DH on hands with red blood blisters (picture)

Hey Folks,

 

I recently got into gluten somewhere...really wish I could figure out how because this happens to me so much. I think it may be a result of drinking Omission beer...I very often get DH outbreaks because I am too sloppy with eating. Though I always eat something gluten-free, cross contamination in a fry machine at restaurants is real...and drinking gluten free beer that is filtered to remove gluten may be a problem for me. Anyways, this last week, I had the most intensive DH outbreak on my hands. Has anybody else ever had this happen? Prior to the "blood blisters" forming, my hands were tingling for ~12 hours and when I woke up the next day, they looked like this and no longer tingled. Any input would be great because I've had no luck with doctors.

You forgot to attach the picture.

You really have to get serious & extremely careful not to get cross contaminated. DH is sensitive to the tiniest amount of gluten and I wouldn't touch an Omission beer for all the tea in China. That's just crazy when you have dh.

Jetskier were those actual blood filled raised blisters? I ask because I ran across something recently (and darned if I can recall what it's called) that presents as red spots under the skin as if teeny blood vessels had ruptured & left little red dots all over the place. It actually is associated with dh. I don't think I made a bookmark for it as I was in a real rush at the time.

Dried blood, yes. At least, that is what I presume it to be. That's really interesting. So, you're saying that it's associated with DH, but it actually something separate?

 

Cheers,

Mark

That's correct Mark. It was the darndest thing to run across it & it was on reliable medical sites, not just some yayhoo writing an article. It was so weird because in all the research I've done about dh, this was the first time I had run across anything describing that & associating it with dh. I wish I had bookmarked it but I was researching some stuff to take to the doc at an appointment plus Hurricane Matthew was barreling at us so I had my hands really full at the time prepping for both events. In all my time on this site, I've only read 1 or 2 people who mentioned having anything like that.

Now this is something that's just curious & one day when I have time (ha-ha), I'm going to try to research -- my PCP took my hands & turned them palms up & showed them to the nurse. He was pointing out the coloration. The underside of my hands have always, as long as I can remember, been a rosy color. He said that is indicative of celiac. I have never, ever, never come across anything even remotely alluding to that in anything I've read but he seemed to be very adamant that it is so. I looked at my husbands hands and his are the same - he also has celiac. I know that mine are always that color no matter the temperature or time of year. Hot, cold, moderate, they are always that color. So I dunno. One day I'll try to find references to it.

My son's hands broke out in dried blood filled blisters just like that before he was diagnosed.  Besides an all over body wash.  Hands are better now but rash persists on arms, legs and face...No GI symptoms.  He was diagnosed with admin biopsy and blood tests.

Jetskier I was researching for something entirely different & just happened to run across what I was talking about earlier. It's called petechiae. Here are some links:

Hey squirmingitch -- that totally does look like it! Thanks for reaching back in about this. I'm happy to report I have become so staunch and thinks are on the up and up. 

Best,

Mark

How is your son doing now DH-Mom? How long has he been gluten free?

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ? I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet. Rebound muscle pain so intense ...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
