Dh Rash?

I suspect i have celiac (waiting blood test results) partly because of the rash i get along with stomach trouble.

What i wanted to know is, i get a rash a few times a year (usually symmetrical) but it is usually on the front of my thighs.

It starts off a few little red bumps and although i limit my scratching, it gradually grows to about 3/4 inches in diameter. Also it tends to form a circle with the bumps being on the perimeter of the rash - the rest (the middle) is just red/purply in colour. The 'circle' gets bigger over a few days until it eventually fades away after a few weeks to return a few months later.

Can anyone relate to this?

HI, Well, this is interesting. I get something similar, but docs are not sure what it is. It get the rash on my inner thighs, both of them at the same time. They are red bummpy and itch and expand in diameter too. Usually, each time a different script is given to me. I don't know what it is either. But I have started to read more about dh on this board to see more information about it.

      Constantly! I don't want everything to cost as much as a KIND bar, as great as they are.  Happy most of the info is available to us to make smart decisions for our health, just need to do a little more research.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By ekelsay · Posted

      Today, I received the results of my Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) Ab, IgA test. I am not sure how to interpret the results. I have left a message for the doctor that requested the test but have not heard back. The results stated that the normal range is from 0.00 - 4.99 FLU. My results came back at 92.08. Is this concerning? This seems extremely high for someone who has reached the age of 50 before finding out he has celiac disease.  The reason that I was administered the test in the first place is due to bloating issues that started about a year ago. I met with a Gastroenterologist and after a short question and answer session she wanted to test me for celiac disease and a bacteria test via the H. Pylori Breath Test. She seemed more concerned with the fact that I am a healthy male suffering from Anemia. Is it possible the anemia could be a result of celiac disease? I have been on an iron supplement for the better part of 5 years.

      Weak positive anti-ttg igA?

      Be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all testing is completed.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      You can always to the gluten challenge later, after your pregnancy, should you need a formal diagnosis. I think it's best to play it safe in this case.

      Very true. I also suffered from candidiasis which had affected my intestines and toes. I think this might have triggered my gluten intolerance/celiac.
