Glutened And Dh Came Raging Back


RustyShackelford

Recommended Posts

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!

So glad this outbreak is over for you. Hope you never have to deal with it again.

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

RustyShackelford Newbie

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)

      Thanks @Beverage for checking in!  I haven't changed the dogs' food yet.  I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen).  Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new dog food, but I haven't gotten there yet.  In the meantime, though, I can definitely see that some of my worst days seem to follow when there's a possibility of gluten cross-contamination (I'm still working to cut waaay down on these instances) OR when I eat anything with dairy/ milk protein in it.  So I think I need to really get a better handle on my day-to-day eating habits to reduce all gluten cross-contamination into my food and also any dairy intake, and then at that point, I think I'll start moving over to the dog food thing.

      Sounds like fun, and I was in Germany a few years ago so you might find these articles helpful:

      I just want to mention that we summarize the latest research on refractory celiac disease here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/refractory-celiac-disease-collagenous-sprue/

      I don't think you have the URL/site address correct, as there is nothing at that site.

      Hello All I am traveling to Germany in October and will be in Berlin, Rothenburg ODT , Salzburg, Fussen and Munich.  I am also driving the northern part of the romantic road with stops in some of the smaller towns along the way.  I would really appreciate any recommendations for gluten-free friendly places, restaurants and any gluten-free beer gardens.  Thanks in advance, Laura
