Dh On My Tongue?


LadyAshleyR

Recommended Posts

So I got glutened today.

I had a bag of frozen vegetables in my freezer, and not thinking about it at all, cooked and ate an entire bowl.

Not too long afterward, I felt the bloating hit me, and got a blister on the underside of my tongue!

While I was in the bathroom being sick, I realized I've had the blister on my tongue more than once, and probably in reaction to eating those vegetables and not realizing they had wheat in them.

Is this considered DH?

Anyone else get tongue blisters when glutened?

Yes, one of the worse memories of my childhood was having blisters on my tongue and inside my lower lip. A child cannot explain what it is like to teachers who said that it was eating too many sweets and just a "softy." My parents tried to help, but they were not given any diagnosis so there was little they could do.

Yes that is a symptom

Oh joy.

Hopefully since I quit gluten my symptoms won't progress.

I didn't have bad reactions until shortly after I had my daughter.

Then I started having horrible IBS reactions, and blisters on my fingers, toes, tongue, and scalp, whereas before, i just had a few every once in a while on my fingers, and a few here and there on my face and scalp.

I just recently discovered that you can get them on the tongue. I've been plagued with geographic tongue since my teen years and my docs have always been clueless why mine hurt and itch (I guess they are only supposed to look like continents on your tongue). I've heard others say that they hurt but now since they came from my recent gluten challenge it does make me wonder....

Biopsy confirmed with DH May of 2000 and yes had many blisters in my mouth along with ulcers on my tongue.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as 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/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
