Looks like DH?

Hi everyone, i was tested for celiac twice, the first time was after 2 weeks of eating gluten every day (i was eating gluten free for almost a year) and the second was after about two months eating gluten, both came back negative in every antibody, but i've got this rash since i started eating gluten for the second test, wich is intermitent and very itchy, is on both my hands, i've never experience a rash like this and that lead me to belive it may be gluten related but since i tested negative idk... im going to try to push my doctor to ask for the biopsy anyway because i have many other symphtoms too and im deficient in vitamin D, A, and B12 + i have steathorrea, well this are the pictures of the rash

the one on my thumb is more similar to a blister, the others are still in development, but they are in te fingers of my two hands, itch like crazy and kind of come and go but never leave... any idea?

You need to get a dh biopsy from a derm experienced in dh. The biopsy is taken form clear skin adjacent to an active lesion NOT ON one. You would need to be actively eating gluten just like a gluten challenge & that's probably why your blood work was negative. You hadn't been eating gluten long enough so the tests are just plain invalid. See:

Its been a while since i started eating gluten every day, i eat a little before the first try and then the two weeks, + the time that has passed since the blood test i think 12 weeks or 11 on total, so idk why it came back negative, maybe im not celiac but im going to go for the biopsy to be sure, thank you very much for your information about DH, do you think it could be? for how it looks? im goin to see a dermatologist but they all really busy at this time of the year

Welcome to the forum.  Why did you go gluten free for a year?

Thanks, i stopped eating gluten and lactose for a week because i was tired of feeling awful every day and i noticed an improvement almost intermediately, at first i thought it may be just something casual because for that week i was only eating fruits and vegetables so super healthy, and i thought that may be the cause of my health improvement, so i decide to reintroduce them and react bad to gluten, then i cut it off completely, i start to get better but i decide to get tested because of my family skepticism, the weird thing is that i have a patch on my knee of psoriasis gutata that never leaves, except when i was out of gluten for a long time, now i have it back, idk if psoriasis and gluten can be related tbh but it was a weird coincidence.

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
