My eczema has been its worst for the last few days, where it's starting to blister and very aggravating.

All tests have been negative, I've also been tested for thyroid as my brother has Hashimoto's disease and experienced the same symptoms as me, but I still have no answers after all these years. 

 

This skin condition is extremely frustrating and I've noticed my OCD has been at its highest. What can I do for now? I'm so tired of this crap :(

I use to have eczema.  I remember that the MD could give me cream that would take it away, BUT it would come back with a vengeance as soon as I stopped.  I begged to be told what causes it, but it was a complete mystery to them.  My eczema went away in my 20's when I got the nutrients I needed in supplement form and used my own homemade soap.

 

If you haven't been tested for celiac, I would do so.  There are several thoughts out there that eczema is gluten related.  I am not sure if they could biopsy eczema as they do DH, but perhaps someone else will know.  If you want to test for celiac, keep eating gluten until you have a full celiac blood panel drawn and endoscopy if needed.  You must be eating gluten for the tests to be accurate.

 

I hope you find your answers and will soon be feeling better.  Did you have a full thyroid panel?  I got only the TSH which was normal, but the others showed I was borderline low.

 

Hang in there,

I had a very severe skin rash that the dermatologist said was eczema. Going gluten free has greatly improved my skin.

I did have a celiac test done and results were negative. All nutrients were at range too. Honestly, I can't remember about my thyroid test, but I think it was TSH. Guess I should ask for a full thyroid panel then. ( I just assumed a thyroid test is a thyroid test).

 

Tried a gluten free diet and dairy free too on a few occasions to which my other symptoms did somewhat subside, but eczema was still present. For now I'm back on a gluten/dairy free diet and hoping it'll calm down.

Keep a food journal to try to determine what triggers your eczema. It is allergy-related in my family where eggs, nuts and milk protein are the culprit. Triggers asthma in some.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.
