Rash...that's Not Dh?

my daughter is a diagnosed celiac. both my husband and myself were tested and were negative. i have all the typical gi symptoms and have started the diet with my dd. i feel MUCH better!

my question is can you have a rash that's NOT DH but is still because of gluten?

my sis has eczema(pompiholyx) on her hands, she gets these tiny bubbles that eventually pop and peel or crack. I've started getting the same thing in the past 2 years or so...along with the rash i have always had on the backs of my elbows off an on since i was a teenager. its very itchy at times, and quite small in terms of size of the actual bumps. I've googled pics of dh and it looks nothing like it so i don't think that's what this is. Any ideas, experience or opinions?? thx!!

Hi, I have a 19 year old that was diagnosed gluten intolerant 3 months ago. I think her dad and grandma have many symptoms but have not been tested. My other daughter age 16 had skin problems the day she was born, in July...we called it heat rash. She has relatives with skin probs. I think she could be gluten sensitive too. For 2 years she gets tiny, hard bumps on her arms that are not pimples but you can squeeze them. Then they itch, get scabby. Scabs get itched off then turn to scars. Look up "chicken skin". She needs to be tested for gluten allergy. Could be what you have.

I get rashes on my hands. It is called Dyshidrosis, also termed Dyshidrotic Eczema, Pompholyx and Dyshidrotic Dermatitis. It only occurs on the hands and feet. Dh typically is on knees, back, arms, buttocks.

Mine is absolutely related to wheat.

Someone on her a while ago said hers was related to all her food intolrances, not just gluten. She also could not have egg and corn I think.

Mine is 99% gone. It is nothing now. but I do get a few bubbles here and there. I have other food issues too.

Purple, your daughter could get a skin biopsy to see if it is DH

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
