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?

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
