Return Dh After 4 Months Gluten Free

For many years I had an itchy lesion on my buttock in the same place which would disappear after about a week. It recurred 1-3 times a year for many years. In about March of this year I developed a rash on a knee and elbow and after much study through the internet, I learned the connection between the rashes and all of the abdominal symptoms I had for many years. in April I was diagnosed by blood test and history with celiac disease and have been gluten free since that time. The abdominal symptons and rashes disappeared. Several of my blood levels are low and I am working on that. I have felt really good about the progress - well worth what I have given up.

Today I have the return of the itchy area on my right buttock, same spot as before. I also have had some bowel rumbling for the past day or so. I am very careful with what I eat, do not eat out and read everything on a product label. Nothing new has been added to my diet. I am somewhat concerned that maybe I am not doing as well as I thought.

Has anyone out there had this situation where you feel like you are doing incredlbly well and then have a set back for no apparent reason Thanks for any info.

Yes, I have had situations like your's. I have been gluten-free since may. I'll be going along...eating foods I make, I don't eat out and BAM I get the buttock lesion and the big D.

Currently going through that now.....am in the process of rechecking EVERYTHING in my kitchen!!!! The only thing I can think of it's cross contamination of a product...ie processed in teh same faciltiy as wheat/gluten products!!!

Good Luck!

cross contamination in gluten free grains is a possibility. Are you eating any processed crackers or any of the gluten free grains for baking?

Thanks. I feel better just knowing I am not alone in this. Do you think a biopsy of the lesion is necessary. I have been diagnosed by blood test and would prefer not but my husband seems to think I need to get a second opinion. I am fine with all of this - he is in denial. Hope I am doing this right, I have tried to reply before and it has never worked.

I have not had any grains of any kind and only baked the gluten-free bread once maybe two months ago. I guess this is just going to take tincture of time and continued watching carefully. Thanks

First of all, you may get outbreaks of DH for up to two years after going gluten-free, even if you don't get any gluten at all. The reason is, that it takes that long for the gliadin deposits under the skin to disappear.

The bowel problems could be caused by dairy, or possibly soy. It may not be gluten at all. You might have to try figuring out if you have other intolerances besides gluten.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      @plumbago on my blood tests I got 4500 and normal should be between 25-30 but they wanted me to continue eating gluten until a endoscopy was done and also biopsies taken. I’ve took it upon myself to cut gluten out today based on the research I’ve done about it during pregnancy

      If you tested positive for celiac on labwork, I would definitely give up gluten.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      I have Celiac and had a bad reaction to the regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles.  The baked ones in this flavor are apparently marked gluten-free, but watch out for the regular ones.  I wish I would have seen a post like mine, instead of one that was specifically referring to the baked chips from my google search, before I pulled the trigger.  Hopefully some day they'll require gluten disclosure on the ingredients, not just "wheat."

      I am trying to find a Celiac Dietician who works with the Celiac Disease Foundation.  They don't have to be located in my area because I can do video visits. Can anyone help with this?
