Hi All, I searched the forum earlier and realized there was a celiac discussion that went on here about a year back.
I've just got some questions not answered by the previous thread.
Has anyone out there got dermititis herpetiformis, the skin variant of CD? (i.e. no GI symptoms but just the rash that appears?) If so, how do you deal with it?
How do you guys handle going out to eat? Travelling for races? Staying in hotels with others on the other side of the world? Social situations and events ?
I've yet to be diagnosed (appt next week), but my rash is responsive to diet (i.e is clearing with no gluten) and my physician and dietitian friends think I'm bang on with my suspicions.
I'm almost a dietitian (1 more yr), so I know the ins and outs of what is and isn't allowed, but textbook/clinical knowledge is nothing without experience. So I leave that to you...
Many thanks!
