Rash On Belly And Itchy Skin

Recommended Posts

the back of my neck itches like crazy, I asked my husband to check for a rash and he said it's red with small red spots.

 

I have a rash on my stomach that looks like red little pin pricks all over it, it itches like crazy too. I looked up DH pictures and it looks nothing like it, no blisters. But I've read that dh comes in different forms is this true? I snapped a pic to show my GI when I go to my appointment on Friday. the fact that it's on my belly seems to be related to what I eat. I have accidently ingested gluten 2 times in the last couple weeks and I could still very well be getting cc'd

 

 Also, I am getting bruises that just seem to come from nowhere. Seriously I have 2-3 on me at a time. they are nasty looking too. very purple and noticable. I get allergy shots every week and now I get a bruise where they give me the shot and it takes weeks to heal (I've been getting shots for 6 months now and never had the bruising before)

Have your doctor check your vitamin levels. Especially K and C.  It could be DH especially if you have been glutened recently but gluten can give us many different skin problems. I get a very itchy scalp from shampoos with either gluten or soy perhaps you might want to make sure your shampoos are gluten free. If it doesn't clear up soon a trip to a derm will likely be more helpful than the GI doctor. Most GI doctors know nothing about celiac skin issues. If you think you are being repeatedly CC'd it is time to find out how so you can prevent it. By the way if your significant other is a gluten eater/drinker make sure they brush their teeth before kissing.

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...
