Is This Dh? And How Long After Glutening?

So, I think I may have been glutened a last Wednesday or Thursday, and today - Sunday, I'm noticing a number of red spots and even lines on my forearms and the top of my back.  I've been gluten-free ever since my diagnosis in March and my follow up endo and blood work showed near full recovery of my villi.  I don't recall getting DH before dx, but i do remember random hives and welts and these lines on my back.

 

They aren't really itchy - is this DH or something else?  Is it Celiac related at all?  So odd how these just pop up, but it seems kind of late for them to show.  Is 4 or 5 days post glutening normal?

 

Thanks.

DH is generally a very itchy rash, like wanting to rip the skin off itchy. Many years after my Celiac diagnosis I now get a DH rash on my legs as part of a contamination reaction. Restaurants always seem to make me sick.

Next time you get the rash, go see a dermatologist. They can determine if it is DH or something else.

You mentioned red whelts. It might be wise to have an allergist verify you have not developed an allergic to something like foods.

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
