3 Yrs Old Toddler And Husband With Possible Dh?


sarahBrisbane

Recommended Posts

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

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Yes thyroid was tested.. negative  Iron ...I'm. Not sure ... Would that fall under red blood count?  If so I was ok  Thank you for the detailed response..☺️

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
