How Quickly Does Your Rash Appear/get Worse?

Hi all,

I have a small but persistent rash, probably eczema and not Dh (it's usually not itchy or blistery), which definitely seems to be connected to my diet -- it has only started to get better since going gluten-free. It seems like it is also sensitive to other foods, however, since it is still coming and going periodically; the problem is that I can't seem to figure out which foods trigger it. I'm wondering how quickly you see your rashes flare up after you eat gluten or other trigger foods. Is it immediate, or is there a delay of a few days?

Thanks for your thoughts!

I'm a new self-diagnosed DH so this probably isn't very accurate, but when I have eaten trace amounts I will feel the results at night. I will wake up in the middle of the night with extreme itching of my eyes, arms, breasts, armpits and legs most often. Waking up with extreme anxiety is also a symptom of contamination. I will develop the blisters usually overnight and wake up realizing I have 1-2 more blisters than I did the day before.

I will also wake up and the skin around my eyes will be very, very puffy and itchy and red.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      Newbie with Celiac / NCGS symptoms

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.
