Is this DH?

New to this forum. Hi guys! So for the last few weeks I've been battling this insanely itchy rash. First started on my elbows, cleared up after 10 days ish with a steroid cream. Then broke out on my knees, ankles and now it's moved on to my thighs. Does it look like DH to you? I've mentioned dapsone to my dermatologist and she's looking into it. 

I've stopped eating gluten completely in the last month and I'm feeling better. My GI symptoms have improved. I'm more regular (was chronically constipated despite a healthy diet). And if I eat anything gluten I instantly have what it feels like the worst hangover in the world. Severe migraine and nausea. It's awful. Starting about 6 months prior I had to give up alcohol completely. Even just one glass or white wine or one beer (with plenty of water) would do the same thing. Feels like I had 12 shots of tequila. It sucks!

I'd love to know everyone's opinions.

Hi! Thank you very much! The three dots only give two options: Report and share. I'm using this on my mobile device. Could that be why?

No option for "Edit", huh? Could be that you are using your phone, I don't know for sure.

No edit option unfortunately. Even in the app, or in the desktop site. Is it because I have a new account?

Not sure. PM Scott Adams and ask that question. On many forums I have joined I did not have full privileges right away. But, there could be an issue with the software as it was recently updated. When you open up a new post window do you see a paperclip at the bottom with instructions about choosing files to attach or dragging them?

No I didn't see anything like that at all.

Scroll up to the top of the page and locate the envelope symbol. That will allow you to send a persona message to Scott Adams, our administrator, and ask him about the issues you are experiencing. Do you have a computer you could use to check for more options on the user interface?

The edit feature is only available for a short time period after a post, and this is due to the many spammers who might post something, then change it after by adding link spam.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9. There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease. Are you still having symptoms? What do...

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
