Is This Dh?

hey everyone,

Yesterday at school I noticed that I had two red bumps on my arm. When I got home there were three more bumps on the same arm and 2 new ones on the other arm. Ive had these red bumps with little whiteheads before many times and they havent been diagnosed as dh, i just know its related to gluten ( it was previously diagnosed as shingles, follicqulitis, and many more. Ive been on many medicines too , antibiotics, etc.which never) but this is kinda different. The bumps have broken out faster, in 1 day I had 8 bumps on 1 arm and 3 on the other. Usually I get the bumps on my stomach in a line on both sides of my stomach ( sound very fimiliar with my arm right now) but ive never got the bumps on my arms. Im pretty sure it sounds like dh (because I think i got glutened or dairied lately and because of descriptions ive been reading) but I dont know why its on my arms and its breaking out SO fast? Anyone know why? Do you think its DH? Does dh go in a line because thats what my bumps are doing. moms taking me to the doctor but everytime we go its pointless.

This sounds familiar to me to. But I wouldn't be able to say whether it is DH. I've got little red lumps right down one leg, more or less in a line, but a bit zigzaggy. They are not itchy, but a bit tender if squeezed. Why squeeze? Cause they look a bit pimply, but without a head. This is the first time I have seen them, and they've hung around for a couple of weeks, and are dissappearing. It could be to do with gluten. Being gluten free is about one of the hardest things I have ever done, and there is such a fine line to getting it right and getting it oh so wrong.

OMG, i just went to the doctor and she did say she was pretty sure it was dh. Difinately not stupid shingles, or faliculitis or excima. she said they looked pimply but do NOT pop them. anyways, shes convinced its DH but has set up for a biopsy next week. She said theres medicine but im too young to go on it and would rather just have me stay gluten free.

Well, look on the bright side...........if your biopsy is positive, that gives you a firm diagnosis of celiac disease, despite your inconclusive intestinal biopsy.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
