Dh Question?


Colinsmom

Recommended Posts

Colinsmom Newbie

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.

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.

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.

      My mother has celiac disease and was diagnosed with Afib around 8 months ago. She's 81 and around 2 months ago had ablation therapy done, which is a very common procedure to treat this, and has been out of Afib 95% of the time since then. Apparently the full effects of this treatment don't kick in for 90 days, so the doctors expect her recovery to possibly reach 100%. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review
