Hi

I'd just like a sampling from the people on this board if these pics look like DH or not?

Thanks

your rash looks very much like my rsh on my forearms and shins. So yes, it very well could be DH.

It looks a lot like what my dd7 had on her legs that was never diagnosed as DH but completely went away after going gluten free.

Some of that looks a lot like the red bumps I have on my back. I always suspected it may be a very mild case of DH, though I was never tested for it.

That looks like what I have going on right now - only mine is everywhere - my arms are severly covered in it! Thanks for the great pics - I have looked everywhere trying to find pics that match what I have!

Did you ever get a diagosis?

That looks exactly like the rash I had for years that I mistook for acne.After I stopped eating gluten it went away completely.

Still don't have a DX on it, I've been tested for celiac antobodies but came up negative, so then I had a test for Lupus antibodies and came up positive, but of course that doesn't mean I have Lupus. Now in addition to that type of rash I have eczema on my knees and ankles, and some other type of rash on my thighs/shins. The doctor said I probably have adrenal fatigue but I'd have to order a test since it's not covered in Canada. The last time I visited him he said to try avoiding gluten and dairy for 6 weeks and if there is no change from that then he will test me for parasites. But I am trying the dairy free/gluten free thing now, so far I've lost 7 pounds in a week as it's hard to find stuff eat now...

So no, no diagnosis.

It looks a lot like mine. I also have some psoriasis and eczema mixed in behind the knees, back of calves and fanny.

I had it on my neck and in scalp like yours but it is clearing up there, as well as ankles, leaving some reddish purple scars in its wake.

      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, Newly diagnosed people often suffer from nutritional deficiencies. Thiamine B1 stores can be depleted within a few weeks. Thiamine deficiency can be localized in the gastrointestinal tract causing Gastrointestinal Beriberi. It is under diagnosed by doctors! Dysfunction of the gallbladder can be seen in Gastrointestinal Beriberi...

      Thiamine and other B vitamins are available without a prescription, but it's always best to discuss supplementing with your doctor and dietician. I take Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. (Avoid Thiamine Mononitrate because it's not well absorbed or used by brain f bodies.) Benfotiamine especially helps heal the gastrointestinal...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      So far, current research does not show that celiac disease directly “destroys” the gallbladder or routinely causes it to need removal. What we do know is that undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease can affect digestion in several ways, including changes in bile flow and fat absorption, which may increase the risk of gallstones in some people. That said, ga...

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the vast majority of people with celiac. Celiac disease specifically involves an immune reaction to gluten peptides found in wheat, barley, and rye. Corn is classified as gluten-free because its proteins do not activate that same immune pathway in most individuals. Although corn intolerance is very real, the explanation about the proteins being the same is oversimplified to the point where it's not accurate.

      @Heatherisle, Newly diagnosed people often suffer from nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B1 stores can be depleted within a few weeks.  Thiamine deficiency can be localized in the gastrointestinal tract causing Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  It is under diagnosed by doctors!  Dysfunction of the gallbladder can be seen in Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   Have your daughter mention the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi to her dietician!  Gastrointestinal Beriberi will be improved with high dose Thiamine administration, orally or by IV.  It's important to have thiamine deficiency corrected as quickly as possible to prevent life threatening health problems and risk permanent damage.   I had Gastrointestinal Beriberi but my doctors did not recognize it.  My thiamine deficiency progressed to Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors diagnosed me as "depressed".   I corrected the thiamine deficiency at home with over the counter Thiamine Hydrochloride tablets.  I'm very thankful I studied Nutrition.   See if the symptoms match:  Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Gastrointestinal Beriberi Presenting With Chronic Diarrhea: A Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12794365/

Every form of Thiamine needs magnesium to make enzymes.  I like Magnesium Threonate which enters the brain more easily than other forms.  Low magnesium contributes to anxiety and depression.  The eight B vitamins all work together, so a B Complex is a good idea.  Don't worry if it already has thiamine in it.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   I get mine online.

What we do know is that undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease can affect digestion in several ways, including changes in bile flow and fat absorption, which may increase the risk of gallstones in some people. That said, gallbladder disease is also very common in the general population, particularly among women, and many people have their gallbladders removed for reasons unrelated to celiac disease. In some cases, digestive symptoms from undiagnosed celiac may be mistaken for gallbladder problems, which can complicate the picture. So while there may be overlap, it is not accurate to say that celiac disease routinely destroys the gallbladder or that most people with celiac will need it removed.

Its all because Im not eating gluten because formerly diagnosed celiac back then just food consumption. Issues is in Cali they aren't addressing the autoimmune part which im currently battling as " just the flu they call it" not its my controlled by mouth celiac but not controlled autoimmune part which last employment damn near killed me as a bus driver and thats the celiac malpractice issue. No care of the patient, as im in this situation. Celiac should follow FOREVER in medical records no matter marriage change name, insurance change, change of anything.It is a battle that is not fair to the patients at all.
