Hi. I have been gluten-free for about a year. The rash is HORRID. :angry: No biopsy was done right, and no doctor has known what to do---though I have spent lots trying. :unsure:

For the first time, reading these blogs, I have hope of somehow finding the answer. :) I don't know anyone else either who has this rash, so it is nice to have this place to learn and share.

Thanks to all of you out there trying to find the 'cure' with me. I would love to wear a shorter skirt, or deck pants, or---beyond my imagination right now---a swimsuit.

Thanks again. Am going to try the med. suggested that my doctor will have to check out and call the company direct.

stay warm.

Martha, if you have been on the diet for a year and still have active lesions you have gluten sneaking in somewhere. Before going on a med please recheck all you are eating, make sure you are not getting CC'd in your kitchen, check all scripts and supplements and also check all your toiletries and lotions etc. If you have DH and are completely gluten free the outbreaks should stop without meds.

Hi, Although you could be correct in your anwser to Martha, it is NOT necessarily true the the DH rash will stop when gluten is eleminated. Even if you are perfect on your diet and environmental items, the dh rash CAN appear. This was explained to us at the Center for Blistering Skin Diseases in Boston, Ma. run out of Baptist Hospital.

Good luck!

      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.

      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!

      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.

      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

      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?
