As you know I have had issues with dry skin issues for a while already this year, but have mostly solved that with the Cliniderm lotion. BUT this week I noticed my DH is getting a lot worse and there's some that has developed on my wrist? (maybe because I usually wear my watched on my left hand). But yeah I dont know, anyone else get their DH flare up more or show up in new places during winter?

Generally speaking, DH calms down during the winter. I know I took dapsone a whole lot less often in the winter. Are you sure it's DH and not some other skin condition?

Are you sure it's not contact dermatitis? If you're reacting where your watch is, you may be allergic to something like nickel. Nickel in the diet of someone who is allergic/sensitive (such as in certain foods and multivitamins) could have ongoing reactions anywhere on the body as well.

Hmm well my watch has a velcro strap so none of the metal actually touches me. and I dont wear any jewelry at all. but it could be contact dermatitis somehow, never thought about it!

      Blood results

      When you say the endoscopy showed potential flattening and atrophic villi, Is that the visual result and you’re still waiting for the pathology report on the biopsies? It is quite possible to have the endoscopy look ok and the biopsies show celiac damage. That happened at my last endoscopy. It is also quite possible to only have damage in some areas. ...

      So even though she was initially diagnosed with IBS, could that have been wrong and she has had coeliac all along even though the endoscopy only showed potential flattening and atrophy inD1. Plus one positive and one negative blood result.It’s so confusing for my old brain!!!!

      Is Purito's Oat In Calming Gel Cream safe for celiacs?

      I'm trying to figure out if Oat In Calming Gel Cream from Purito is safe to use as a moisturizer on my face. In particular, I'm not sure what to think about the oat seed water. Not sure if that should be considered safe or not. The full list of ingredients on their website are: Avena Sativa (Oat) Seed Water (77%), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 2,...

      Blood results

      Aw thank you so much for replying so quickly. Just wish the endoscopy had been clearer but as you say she might be in the early stages although she’s had gastric intestinal symptoms for a few years now but was told it was IBS. She won’t get the results for about 12 weeks which is frustrating, so hopefully if she trials a gluten free diet things will hopefully imp...

      Blood results

      Well, you've done both stages of testing now, the blood testing and the scope/biopsy so there is no reason to postpone trialing a gluten-free diet. And, yes, we get many reports on this forum from people with similar diagnostic experiences that leave them without desired clarity. My take would be your daughter is in the early stages of developing active celiac...

Hopefully her doctor took biopsies from the areas with potential flattening and atrophy.

I know improvements aren’t likely to happen immediately
