Celiac and DH Week 7

This is day one of no coffee for me.  Yesterday eggs and dairy went off my list of foods I can eat.  Today coffee. 

Still 50 mg. of Dapsone. 

Today's food:

Breakfast:  Liver and onions with chopped broccoli.

Lunch:  Chicken Soup with kale, carrots and celery.

Dinner:  King Salmon filet and coleslaw with pineapple dressing.

Snack:  Marion berries with agave syrup
             Hersheys kisses

Exercise:  Walk to newspaper boxes and then a walk to Underwoods.

The rash is about the same as yesterday.  Still having lots of hair loss.  I have lost more than half of my hair.  Ugh! 

Very low energy this morning. Did not sleep well last night.  I took a nap from about 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. 

It's time to try the Paleo Gluten Free Diet

Breakfast this morning consisted of 3 eggs scrambled and broccoli.  Mid-morning 3 oz. of liver fried with bear lard, butter and onions.

At 11:00 a.m. my rash became more prominant even after taking my 50 mg. of Dapsone at 8:30 a.m.  My only thought is it might be from the eggs.  I have decided to eliminate eggs from my diet for the time being and also to try the Paleo Diet.  It must be lean protein, veggies and berries with fiber.

No nuts, eggs, grains, legumes or dairy at this time.  We'll see how the rash responds to this diet.  Also going coffee free.  Ugh!

My weight is the same today.  This is after exercising every day this week.  Mon- aerobics and hike to Underwoods.  Tues. hike to Underwoods and newspaper box, Wed. hike to Underwoods and newspaper box, Thurs, Hike to Underwoods, Fri. aerobics and walking.

I took another 25 mg. of Dapsone at 11:30.

Celiac and DH - Gluten Free 7 weeks

I've had this diagnosis for seven weeks now.  The DH rash has improved slightly, but it still so itchy it drives me crazy.  I'm on 50 mg of Dapsone now(week 3) with not much improvment from 25 mg.  I've decided to take more drastic measures with my diet.

Gluten Free means no wheat, rye, barley oats corn or rice.

No processed foods.  Period.

No milk products or soy products.  Almond milk only.

Honey as sweetner.

Olive or walnut oil.

Fruits and veggies allowed except corn and potatoes.  Fresh is possible.  Berries with fiber are a must.

Lean beef or pork, chicken and fish.  Tuna and salmon.  Eggs are okay for now.

Some nuts and seeds.  No peanuts.

No iodized salt and I will try to keep salt intake as low as possible.

Let's hope this helps.
