Oh man Kelly, I know what you mean about the lifestyle change. My husband was allergic to milk and eggs when we started dating and throughout the first several years of our marriage. He finally inexplicably “grew” out of them, but cooking at our house was quite a challange for a while.

I’ve just been told to avoid eggs, dairy, gluten, etc. etc. I was also told use a rotation diet. This is a huge lifestyle change! I’m welcoming any advice! Thanks.

I am wheat and gluten intolerant and I had no idea that Gluten was in barley! I have been making home made soup and barley is one of the ingredients that I use.
Thanks for this insight.

Thanks Rosey for your story. It gives a different perspective of symptoms, and shows just how varied gluten intollerance symptoms really are.

My story is a little different. I wish I could say that I lost a lot of weight, but I didn’t. About 5 years ago, I first noticed something was wrong when I started getting little blisters on both elbows, both knees, and (embarrassing) both cheeks, if you know what I mean. And did they ever itch. I would stand in the show and use a scrub brush to scratch them, sometimes until they bled. After a few months, I went to a dermatologist to find out what was going on. He diagnosed me with dermatitis herpetiformis, which was a gluten intolerance (not near as painful as celiac, but no fun neither). He took a biopsy from my elbow and told me to come back in a week for confirmation and treatment options. In the meantime, I did my own research at home online. What I found out was that most doctors send you home with a prescription for dapsone, which is a drug they use to treat leprosy and which takes forever to read the side effects. Not good! What I also learned was that all you need to do is to quit eating wheat, barley, and rye. When I went back the following week, sure enough, I was sent home with my prescription of dapsone (which is still stuck to my bulletin board). I just watched what I ate, read labels, changed my diet and the blisters cleared up in a week or two. I was very careful what I ate for about 3 years, but since then, I have been able to eat a little bit of wheat occasionally without symptoms recurring.
