Re: just diagnosed with celiac and yeast and milk allergies --Need Help badly!

[Guest guest]

> Hi. I have been able to find a lot of info on gluten products, etc.

but am having a hard time figuring out all the things that might have

yeast in them and also milk. I read somewhere that they even put

yeast in some medicines to bulk them up. Does anyone else here have

these two allergies and how did you find the info and recipes and so

forth to deal with this? Also, how long after you stopped eating

gluten did you find that you felt better? One more question --- I

also have the dermatitis from gluten. Does anyone know if milk and

yeast would affect the dermatitis or is it just from gluten? Soon

after I stopped eating gluten, the rash got better but then it came

back again and is now healing up once again. Is this normal? Thanks

for any help that you can give me. Jeannebosman

I think all Namaste Foods mixes are both GF and dairy free, and

probably yeast free as well. Check https://www.namastefoods.com/ for

more info.

If you make a mistake, possibly even small ones, the

DH will come back.

The other thing that will affect the DH is iodine. For

a while avoid iodized salt and shellfish (along with

any other source of iodine you see). Once the iga

deposits under your skin are gone, you can return to

eating iodine.

Thanks, Rick. I never even thought about iodine. I have so much to

learn about all of this. A question about posting a response to

someone---- I am writing my reply on the bottom of your e-mail but

when I send it, it doesn't show up on the board underneath the

message you sent me. Am I doing this right?

Thanks.

I can see where this would be really frustrating and feel like a

devaluation of what you are going though. I sometimes feel like I

have a foot in each world. I am a big time mama bear of a GF child,

but I am also a very reticent and conflict-avoidant individual who,

just out of sheer terror and reflex, would probably say exactly what

those individuals did. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying

that it may have less to do with you and what you are going through

than it does with those individuals and their own comfort levels.

I have always been the person that will eat what they bring me, even

if it's terrible. An excruciatingly horrible serving of spanikopita

I was subjected to several years ago has even become a recurring

family joke (-: I thought that, once my daughter went GF, I would

feel more comfortable being the squeaky wheel at a restaurant. You

know what - I still don't. Unless we're going somewhere cookie

cutter like McD's, I just make GF food for her ahead of time and take

it. I just don't feel comfortable grilling waitpersons. Partially

because I am a coward, partially because I don't feel like giving

people a short course in the issue every time I eat out, and

partially because I don't trust every waitperson out there to be

honest with me. When my daughter gets older, she may elect to make

different choices. And I'll need to suck up my discomfort and

support her in that. But by then, I will have had a lot of practice

at this and a lot of time to think. The whole thing is just as new

to the people around you as it is to you, so hopefully in the long

run, you guys will be able to arrive at some type of

restaurant " script " in which they feel comfortable and you feel

supported. But as I said above, I wouldn't assume that they are

being dismissive of your condition with their reaction, as intensely

frustrating as the experience was, I am sure.

Take care!
