale as most...

I believe that shingles only present on one side of the body. DH is bilateral. -

ARCHIVED Positive deamidated gliadin, iga and negative ttg, iga
Lobstah replied to shellyb11482's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I travel a lot for business, so this is a constant challenge for me, and I have conversations with chefs and staff all the time. My safest bet, generally speaking, is a steakhouse. I can pretty much always get a wedge salad (check for gluten free blue cheese dressing, but at a steak house, usually made in-house), and a ribeye steak. Sometimes it... -
I make smoothies all the time... 1 cup Kefir, plain (available at most grocery stores now, in the yogurt section) 1/2 half and half fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, whatever is available (can use frozen too) 1tsp stevia. some ice, if using fresh berries Tastes like a milk shake from days gone by. p.s...

So my DH is back, and seems to have taken up a very strong defensive position firmly entrenched in all the usual spots. Much is my own fault...my wife decided for her Bday that she was going to have treats...I decided she should not have to go it alone, so I had treats too. Several great beers...and some coconut cake for dessert. Ugh. That was August...

ARCHIVED Iga Deificient With Celiac & Dh
Lobstah replied to Nolev's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Biopsy for this is pretty easy to screw up. For confirmation, my doc wanted an endoscopy, which was fine because I needed on for my Barrett's anyway. After the procedure, the GI doc said if there was any doubt in anyone's mind before, it was now officially diagnosed with 0% chance that I did NOT have Celiac. In fact, I'm getting ready to get on the... -
ARCHIVED Venice, Sarasota And Tampa, Florida...where To Eat?
Lobstah replied to icelandgirl's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
Having dealt with this for awhile now, and with both of us being pretty good cooks...we are well aware of the cost of ingredients and "healthy" foods... BUT We buy and prepare these ingredients all the time. I just feel like that's an obvious overcharge...but hey, that's just me. I wouldn't have gone near Chic Fil A either...but based on your comment... -
ARCHIVED Venice, Sarasota And Tampa, Florida...where To Eat?
Lobstah replied to icelandgirl's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I just looked at the link for the bakery...Holy ...are you kidding with those prices? Yikes. An 8X8 pan of brownies is $13?...9X13 is $24? I'm in the wrong business. Life must be good down there in Sarasota I live North of there in Dunedin. Small town. We only have 1 gluten free spot, Serendipity, but the restaurant community as a whole is pretty... -
The restaurant we went to had Fried Calamari...with RICE FLOUR...as in freakin GLUTEN FREE Fried Calamari!!! As a Mainah, I do miss fried seafood...so that was a BIG hit.

It's not too bad. Almost worth the tradeoff for such a wonderful meal. Can't wait to go back But WON'T be having paella...lol This is probably the least/slightest breakout I've had for awhile. Peaked on Sat night, started dropping off a bit by last night, and not bad today at all. We went out for sushi awhile back, forgot to bring the bottle...

Well...got glutened last Friday. Funny how two people who are BOTH rabid regarding my food intake can still get fooled. We went out to eat at a very nice restaurant...I would rate a solid 8.5-9, and that's rare for us to go that high. We informed the waiter of my Celiac condition when we were seated, and had him ask the chef about several different things...

ARCHIVED To Anyone Looking To Get A Dx Of Dh (A Skin Biopsy)
Lobstah replied to squirmingitch's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Biopsies are one way of diagnosing. I've been diagnosed, but never had a biopsy of a lesion done. My understanding is that it must be taken adjacent to a lesion, and that this is one of the reasons that SO many tests come back negative...person doing the biopsy didn't know it had to be done beside, not IN the lesion.
