I developed Covid over a week ago. Since that time my rash has completely disappeared. I wish it would not come back!  😃

Did they give you anything for the Covid that might be working on the DH?

This is interesting and just goes to show you that viral infections can have many different side effects in different individuals. Some here have posted that they believe that a vaccine or infection may have triggered their celiac disease, and there is research that has linked the onset of celiac disease with certain infections, but not many have posted the relief of DH symptoms due to covid, so this is interesting!

Unfortunately it came back after 10 days. It sure was a nice relief!!!  I have had two other times in February 2022 and May 2022 that I was sick with bronchial infection and the rash cleared up during that time. However, both of those time the dr had given me a shot and predisone. With COVID they just told me to use Robitussin and Tylenol.

Is there any chance you're still getting trace amounts of gluten in your diet...perhaps if you eat outside your home?

We have been eating at home. Very seldom do we eat out and then I am very careful. However when I broke out again we had been eating at home for weeks and I was eating same thing I ate while I was clear? V.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Even though my brother almost died in his 40s because of coeliac disease, no one ever told family members that we should be tested. As a result, I was almost 70 years old when an orthopaedic doctor suggested that I be tested for coeliac disease. My count was greater than 250. I had loved my bread, baking, especially pies and was never sick, but did not absorb...

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.
