Could This Be Dh In Child? Not Really Itchy...

That looks exactly like my son's DH, especially those little craters where he has scratched off the tops. 

 

I know exactly the frustation of trying to figure out what's going on. What we did, was take our son off gluten to see if the tummy aches would get better. Tummy aches stopped immediately and the rash started healing. That was great information and it gave me something to go with when I went to the doctor. The trouble with that was we had to get him back on gluten for a full 12 weeks before we could do any testing. So most people would tell you for that reason, to not go off gluten at all until you a diagnosis. 

Thanks - it's nice to know I'm not way off track! Lol! We have never put him on a gluten-free diet so I'll probably try to get a biopsy before we eliminate it. A 12 week challenge would suck! I appreciate your input :)

Just an update - we have had my son on a low iodine diet and his rash seems to be clearing up. It's difficult to know what's what as his rash seems to flare up and then improve on its own for no apparent reason. It never seems to fully go away though (except when he was on prednisone). We'll get him back on iodine and see what happens!

Wow...what an improvement!

 

And I hear you on finding it difficult because the rash flares up and improves for no apparent reason sometimes. That drives me crazy! 

 

Keep us posted if anything happens after adding iodine back.

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      But knitty kitty, if OP does have celiac disease, why aren't her symptoms in abatement after practicing the gluten free diet for four years? If the OP was a refractory celiac, you would think the biopsy wouldn't be clean.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Many people dignosed with Celiac need to have their Gall Bladder removed from years of Celiac symtoms distroying our organs. Also NSAID (Liver disease) also associated with Celiac as everything you eat and drink is filtered by your Liver. So this is not uncommon; seeing more and more of Liver disease on the increase.

      The most comprehensive book for Celiac is writtin by Dr Peter Green  "Celiac a hidden Epidemic".  Dr. Green is one of the leading Celiac doctors in the country and research also.  His book is well written and is easy to understand. I refer to it as my Celiac Bible. Your local library may have a copy or It is also sold on Amazon .  He has an updated version also; but I have not had a change to read it yet. There is also one "Celiac for Dummies".  If your have kids with Celiac, it makes it simple to know what they are dealing with.  But it is still an Adult book. And this site is wonderful.  Scott has helped the Celiac community so much and you can rely on his responses. GIG.net will keep you informed about the labeling laws.  Summer camp for Kids with Celiac and so much more.
