It does look like how mine presents. It also has a stinging itch- severe itch and takes about 2 weeks for it to finally heal. Sometimes turns purple in color and leaves a colored mark but eventually fades away. Mine also come back in the same place and on the adjacent side of the knee.  I have been gluten free for about 3 years so it does not come up anymore. Sorry for the late response.

Thank you. I used to get a breakout on my hand and it would blister and turn purple before going away. When I was a teen the doctor tried to tell me it was a type of herpes, but married for over 35 years and having 5 children and 10 grandchildren no one else has ever got it. If it was herpes, it would be contagious. I didn't know about DH or Celiac back then. It hasn't broken out since I've been gluten free. But I don't know what this one thing on my back is. It sure itches. I did take regular communion at church last Sunday because I forgot to get the gluten free one at the back and didn't want to not take it. That's the only thing I can think of. It's such a small area that's broke out, though.

The only thing that looks like that and itches is DH in my mind. You can still have breakouts even if your gluten free, I have read several others on the show forum saying that. I’m not sure anyone really knows why. You could have ingested gluten and iodine somehow. Remember I’m no expert, but that does resemble how mine comes up.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
