Terrible itching with no rash

[Robert Hafker]

My father has been suffering terribly with itching over most of his body but he doesn’t have any rash.  One characteristic of his itching is that it often is mirrored on each side of his body. So for example if his right arm starts itching his left will begin to itch in the same place.  I was told that he may have celiac.  Can anyone provide me any input that may help?

People with celiac disease sometimes have DH (dermatitis herpetiformis).  DH is a very itchy rash that is symetrical on the body.  Perhaps he is in the early stages of developing DH.

This may sound odd, but I described to my Dr ( I had consistent symptoms before a rash breaks out visibly on me)

I itch underneath my skin in the layers below. I describe it as above my muscles but below my outermost skin -not close to the surface. It follows the path of blood circulation starts on my right.

Earlier years I would feel this (this was years after my PUPPP rash issues which later researchers say erupt in celiacs) the DH would erupt on my right elbow first them my left following the sensation I described.

I know it's sounds odd to most people. If he is describing  itching after eating gluten it makes sense to me  based on my experiences.

I had 4 years naively self enduced gluten-free and in hindsight I noticed these symptoms when I got cc during my initial gluten-free stage.

So yes, I believe he possibly can feel the immune system ramping up underneath the outermost layer of skin.  My symptoms often were missed and/or misdiagnosed ( happens to many of us)

Is it possible to get him tested?
