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

      This is great thank you very much @Scott Adams

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty I really appreciate this information. I’m so thankful to have found this forum and this community. After reading the book “at last a life” that @cristiana recommended, I have been experiencing a lot more anxiety than I thought I was. This book really helped me put things into perspective.    In terms of the B complex, do you have recommendations for amounts or any B complex should do? I am in Canada if that makes any difference for brands.    Also those articles are very helpful as well, thank you. I know 3 months is still early in the healing period but these tips are very helpful to hopefully feel physically better sooner than later!

      "I'm wondering if she just hadn't eaten enough to test positive?" --> Because your daughter is "IGA deficient", the (gliadin IGA) test she was given could not work properly and the result of that particular test was meaningless. The amount of gluten she did/didn't eat would not matter for that part, whether or not she actually has celiac disease. If instead she had had normal levels of IGA in her blood, then the question of how much gluten she was eating would become relevant.

      That sounds very hernia inducing work! You confirm what I have suspected, I get pain just to the right of the umbilical hernia, I am sure there is a connection.  If do see my gastroenterologist I'll mention it again.   I can't help thinking I've also got an issue in my groin, perhaps a hernia threatening, I guess an ultrasound would be needed to confirm it.

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.
