The online images aren't generally close-up enough for me to tell. What I have looks like chicken pox (and i had that as a child) all over my shoulders, neck, and goes into my hairline. Itches like crazy. I also have keratosis pilaris- and it doesn't look like these.

Here is a link to some good closeups. The ones the link leads to are of the arms. Click on the left hand menu to see the pictures of other body parts.

Ursula, Thank you so much for that information. Those closeup pictures look so frightenly familar to me. My oldest son has a rash like that and is going to a family practice guy who blames it on detergent. As he has sooo many other signs, I am uping the pressure for him to get tested. Hard to convince him as he is in another state and 21 and knows everything about everything (!) Thanks again, and ISGoddess, I hope you get some help soon and feel better asap.

Those are really good pictures. They make me thankful that I was diagnosed before it got THAT bad!

      Meniers and celiac are they related

      Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.

      Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency.  Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health.  Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome.

      Kitty, to correct the anemia I got IV iron and B complex for 30 days. Then my next step will be test for nutritional deficiencies.

      Welcome to the forum, @nataliallano, There's a dozen or so vitamins and about as many minerals that our bodies need to live and thrive.  Our vitamins and minerals can become depleted in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption and inflammation, so we need to eat a nutritionally dense diet, and keep inflammation to a minimum.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      No, not if you've got an official diagnosis already.   Let's continue our conversation on this thread... Thanks
