About a month ago I had a blistery rash between a couple of my toes on both feet. It spread on to the top of my foot but not too far. I assumed it was Athlete's foot, even though I had never had this before. All the Lotramin and foot powder in the grocery store did not get rid of it. When I got a rash on the heels of both hands I figured out it was Poison Ivy!

Discussing celiac disease with people at work I had this light bulb moment - could it be DH. My mother's twin sister was dx 50 years ago and I have a niece with celiac disease (DM at age 9 and celiac disease at age 15).

Anyone have any similar symptoms - ideas. I do not know if it is in my head or not but I feel itchy all over sometimes.

Any help appreciated.

Marilyn

It could be. You should be screened because of the family history.

Some people have said Vic's vapor rub is better for athlete's foot than the Lotromin products. :blink:

I think I am feeling the same thing. I keep breaking out on my feet and legs, and sometimes I itch all over. I don't know what it is either, so I guess I can't be of much help. But if there are two of us, it can't just be in our heads, right? :huh:

I am going to eat gluten (maybe I just had my last pizza) today and tomorrow and then get in for a blood test. I am sure my M.D. will not want to do it based on the rash so I am going to lie and say I have the typical GI symptoms. Given that if I come back with a negative I am going to consider the genetic testing.

Thanks for the response - I cannot believe it took a month to make the connection. I have not been dx with celiac but facilitate a support group as part of my work (partly begun because of my family history). One lady talks about feeling itchy on her scalp.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
