Please try again, I made a setting change that I hope will help. It needs to be under 2 megabytes.

If that does not work, you can shrink it here for free:

Is there a restriction based on how many posts a person needs to make before uploading pics?

I am not sure.  I have tried to post the photo several times and even used the shrinking app.  I am going back to my derm on Friday.  I saw him about 3 weeks ago and he said it was folliculitis (on my shins bilaterally) but he did not even address the fact that I have a rash on my elbows and forearms (bilaterally as well) and it is now on my shoulders and upper back.  Although, this is not nearly as miserable as the rash present on my shins.  I am going back armed with photos and I am going to ask for a punch biopsy and a script for dapsone...before I go crazy.  This has been going on since December.  I had this rash around 7 years ago as well, it eventually resolved itself.  It was terrible but nothing compares to the intensity of the itch that I am dealing with on my legs.  Which, incidentally, appeared after I starting eating this vegetable protein bowl that contains barley and wheat as well as a delightful soy sauce.....

I am sorry you were unable to post your photos, but most DH members will tell you that a visual is really not effective in diagnosing DH.  Make sure you take information on exactly how to biopsy (next to a lesion) as shown here:

https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/related-conditions/dermatitis-herpetiformis/

Take the time to browse through the DH section of the forum for tips.   Know that most with DH must be super strict with their diet.   Consider getting the celiac blood test as well.  

I hope you feel better soon.  DH is awful!

I'm also sorry you could not post...there should not be any restriction other than file size under 2MB. Do you recall the error you saw?

Also, the latest research on DH can be found here:

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      The regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles have yeast extract, which is probably the source of gluten.  Pinpointing the exact cause of gluten exposure is always tricky, but I've come to learn my initial reaction to gluten compared to the ongoing symptoms that will occur days, weeks, and sometimes months later.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      Yes, that's probably best. (Honestly, that is an extraordinarily high number, I've never seen anything like that. I repeated my blood tests (not taken while pregnant BTW); before giving up cake, pizza, and beer, I wanted to know for sure! You don't wanna mess around with anything while pregnant. Congratulations and best of luck!

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?

      @plumbago on my blood tests I got 4500 and normal should be between 25-30 but they wanted me to continue eating gluten until a endoscopy was done and also biopsies taken. I’ve took it upon myself to cut gluten out today based on the research I’ve done about it during pregnancy

      If you tested positive for celiac on labwork, I would definitely give up gluten.
