Woman With Dh

Hi there, I'm sorry but I have to ask this. I think I have noticed something about my DH and my monthly cycle. It seems to start to itch just before and then I break out on days one and two (and sometimes longer). It's not bad enough I have my "friend" as my mother loves to call it, I seem to always have a breakout too. Does this happen to anyone else? Did it get better as time passess and you are gluten free longer? :huh:

Again, sorry, I just don't know who else or where else I can ask this question.... thanks for your help.

I have never noticed a break out especially at that time of the month. I am on the pill and I wonder if that has anything to do with it... the hormone levels are a little more controlled. I'll have to let you know when I go off of them once and for all in a month or so! :rolleyes:

Yes, please let me know...This is silly how much I am breaking out. It's only been a month gluten-free but I am not clearing up at all!

If your DH is really bad, it may take a while to clear up. I know I first noticed less spots but it did take quite a while to heal all the way. I still get occasional spots here and there but NOTHING like what it was before. Hang in there, it will get better with time, I know how awful it can be!

Most definately do!!

I still do not know why it does this but it is awful. I've been gluten free for a few months and still break out pretty bad. :-(

Every monthI try desperately to NOT eat iodized salt and sugar. I do it anyway because I have horrid pms and cravings.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
