Recurs Inside elbows. Similar recurring rash on buttocks. Doctors always say eczema.

It could be.  It could also be eczema.  Celiacs can have many kinds of rashes besides DH.   The only way to know for sure is a skin biopsy.  It has to be done correctly.

Were you able to get an intestinal biopsy?  I recall you being in a gluten challenge.

i haven't had my biopsy yet. Was scheduled for early january but due to my weight (i'm overweight) i cannot have it done in the outpatient center. So I am rescheduled for end of February at the hospital.

This is actually my sons arm.

      Manitol and mri

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
