Dh Questions

Are the photos in the link being provided to us newbies typical or extreme cases of DH? It sounds like everyone presents in different ways? I have a rash on the inside of my forearms. It starts with small pimples that become rash like. It then becomes dry and the pimples scab over. Could it be DH? Does DH itch, burn and sting when you sweat? This rash does and becomes worse.

TIA

I think that everyone's reaction is unique. Although DH also typically includes oozing blisters - not just bumps. But you never know. Mine were pretty ugly - and excrutiatingly itchy - but did not look as bad as most of the picture on the internet. One thing that also seems typical is that it is a symettrical condition - if you have it one arm, you have it on the other, etc.

I would get up to 10 on my abdomen over a 2 day period and they would last for about a week, clear up, and then come back again. They were tiny, with an extremely itchy oozing blister that would crust over and then ooze again for a couple of days. The top would come off extremely easy.

I also would get a few on my scalp that were extremely itchy, but not did not ooze.

I was 100% gluten free after my daughter went to college, but recently I have been eating out and I am finding now that I will get 1 or 2 now with cross contamination. This is new to me, so I hope this is it.

Hope this helps. Marcia

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      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.
