Is this DH?

I've had this rash on my hand for a good 6 months. This is it looking a lot better than before. It has little blister like pockets that puss if squeezed. And the itch is so intense that it hurts. I have stopped eating gluten, except two accidental encounters a couple weeks ago. I can't get to a doctor to get it checked so was wondering if anyone here thinks it is the celiac rash? Maybe I don't have celiac, but just highly sensitive to gluten?

We don't know. There is no photo and there are many rashes that all resemble each other anyway. Is it only on the one hand?

I tried adding a photo, guess it didn't work. Yes, it is only on one hand.

Can't get an image to work. But at the moment it is flaring up again, very red with tiny bumps/blisters all over.

A hallmark of dh is that it appears bilaterally; that is on both sides of the body ie: both hands, both knees, both arms, whatever. It echoes itself from one side of the body to  the corresponding area on the other side of the body.

Is it typical to have it run down both sides of neck and both sides of spine , down middle crack of scalp and on both eyebrows?  Does oatmeal stuff come out? my doc thinks its pemphigoid...i still dont.

I get full of liquid and i can move the liquid balls under my skin in the forehead or back for example....and the whole thing planes off when i push it out....i have some big areas and some clusters at the bottom of my hair/scalp neckline, but its everywhere pretty much

      Ibuprofen

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Colleen H · Posted

      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  How many people get opposite effects or have a horrible attack after these meds

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      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. 🙏🏻❤️

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Juliane · Posted

      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…
