Hi I had the initial blood work done and it was neg . But , I'm told if you have the DH rash a good % won't show up . This is my rash ..I thought my dog gave me poison oak ...I took prednisone for 4 days . And now I know a biopsy would be neg . ( I'll let my derm know on tue ) I'll spare you any pics of my bottom lol ... The bumps on my bottom don't itch like my arms and face do , does that mean it's not DH?

Hi I was wondering if this looks like a DH rash to anyone? I know it has so many variations . I am so frustrated....  I had a neg blood test and honestly when this started popping up I thought my dog gave me poison oak. My doc gave me prendisone for a 5 day span, it took care of the spot around my eye (on set it burned more than itched) but, I have this on my bottom as well ( i will spare you any photos lol ) however , that particular area does not seem to itch half as bad as my arms , neck , face or legs does that mean its not DH? . I go see my derm on tue morning (i will let him know that the meds will give a false neg) . thanks for any info.

Yes, it does but there are lots of rashes that look alike. What you have said about the way the rash acts is more telling & it could very well be dh. The fact that it doesn't itch as bad on your bum does not mean it isn't dh.

It is possible, although not common to have an allergic (histamine) reaction to the DH reaction. Two separate things, even if simular.

Mitchgam, will you please stop!? One of the rules on this forum is that things posted must be able to be backed up with scientific evidence. You have consistantly refused to show any scientific studies showing the things you allege. On top of that, you refuse to read any of the studies I and others have posted that prove you are wrong in almost everything you say about DH. We are here to HELP people, not to give them myths and bogus information!

Mitchgam, you have indicated before that your issue is a wheat allergy.  That is a completely different issue than celiac disease and DH.  Therefore, your advice is not going to apply to most people who are only having Celiac Disease/DH problems.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
