Dh Question?

I am still convinced that the rash I have is DH, even though the biopsy I had was negative. I'm going back to the dermatologist and am going to try to get her to do another one in case the first one wasn't done correctly. I have a question about the appearance of the rash that I'm hoping someone can answer. When the blisters start to heal up and scab, do they actually leave a little hole in your skin until they are completely healed? This is what mine does and sometimes they take forever to completely go away. My rash looks exactly like some of the photos of DH I have seen, and nothing like the "urticarial vasculitis" that I was diagnosed with.

Anyone??

Hi, This is my first post here. Have been gluten free since Dec.2006. I wanted to tell you. My DH does leave holes in my skin. It has cleared up for 18 mos. Then I ate something not sure what. It came back with a vengeance. Mine is on my ankles and lower leg. Not sure if this helps but I have had several holes and then when it finally heals scars.... have a great week, babs

Thanks for your reply Babs! I had another biopsy done last Wednesday and will get the results next week so we'll see if it shows anything different than the first one. The dermatologist took two samples, one from a blister and one from the adjacent skin, so at least I know it was done correctly this time. I'll let you know when I get the results.

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      But knitty kitty, if OP does have celiac disease, why aren't her symptoms in abatement after practicing the gluten free diet for four years? If the OP was a refractory celiac, you would think the biopsy wouldn't be clean.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Many people dignosed with Celiac need to have their Gall Bladder removed from years of Celiac symtoms distroying our organs. Also NSAID (Liver disease) also associated with Celiac as everything you eat and drink is filtered by your Liver. So this is not uncommon; seeing more and more of Liver disease on the increase.

      The most comprehensive book for Celiac is writtin by Dr Peter Green  "Celiac a hidden Epidemic".  Dr. Green is one of the leading Celiac doctors in the country and research also.  His book is well written and is easy to understand. I refer to it as my Celiac Bible. Your local library may have a copy or It is also sold on Amazon .  He has an updated version also; but I have not had a change to read it yet. There is also one "Celiac for Dummies".  If your have kids with Celiac, it makes it simple to know what they are dealing with.  But it is still an Adult book. And this site is wonderful.  Scott has helped the Celiac community so much and you can rely on his responses. GIG.net will keep you informed about the labeling laws.  Summer camp for Kids with Celiac and so much more.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      She is waiting to get bloods done to check for various things including bone profile. As far as I know she does a lot of cooking from scratch, lots of veg, chicken. She’s never been a fan of processed foods like cold ham but does like bacon and will also buy gluten free sausages. Shares a flat with her friend who is aware of her coeliac. As far as I’m aware they’re very careful about cross contamination but I know it’s possible it happens from time to time

      @Heatherisle, Has your daughter been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies?   A combination of Thiamine Hydrochloride (or Benfotiamine) and B12 and Pyridoxine B6 relieves pain as well as over-the-counter pain relievers.  What sort of food does she eat on the GFD?  Many gluten free processed foods?
