And stop eating wheat for 3 weeks or so, and see what happens.
There is plenty of wheat free cake and bread mixes out there.
The kids can still eat most chocolate, potatoe chips, corn chips and you can make them cookies & cake.
Seriously, if I eat wheat, I am SICK, rashed, like itchy eczema, on arms, elbows, forhead and scalp, and generally itchy needles & pins all over.
Sometimes it can get so out of hand I end up with derma grafica, raised welts from touching anything..caused by the immunal system attacking the skin that merely had sensation (like a breeze or a comb throught the hair, or heat, or cold, sensation to the nervous system and the immunal system attacks !)
BTW: Blue Cheese cultures are grown in bulk on bread..and injected into the cheese wheels by giant hypodermic needles, that is why sometimes you get a hunk of blue cheese that has that arrow straight tunnel through it full of blue mold.
Gorganzola is the same.
Blue cheeses contain gluten.
Cut out wheat (gluten) and see what happens.
DD gets like that sometimes ... she can get bright red and puffy with hives and still have the smaller, harder bumps over that.
I'll have to try a very strict wheat-free diet with her and see if that helps. She has severe reaction to mold and actinomycete based antibiotics, so likely that blue cheese must be terrible for her.
What kind of salad dressing will taste similar to blue cheese but not have gluten? I'm aftaid if I cut-out blue cheese dressing, she won't eat greens!
You will have to go to Ranch until you can get to a health food store and see if they have phoney blue cheese OR gluten free blue chees.
Watch out for "Modifird food starch" unless it says specifically CORN or potatoe starch, and MSG..which is mono-sodium GLUTemate, and anything thickened will usually have wheat..like most all soups, all Campbell's soups anyways, I make my own now anyhow but I really really miss Campbell's cream of chicken and cream of mushroom, so souper favorites and all the recipes that I used to make with them
Shop the health food store & GF isles of Safeway & other stores, stock up on Betty Crocker GF cake mixes and most frostings are already GF..and make her alot of treats so she does not feel so crummy...and go through the kitchen and collect & hide all the foods containing wheat & gluten, so she does not accidently eat some...talk to her and get her to agree to the test, and teach her how to read a label and what gluten is: wheat, barley, and so forth.
