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

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
