Pediatric Dermatologist

I'm ready to take my son to the derm to have this rash looked at on his back/hips as I'm fearing that he has DH. He also has dark circles under his eyes, and complains of tummy aches a lot....

That said, I had him tested for celiac disease a little over a year ago, and it came back negative. But since I know how the testing goes, I think that having his skin looked at would be a better way to go right now. I did a gluten-free trial for a week to see if ANYTHING at all changed, and he didn't complain about tummy aches. I know that wouldn't be near enough time to clear up his skin, though.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there is are pediatric dermatologists that would be better at dealing with kids and these types of issues? Any advice you can share would be great, as I would like to go ahead and get him an appointment quickly. I asked his ped about the rash, and he told me it was eczema and to put Aquaphor on it. Tried it, didn't notice any improvement. So, at this point I'd rather take him to a derm than go back to the ped with the issue.

Thanks!

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
