Blisters On Fingers

Does anyone get blisters on their fingers? I have blisters that bubble split and crack on four of my fingers but none of the others. The same ones on both hands. It is puzzling. I've been gluten free for 10 months now.

Does anyone else have similar symptoms?

Me. I do. I have a finger where I get these things that are itchy and sore and you can squeeze them and liquid comes out but it's not like a pimple. It's like a blister. I asked the pharmacist about it and he said it looked like eczema so I tried my daughter's eczema cream on it which works in a couple of days. The cream is called Elidel.

I wonder how many others get this? Is this DH?

I get something similar and don't know anyone else who does. Except I notice that it happens after long periods of exposure to the cold. Painful tiny blisters only on my fingers...I have Raynaud's though - but this will be the first winter that I'm gluten-free...so we'll see what happens. Does this happen to anyone else??

Yes, I get those little blisters on my fingers. If I don't open them they'll dry up, and get to be painful sores. When it gets to that, I have to rip them off, sometimes several times, before they stay away. If I don't do anything they spread. I've had that problem since 1978 (I know that, because it first appeared when I was in Montreal for a year).

But since going gluten-free, and especially after eliminating all the other foods I am intolerant to, I don't get them nearly as often any more. It seems that humidity is a factor with me (and there are mold spores in humid air that make me sick, so why not trigger skin problems, too).

It's dishydrotic eczema. I've had it for years and it is caused by my food allergies. It really flares up bad when I am exposed to soy or dairy. Maybe gluten intolerance can cause it too, or maybe you have food allergies on top of celiacs.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
