Too Late To Be Tested?


Lemontree

Recommended Posts

I have blisters on my fingers.

My blisters started on 5/14/07 with what I thought was a spider bite (looked like a spider bite and itched) by late day it had a small group of blisters on it. By the next day my fingers itched on the opposite hand, then both hands. Every day they would alternate which hand, always middle and ring fingers. They itched before they errupted- I knew when it was coming. The back of my hands got pink itchy areas, but no blisters. My hands and fingers burned and felt electric, I kept them over the Air conditioner while driving and held onto frozen corn at home. My doctor gave me a progesterone shot 5/19/07 and said it was Poison Ivy. I tried to tell him that this was no poison Ivy and the blisters came semetrically one at a time (this did not matter to him). The blisters healed with in a week, but more itchy spots occured on my legs and hips these just had itchy areas that turned into little red/pink dots. (on both sides, but the right more than the left).

Since my blisters are gone is it too late to get tested?

Does anyone else know about this electric tingly feeling (burning stopped) in fingers and when will it go away! I am hoping that with my hands still feeling electric/tingly I can still get a biopsy. I have an appt at dermotologist in blister clinic on 7/3/07.

      OMG thank you so much for validating me in my "craziness" of being on the hunt for the culprit in my case. "Unfortunately" I do not eat any of the foods you mention, but have stopped eating the crackers that are labeled certified gluten-free to see if they might be the problem. I did NOT know about chicken being injected with gluten liquid - that is horrible!  Hoping my doc will agree to retest after I have been off the crackers for a while. My biggest mystery is - why do I not have ANY symptoms of being cross contaminated or glutened? There is no damage (thank godness) to my villi, and normally I will get canker sores the moment something is even the slightest bit cross contaminated... the hunt continues and I will follow up once I find the answer. Glad you found yours!

      Fascinating, thanks! So Canada (at least in 2017) had changed the criteria for detection in oat products from 20 to 5ppm. If the regulation still stands in 2025 then that would mean that any product sold in Canada that contains oats and is claimed to be gluten-free must (theoretically) test less than 5ppm...

      I recently had same problem and posted on here.  My bloodwork also unexpectedly skyrocketed.  When doc sent online comment saying something like "you need to be eating gluten-free food" I was almost in tears because had been very careful.  Like you, went on a mission.  Narrowed mine down to Yasso yogurt mint chocolate chip bars (formerly had Certified Gluten Free label on package but learned now only on small boxes but not large boxes) or BJ's only mixed nuts without "may be processed on equipment that also processes ....wheat" allergy warning and said in big letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  I went off both and bloodwork drastically improved.  Still don't know if culprit one or both (will add one back in and test again).  Throwing out in case you're eating either of these.  I live in Pittsburgh and during appointment my gastro told me some U. of Pittsburgh students were having same problem.  They finally narrowed it down to liquid injected into chicken they were eating.  (Apparently to make it moist and/or plump.)  Understand how frustratitng it is when you're making all the sacrifices to be careful.
