Skin Rash That Isn't Dh


TaylorsMom

I have a question that may not be linked to Celiac Disease at all. I believe that my 2yo has Celiac but I am still working with the ped to get her tested (you can read my other post to hear the story). Anyway, I'm curious if any of your children developed a mysterious rash before becoming gluten free. My dd has gotten a rash 3 times now (in just over a weeks time) that starts right around her belly button and goes all the way up to almost reaching her neck. The first time I noticed it, it was more just like little red bumps. These last two times it's looking more reddened still little bumps but has more of the "rash" look. It is not raised or inflamed and does not appear to itch very bad. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

What kind of soaps, lotions, are you using? There can be gluten I believe in those type of things. And people can react, who don't have DH.

Someone else just recently asked a similiar question. I posted some links, that you might find helpful?

Though it would be good to have a doctor look at it too, just to make sure it isn't something else. Just to be safe. =)

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
