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)

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
