Dermatitis Herpetiformis is an autoimmune skin condition that is actually a type of celiac disease caused by a genetic sensitivity to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. According to the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology: “The rash is caused when gluten in the diet combines with IgA, and together they enter the […]

  • Q - Thank you so much for posting this photo on your blog. I found it through a google search and now plan to have a blood test ordered for my daughter. She's had 'skin crud' for weeks and it sure looks like many photos connected to secondary Celiac symptoms. Yikes! ReplyCancel

  • Anonymous - Hi,

    I'm so glad I found this blog post! A few months ago I started a gluten free diet, since nothing else was helping what I thought was psoriasis on my scalp. I looked up dermatitis herpetiformis on medical websites and saw descriptions of painful blisters. I had itchy, sometimes painful scabs several places. I guess I only noticed anything was wrong after I'd scratched myself enough to end up with scabs! I'm sure I have celiacs (based on a whole range of changes since going gluten free) but seeing other people describe DH as itchy scabs, not blisters!ReplyCancel

Mariel and Chloe are two young bloggers who are staying in Vermont next door. I took a look at TWO EGGS IN SNOW and ChloeKillwell–their blogs– and seeing their artsy, edgy* West Village lives made me feel SOOOOOOOO old and reasonable and linear. Which is funny, because if you know me, you know that I […]

  • Betsy - I made the chocolate chip cookies the other day. They were a huge hit with my guys and were gone in a matter of hours! I loved that it did not have that many ingredients and was so easy to make.ReplyCancel

  • Cherie - I'm a new reader to your blog and would love to try the mixes out.

    My son is completely GFCF and hasn't found a sweet treat that he likes yet.

    FYI: I googled my son's nutritionist (Kelly Dorfman) and found your blog. :)

  • Kim - I would love to try them — they sound delish and easy — a winning combo in my book. Thanks for having the contest.ReplyCancel

  • Betsy - Haven't tried the cookies yet (can't wait!) but we made the chocolate cake (as cupcakes)…I was wondering what we would bring in to school to celebrate my son's 9th birthday. No one would ever know these cupcakes are gluten free. I think they are better than regular cupcakes. Yumm!!!

  • Jennifer - We have tried the cookies, brownies, and yellow cake. All are good, but I love the brownies. The cookies and brownies taste like regular wheat flour desserts. Our stores don't carry the chocolate for some reason, and I've been dying to try. Thanks!

I found this on dermatology.about.com: “Chronic hives are also associated with thyroid disease – hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. An infection with the yeast, Candida albicans, is also associated with chronic hives. All of these conditions should be ruled out. Skin testing is of variable benefit since people with hives tend to react positively to most agents […]

  • Hives - Hives is also called nettle rash or Utricaria. It is a skin disease which is very itchy with red patches. It is caused by flea bites, usually from fleas on domesticated animals like cats, dogs or wearing ill fitting clothes or reaction to certain animal forms or excessive sweating. One can get relief from itchiness by applying calamine lotion, aloe Vera based creams, ice packs and frequent showering, swimming in pool will help a lot.ReplyCancel

  • Jade - The first month I started taking bovine capsules , I started seeing results in my body and major improvements in my attitude as well due to my weight loss. I would recommend desiccated bovine thyroid capsules to anybody who is having difficulty losing weight.ReplyCancel
