Dh...does Anyone Have Pics?

Are we allowed to post pics on this forum? I'm curious to know if anyone has DH on their back and what it looks like.

Since I am going to see the doc on 8/31, I'm trying to not treat mine at all (I have an rx for Fluocinonide) and I am still eating lots of gluten rich foods. My back and my scalp are very itchy right now. My back hurts and burns from being so irritated.

DH or whatever this rash is, is not very sexy and I am wanting to get a diagnosis soon so I can get rid of it once and for all!

I went to yahoo's search and typed in dermatitis herpeformis and then when the results came up I clicked on 'images' here is a link to the page.

I had seen a lot of pics on line as well but my rash on my back and chest didn't look like the pics I saw. I did, see one today in your link, that resembles my rash. So thanks. This was helpful.

I get it.....on hands,feet,back of neck,elbows and knees i also get acne rosacea on my face which is not the best look for getting the fellas attention.....lol(good job i already have one eh?)It has a stinging ''nettle rash'' kind of feeling and comes up as water filled blisters which then burst and scab over...immensly itchy too.I will seek a skin specialist second opinion when i see my gastro results because there is treatment avail to run alongside a gluten free diet.

I have had this rash since my early teens and it was diagnosed as contact dermatitis when a lazy skin specialist found out i was a hairdresser and put 2 and 2 together coming up with '6'.I feel angry because now,at age 39 i also have Hypothyroidism and i'm convinced that if i was diaganosed years ago that wouldnt have come about.I dont have a firm diagnosis yet as i am wating for results of my Gasroscopy but i am convinced i am ceoliac because of the way gluten makes me feel......grrrr!

I used to have the large water filled blisters on my hands as a child and through my early twenties. VERY, VERY, VERY ITCHY!!! I would scratch or rub the skin off of my fingers it was so bad. I can also remember running my hands under scalding hot water to stop the itching. Crazy I know. My poor hands would crack and bleed and were so swollen.

I was diagnosed with eczema as a child then contact dermatitis as a teenager. The band-aids that I wore on my fingers were also not very sexy...

I too have rosecea which started in my early thirties.

I don't know if any of this is from gluten but I seem to have lots of symptoms.

I have until 8/31 to see the GI doc. So here's hoping. ;)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
