Thanks for all the replys. My doctor mentioned a steriod but we were both reluctant to try that just in case it is chicken pox. Stomach aches are my main symptom, the bathroom issues are more just not right (fat, weird colors). They've evened out since gluten free but still not normal so it's kind ...

Dermatitis herpetiformis or chicken pox?

Hello,
So I've been on this gluten free diet for about 3 months or so, with a few slips ups here and there. I forgot and accidently ordered some fries that weren't gluten free and then my stomach hurt a bit the next day or so, but I haven't had any gluten since. The next evening I came down with a ...

She had stopped eating and after the first bunch of tests they found nothing wrong so recommended hypoallergenic food and tada she's back to eating. The vet was very nice and she was cured in less time then it takes to get a GI appointment ...

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I'll have to stop the gluten (I already don't eat dairy), it's just hard to do when you don't know for sure it will work, but really anything to make me feel better. I really hope it works, fingers crossed. Thanks again.

Newbie here, LC without D?

I just found out I have Lymphocytic Colitis, but the thing is I don't really have D. I don't have normal BMs but rarely is it more than soft and more often it's toward the other end of the spectrum. The potty problems aren't really bothersome (just kind of weird) it's the stomach aches, fatigue and ...
