Glutened And Dh Came Raging Back

Well it's been about 8 months since my DH improved to a level where I could live a normal life. It never really went completely away but it was way better than it was last year around this time. I've been gluten free since OCT of 2013 and the DH didn't really kick in until 3 months AFTER I went gluten free. I posted some of my story in the past so I won't go into it again.

 

I'm here today because I got glutened and my DH has exploded over the last couple days. I know it'll go away again and better days are coming but I wanted to check in with those who have had a "glutening" experience.

 

Please... Share... How did your reoccurance unfold and eventually end? I will also share mine as time goes on.

Well I guess I'll just reply here to hopefully offer a ray of light to the next person in my shoes. On the 13th it was raging, on the 16 the fluid started to subside, and by today the 19th much of the fluid has gone and the lesions and sores are healing quickly.

 

My previous and only other DH experience acted just like this except the fluid would come back at night, over and over, for months. This time (fingers still crossed) the fluid came on hard and strong but then subsided. This outbreak was by far the most severe I ever had but it is subsiding as quickly as it came. There is still a chance it could come back in another wave and I will update here if it does.

I'm glad you are healing quickly!

Wow, that must have been so awful for you. The final picture looks like a brand new hand!

Well as most of you know, it only feels about 100 times worse than it looks.

Yup. I know that feeling. My hubs gets it like that on his hands too -- mostly on the fingers like yours. Horrid place as you can't hide it, you can't keep anything on it because it will get washed off every time you wash your hands and washing hands just seems to irritate it further. I sure like that last photo! I breathed so much easier when I saw that one. Before that was like flashback city. (Shudders)

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi Charlie I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 d...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Caligirl57 hi and thank you for the reply! I have had myself scared to death over this. I am still having pain but it's not as bad. I have always had bad teeth and gums @trents thank you, so omeprazole is the right thing to take?

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946 You are more than welcome. If you are struggling with mental health do consult with a medical professional and follow their advice if they think you need medication, as I did for a while, but I hope you will find these books as helpful as I did on the road to recovery.

      PPI is the acronym for Proton Pump Inhibitor. Omeprazole is a PPI. PPI's work in a different way than do "H2 blockers" like Tagamet or Pepcid and different also from acid neutralizers like Tums.

      Hi Charlie  I also take omeprazole. It does help. I was diagnosed with fatty liver about 20 years ago. Didn’t pay any attention to it. Then 20 years later diagnosed with celiac disease that I probably had most of my life, looking back. Both of those things caused my liver to fail. I’m not a drinker. When I was diagnosed back in the states I had 30 days to live. After 3 weeks, in hospital I received a liver transplant. I was so sick I was there for 3 months. After that my kidneys went south. I was on dialysis for 8 months and on a kidney transplant list. When we received the call about an available kidney (4yrs) I was so excited! After the transplant the surgeon told my husband I had a 1 in 10 million chase for a kidney transplant as my antibodies were at 99%. Only 1 percent of the population was a match to me. I’m 1 year out from my kidney transplant and have so much energy and life left to live!  Please everyone, listen to your body and get medical advice. I wish I had sooner.   i hope this will inspire more people to Donate to Life.

      Curious if any other disregarded celiacs medically, not eating wheat and other foods im not to consume but yes its in the house because others have to eat. Currently dealing with eye issues, skin issues,blood and colon look fabulous because NOT consuming. Now im dealing with i may have ms or meningioma....Im also sibo positive, ibs which they think is the cause, " depression " which medical has caused me.Why is it so hard for medical to believe. I went to ER Dec 23 per pcp and got blood drawn sick as hell looking like a corpse bride with dark circles and pale skin.No surprise they said my blood is fine and I had to say thats not what im here for because im always told its fine when not, Ketones waked and then they said I have the flu, ya the flu 24/7 for years battling what the heck is going on.Doctors really need to listen, understand celiac which I've tried to school in past from what I've learned on these websites but it feels as if running in a useless circle. Im to take gabapentin 300. for a week and then go up to 600 since taking this and a other med that was prescribed no longer taking because it makes me awake.This one too is amping me up to not be sleepy when I am tired. Just curious if meningioma or ms is a link to core issue of celiac?I also saw the proclamation but confused because it states that California has two women?  Do I reach out to them? Ive already wrote to my local representative in Stanislaus County.Being celiac and dealing with a circus of clowns that didn't diagnose one doesn't make celiac go away and its not fair or right to us.Im angery, diagnosed by gi doctor by biopsy before foods eliminated from my diet, celiac sprue at the age of 23 in 1994.Now menopause has killed any tolerance i had and body affected badly.No one should go through the medical HELL ive been through.  Also positive HLA-DQ2
