Underarm And Top Of Leg Rash


RHYSC

Recommended Posts

RHYSC Newbie

Hello, first time poster.

Well i have not had any testing done, but....

I have had a rash on the tops of my quads and under my armpits/down my side for 6yrs now, has its good and bad times. recently i went on a high fat high protien no carb diet, as a result the rsh completley disapeared. i went off diet and rash came back, i was eating lots of bread and cereals and anything. Went back to high fat and protein and no carb one week ago and the rash has almost gone..

The rash is red itches like anything and at times has been wet, if scratched alot.

any help would be appreciated.

oh also my bowel movements are not great when eating the breads and carbs...too much info i know

You might want to get the area next to the rash biopsied if you want to confirm that it is DH. There are other skin conditions that are also caused by a reaction to gluten but if you have a diagnosis of DH you have a diagnosis of celiac. Here is a link to the NIH's site about DH and it's diagnosis.

You could also while you are still on a full gluten diet ask for a celiac panel. Although there are false negatives with that.

You also have the choice of simply doing the gluten free lifestyle if having a firm medically official diagnois is not needed for you to remain complaint.

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).
