Could This Be Dh?

I'm still undiagnosed but have been gluten free for 2 weeks and feel a bit better. I have 7 siblings and wonder if any of them could have Celiac. One of my sisters just mentioned a rash she has. Does her description sound anything like DH?-"Mine is wierd, it's long and skinny bumps on an area a few inches wide on my arms, legs or chest...goes away after about an hour and only occurs in one or two areas at a time. I've been taking Benedryl and that seems to help. It's odd though, it usually happens in the evening and it happens every few days." She also mentioned it's very itchy.

I figured I would check before mentioning DH to her!

I would have to say its not dh, if it comes and goes that fast. Mine stays for a very long time and it is very itchy. But it does sound she is reacting to something she is eating. I would have her do an food diary and see what she eats before this outbreak, it could be anything from dairy to shellfish.

Im sure there is still an chance it could dh, or at least an reaction to wheat.

Just wanted to add my mom gets like that from shellfish, she breaks out on a rash on her arms and neck and she itches like crazy, then in a few hours she is fine.

Doesn't sound like DH. DH doesn't just go away that quickly.

I finally had my new doc confirm DH even after my internist insisted it was foliculitis. Ridiculous!! I figured out what it was be internet research and the 4th doc I went to confirmed it was indeed DH. I have been suffering for over a year with it and my latest episode is really bad (arm pits) and had it for months.

I was told it was my detergent, shower soap, deoderant, etc. I knew that it wasn't, but no one would listen to me!!

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
