Is this DH rash?

Does this look like DH rash? I've ate gluten all my life and recently I've developed this rash only on the left side of my buttocks. It's been a week and the rash is still itchy and painful at the same time, I've never experience this before. My grandfather has celiac disease but everyone else in my family hasn't had any symptoms or is diagnosed with it. I'm still waiting for my blood work results to see if I have celiac disease and I made an appointment with a dermatologist, hopefully she can tell me what this rash is.

Be sure not to go gluten-free until all testing for celiac disease is completed, or you may end up with false negative results.

Since your grandfather has it the likelihood that you also have it would be higher because ~44% of first degree relatives also have it.

Does the rash ever have tiny clear heads on it? Maybe they were scratched off? If it is extremely itchy and has tiny clear heads it could be DH, and a dermatologist could confirm this with a biopsy.

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By nataliallano · Posted

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
