Confused.

I'm confused about this whole DH thing.

I had bad excema as a child - oozy, p%$#@# blisters all over my hands and feet. Still occasionally get that on my feet in the summer when my feet sweat. I don't think that's the same thing as DH and I'm not sure it's diet-related.

My celiac symptoms were all stomach/digestion related, not skin related. However, now that I am gluten free (I thought completely), I have strange red pimple-like bumps all over my face. I have never ever had skin problems in my life. I'm 24 and look like I'm just now going through puberty!

What's going on? Is this gluten related?

Who knows? It could be. I have had skin issues off and on for years. Until my DH outbreak I didn't have a clue what was wrong. I didn't have any acne issues until my thirties, which I think is more common than what most people believe. I've been gluten-free for 3 months now and I am still itching like crazy. I have asked this question before on this board and other people have commented that itching and weird skin rashes seem to be common for some people.

Hang in there

I never acne until my early forties and the last three years have been just dreadful. All it takes is a few flakes of accidental glutening and I am away to the races.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these...

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.
