Haven't had this in years. Is anyone dealing with this? It is not oozing - has a yellowish tint. Did have a few potatoes(which I have been eliminating on my no nightshade diet) and ate semi-sweet chocolate in the trail mix. Any suggestions? Thanks, LindaLee

I have the same thing on my right hand. If I get glutened, it breaks out in blisters, but otherwise it's just kinda dry. Dermatologist thinks it's DH, but couldn't biopsy because of location. It itches like CRAZY when I get glutened.

How long have you had it? Mine just happened- no itch(thank goodness). I put neosporum on it. I feel like mine was brought on by stress. Do you have ridges on your fingernails? LindaLee

Before I went gluten-free, I had vertical ridges in my fingernails, and a horizontal dip in both thumbnails. All that is gone now (after a year gluten-free) The finger blister comes and goes--I had it frequently before. I was sick this past weekend--I may have been glutened thru CC, and it flared up again. Mine definately itches.

They say the ridges mean not absorbing nutrients. I had the itching blisters before and my finger got so swollen I had to have my ring cut off. Do you have a cat? After my stressful traffic trip back home, I cleaned out the litter box. I'm careful when I do that, but you never know. LL

The not absorbing nutrients would make sense because I was also anemic then. I do have a cat, but I don't think that the litter had anything to do with the blister in my case--maybe you are allergic also?

It's dyshidrotic eczema. I've had it for ten years. It goes away as long as I stay away from things I am allergic to. You might want to get some allergy testing done.

It can also effect the finger nails after years of having it. It has mine. It makes them bumpy and ridgey. Diagnosing skin problems is tricky. That's why talking to your doctor about it is very important. Specifically a dermatologist.

The yellow tint is going away and healing- looks like a scab now. ????? LL

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
