There is a skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis (aka, "DH") that is associated with celiac disease. It has little blisters in the bumps.

Say, you have posted several times today in different areas of the forum. I would suggest that you use punctuation in your sentences to make them more readable and understandable. Your post here is one big run on sentence for instance. Are you making these posts from a phone or a computer? Some of them are very difficult to make sense of.

I have  spelling and punctuation problems you must of noticed this here

Since you have celiac disease you may also have DH, and if so you need to be very strict with your gluten-free diet. 

This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful:

If you are doing the best you can with the written communication, that's all I can ask. We'll work with it the best we can. Sorry, I should have communicated earlier in a personal message. I reacted too quickly to your posting style. More often than not I see this pattern of leaving out punctuation and frequent misspellings from young people who spend hours a day texting other young people. And none of them have learned how to speak or write properly, or if they have they are too lazy to practice it.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
