Sweat And Dh

Would my sweat create more DH bumps? I have been gluten free for three days and am trying to reduce my iodine intake. I understand that it can take months for the rash to go away but I wasn't prepared for a new breakout. I'm wondering if there would be iodine in my sweat which would aggravate my DH. I ran last night and didn't shower for quite some time afterwards. Today I'm covered with a bunch of new bumps.

I don't know about the running sweat connection.

I haven't been able to walk let alone run.

What I DO know is any tiny bit of iodine causes me to breakout with new sores and I am 4 months into this.

Shellfish, asparagus, iodine in any form, meds, vitamins, etc. Will aggravate the antibodies and the lesions.

DH is very sensitive to CC and takes years to get the antibodies out of your skin.

Sometimes it can be activated off and on especially early in recovery.

Good question about salt in sweat.

I'm sorry, I'm really new to this. What is CC?

Sorry sweetie.

CC is cross-contamination and it means trace amounts of gluten.

You are not actually eating gluten but getting it by contact with gluten foods or crumbs. Even crumbs will make you sick.

We who have DH are very sensitive to gluten.

Common causes of CC are:

Using scratched teflon pans for cooking.

Toaster with crumbs.

Lipstick has gluten.

Throw away your toothbrush-from gluten days.

Have your partner brush well before kissing.

Taking the meat off a sandwich and thinking you can eat it but not the bun will not work.

Making sandwiches for others and not washing your hands.

Flour becomes airborne very easily and can contaminate your counters and "get" you.

There are many examples of others getting "glutened" accidentally.

If you search the site for CC you will get many examples.

We become more sensitive to gluten after it is eliminated.

Sorry I didn't explain.

We really have to be careful.

Good luck

Thanks so much for the explanation. No apologies necessary. I have a steep learning curve.

WoW - I had no idea I had to be that careful. Honestly I feel so disheartened.

It seems no matter what I do, I end up with more lesions. Then I scratch them ... I'm a mess.

I think a trip back to my dermatologist is in order, maybe I have to get some dapsone to get it under control.

Thank you for the information. It's very helpful and also nice for have the support of people who understand.

One thought for relief.

I use Walgreens brand of Pain Relieving Oinment which is benzocaine.

It helps a little for itching and pain.

the DH on my stomach (small 1 1/2 square inch patch) took about 4 months to go away. still a little discolored tho. and i know for sure that HEAT can aggravate the rash. it might not be your sweat- but the fact that the rash is getting hot.. mine always got worse after i got out of a hot bath.

That's interesting. I have noticed that if I keep my laptop on my lap for too long it aggravates the rash on my legs. This is like a huge rubic's cube. The puzzle begins when you try to figure out what the rash is. Then how to get rid of it. Thanks for your help. I'm still learning.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
