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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
