I frequently get an insanely itchy rash on my knees, which is one of the areas DH is typically on. Here is a picture of a moderate flare-up on my knee (it gets worse than this). Opinions? Does this look like DH? 540486_10150823816231314_514286816_n.webp

it's possible, but lots of things could be possible! Can you give us some more information? When does it come? How long does it stay? What does it respond to? Does it come anywhere else? How long have you had it? Have you seen a derm?

I used to get something on my elbows and shoulders that looked exactly like that. I had two biopsies (one of the lesion and one next to it), both came back negative for DH - however I had already been gluten-free for a couple weeks at that time. All I know is that I've been gluten-free for almost two years and I haven't had it come back. I still have skin problems occasionally, but nothing to that extent anymore (knocking on wood right now). Never want to experience that again - the itching drove me crazy.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      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.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      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!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      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.
