Nervous About Test


Analisa

Recommended Posts

Analisa Rookie

Hello Everybody,

Ok I'm starting to get really nervous :unsure: and I just wanted to ask you all your opinions'. I have an appointment with a dermatologist in three days and I am requesting a test for DH. Here's my question I break out on my back, inner arms, and thighs with these little red, sometimes p%$#@#, bumps. I haven't been eating gluten (consistently/intentionally) for a few months now. So I only get bumps sometimes-like with iodine, which I just found out about anyway- should I intentionally gluten myself to get bumps for the test?

Also the bumps go away for the most part, except on my back. They have been there for a long time. I don't have acne- at all. So I don't think these bumps would be acne but I'm afraid that is they are and the doc will biopsy that instead of the DH (if that is what it is). So I guess my question is also could these bumps be acne?

The bumps are red, pointy, sometimes itchy, but not constantly. And when/if they fade they leave this purple after mark. They are all over the back of my neck and are not mirrored. What do you all think?

That's for your time and I would appreciate any advice you have.

Ana :)

Im not going to be much help, except in telling you I have the same thing, My upper legs and arms are bumpy, sometimes more times than others. My family always told me they were ingrown hairs. But I beg to differ. They can be itchy, sometimes they are sore. I try not to pick because they will leave scars. Sooo your not alone. I am waiting for my sprue test results hoping this is related to my food allergy.

don't be nervous.. more times we make ourselves nervous over something not even worrying about.

talk soon and let us know

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
