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!

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      By Seaperky · Posted

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
