Think I Just Added Dh To My Symptoms

As if I needed more frustration right now. This is the second time in my pregnancy that I've been cross contaminated. I'm still in the midst of feeling like mud and now I'm itching. Last time I was glutened, I got 2 little itchy bumps inside my elbow. I figured they were nothing and would go away. A month later, they hadn't and I started to wonder about them. Then the gluten in the split peas or something else. Now there are 15 itchies in that elbow and the other arm is itching up a storm without spots yet. I'm frustrated, headachy, tired, itchy, pregnant, cranky and afraid to eat anything since I aparently got glutened on food I thought was safe. Grrrr. If it is DH, is it worth a biopsy? If it is DH how long will it take to fade if I don't get glutened again? Is it OK to itch it, or will that make it worse or scar worse?

Good night from Ms. Cranky Pants.

Hi, I just wanted to mention that often those with DH are of the very sensitive to gluten celiacs.

My son has DH (13 years old). He gets it from things that I eat and don't seem to react to. I listen to his DH though and stop eating those things. I'm very sensitive and he is more so. It seems like when he eliminates the thing with gluten in it his DH starts improving by the next day. By about 3 days it is gone. It seems to show up the next day after he eats something contaminated. I hope that you can figure out what it is. The last time we found that we had to wash and peel our peaches and not just wash them. Things like that are really hard to figure out and seem totally crazy. It took a long while for us to consider something like that.

i dont know enough about it, and i think for the first time i have some on my stomach.

from other posts ive seen on here- i THINK it's possible to still have the DH for some time even after going gluten free- is that true??

We need a list of acronyms and what they stand for...please? What the heck is DH?

Sometimes I think I know what CC is, but then I read it in another post that seems to be using it for a different reason....

D = Diarrhea

CC = Cross Contamination?

DH = ??

Etc.

Ohh Poor Baby Miss Cranky Pants. This is all so annoying at times, isn't it? I feel for you Momma.

(I've got a raging "atypical dermatitis"- or some such BS diagnosis- and it is just awful)

Perhaps you could use a little mind over matter. I have read posts here where people write about how much BETTER they felt when pregnant. Start a thread asking for everyone's GREAT experiences with symptoms disappearing when they were pregnant- might be uplifting???? Maybe? :unsure:

Come on everyone- let's think good thoughts for SGWhiskers to have an easy and effortless pregnancy and delivery!

Why would you get tested for DH unless you are thinking about taking dapsone?

As for acronyms, CC is cross contamination and DH is dermatitis herpetiformis, which is essentially a skin version of celiac.

D is diarrhea, CC cross contamination, DH can be either the skin form of celiac or can stand for dear husband, DD is dear daughter, DS dear son, C is constipation, IMHO is in my humble opinion, hope this helps.

RX = prescription

DX = diagnosis

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
