Could be dermatitis herpetiformis ("DH") which is a classic expression of celiac disease and which has no other known cause.

Yes!! had it earlier this year (thought it was hives, lasted over 2 weeks) along with numerous other things (stye in my eye, athletes foot) that I had NEVER had before in my life.  Explains a lot.

Have you been tested for DH or celiac disease and have you been confirmed to have either by formal diagnosis?

I am following a gluten free diet yes.  I was thinking maybe I am lacking in vitamins I was very low on Vitamin d when I got diagnosed.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are very common, especially in those who are newly diagnosed. Are you taking supplements that include a B Complex, as well as D? Have you had your levels re-checked?

@Natalie youds,

"Blister rash hands and feet"  

Could you describe your rash a little more?  

Have you compared your rash to pictures of DH? 

Is the rash on the top of your hands and feet or on your plans and soles of your feet?  

Does the rash get worse when exposed to the sun?

I used to get blisters on my fingers, that itch, and extremely itchy fingers after exposure to sugar.  Then the skin dries out and breaks open into sores... this part can last up to months, depending on how much sugar or over what period of time. I still get this today if I am inadvertently exposed to sugar.

Yes. Mine was weird though because it did not present itself above the skin. It felt more like I was walking on blistered skin but the blisters were not visible and went away after a day.

Sometimes people with celiac disease (and other diseases) get eye styes and athlete's foot

No offense intended but I wouldn't be so quick to blame eye styes and AF on celiac disease.  Not every medical problem in life is related to celiac disease.  Sometimes "stuff" just happens unrelated to celiac disease.   Esp. styes and AF which happen to so many people ALL. THE. TIME.   Sometimes, things are just a coincidence and happen after diagnosis with celiac disease.

true, and very possible...it's just that all these things happened in the months leading up to diagnosis...had never happened prior and has not happened since I went gluten free

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
