DH? Looks like it..

Hello all,

I am going to my general practitioner Wednesday morning to hopefully get some answers. This rash has been present and ever-growing since the beginning of June. I have ruled out everything from bedbugs to fleas to scabies. 

 

My cousin was the one who commented and said "that looks like celiac rash!". She was diagnosed 4 years ago. Since learning of celiac I am more and more convinced this is it. 

 

On top of the rash, I also have verh loose yellow stools for as long as I can remember (thought it was from gallbladder removal), broken, yellow, chipped teeth (though was from pregnancy), infertility (figured it just happens), severe depression and anxiety (medicated for 9 years now). 

 

Hopefully we can get some answers soon. Below are pics of my rash. Mostly on elbows, hands, right foot, and scalp. Does.this look like DH to you seasoned Celiacs who suffer?

 

Any input is greatly appreciated!

All of the symptoms you mention are common with celiac disease. Many of them are probably the result of the nutritional deficiencies brought on by the damage to the small bowel villi.

Please do not stop consuming gluten if you are getting tested.  Know that diagnosing  DH can be tricky.  I encourage you to read through the DH section of the forum.  You will learn things like how to get a special skin biopsy, tips for managing DH once diagnosed, and blood test and endoscopy pitfalls which can be possible with DH.  
 

Just looking at the photos can not  diagnosis DH, but with your cousin having it, it might very well be possible.  Please keep researching.  It can be your best defense and would insure you are making the right decisions.

      Fresh Additions Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Bites

      By Nikki2777 · Posted

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kenz! Eating out is the number one threat to anyone with celiac disease. The best advice I can give is "don't"! Especially if you are supersensitive. The biggest problem isn't avoiding gluten in what you order but in how it is prepared and handled back in the kitchen where cross contamination can and does happen at multiple stages before it gets to you. You would need to have conversations with the cooks and receive assurance that your food is cooked on clean surfaces and in clean pans and handled with clean utensils, separate from anything that contains gluten.

      I am new to this and have severely struggled to find places I can eat where I will not get sick. I am super sensitive to any cross contamination and gluten. I throw up, use the bathroom, get disoriented, can’t walk, can’t even lift my arms, legs, or head. It’s honestly so scary when I come in contact with gluten. I do live in a town where there aren’t many options. I live in Gadsden al. So if anyone has any recommendations of places to eat that would be so helpful .
