3 Yrs Old Toddler And Husband With Possible Dh?

Hello

I have find out by skin allergy testing two week ago that I was allergic to wheat oats,yeast etc.. so possible Coeliac. I need more inverstigation. So far on gluten free diet and no more pain, bloating, diarrhea, lethargy etc..

Whilst looking on the coeliac website here in australia I learned about DH.

My husband Joe

My husband has Crohn's disease (autoimmunue disorder of the intestines) and psorasis (autoimmunue disorder of the skin)which seems to have clear up since we move to Australia from the UK.

Both conditions are heridetary and can be passed on.

My husband about a year ago started to have those small tiny blisters on the sole of his feet and now are also on his palms and fingers

"He has outbreaks of tiny, horribly-itchy wart/blister type bumps on his hands and sole of feet.He is 36Yrs old

They itch as they are coming "up" quite intensely, and continue to itch while they're "bumps". Then they tend to dry up and peel off leaving little circles of different layers of dry skin "edges" where the bumps had been. Those do not scar, as such, but he has had repeated outbreaks in the same areas which seem to have left his skin a little uneven or callousy in that area for a while.

They do not seem to "spread" from contact, but sometimes He has just one, and sometimes he'll start with one and have a whole series that start and stop at overlapping intervals on different fingers.. often on the sides, near the joint.

He also has a rash on his chest and back the doc said it was warts. Now i think it might be DH aswell but a different form of it.

Hygiene doesn't seem to affect them one way or another"

My 3 yrs old Daughter Elise

She has the same plantar tiny, horribly-itchy wart/blister type bumps on the sole of her feet. She complains that they itch a lot.

She hasn't got any medical condition yet apart from some constipation.

I will try to post some pictures, next time. They are both asleep right now.

Do I need to take them both to a dermatologist or/and start them on a gluten free diet.

The only positive outcome will be that to cook one meal per dinner, will save me a lot of time in the kitchen !! Smile although aur bank account will not think the same thing Crying or Very sad

Could you please respond to this post. Any comments would be really appreciative. Thank you. I really feel for both of them. Confused and wish I could help them.

Bonjour Sarah,

Since your husband has psoriasis, is it possible your husband and daughter have palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP)?

Open Original Shared Link

There is about a 1 in 6 chance that they also have gluten sensitivity - about 17% of people with psoriasis will eventually recover on a gluten-free diet. There have been numerous studies that show this. They could both be tested for antigliadin (AGA) antibodies. With this test positive, they may have gluten intolerance even without having full Celiac Disease or a positive TTg or EMA blood test.

There may be other conditions to examine, too. I have DH and have never had it on the soles of my feet or palms of my hands, but maybe someone else here has. Interestingly, my father has gluten sensitivity and psoriasis.

Best wishes!

April

I also meant to add that there is absolutely no harm in starting them both on a gluten-free diet. Many people with autoimmune tendencies will do better on this type of diet.

Bonne chance!

April

Sounds like dyshidrosis, but since they don't know what causes that I would wouldn't rule gluten out :) .

They both sound like chronic celiac and are having problems because they are not gluten free. Have them tested immediately!!!!

Good luck... God Bless

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
