I recently had a breakout. Just a few blisters in a couple of places, but one alarming new place.

Has anyone ever gotten a breakout on their genital area?

I went to the gynecologist and she ruled out everything else and said the thinks it is probably DH.

This is really disturbing, not to mention extremely uncomfotable. Why did I think this area was safe? :o

If anyone has had this experience, any suggestions for relief would be much appreciated.

Yea that is to me the most uncomfortable place for the breakouts. It is not like we can scratch there when it itches. :(

I found cool compresses to be the most helpful when that happens. I also stopped using scented panty liners for that reason as I seemed to get blisters from some of them.

I have to watch out for any G containg (paper) products, even one placed "down there"!

One might think a paper product would be safe but apparantly not, as I broke out all over from changing dryer sheets recently...made by the following co...

Here is a quote from their manufacturers site:

Our(maxi) pads are made of a combination of absorbent materials, polyolefins, adhesives, and a silicone-coated paper. The top layer is a non-woven polyolefin cover sheet. The absorbent materials consist of chlorine free wood pulp, and Lysorb, an absorbent gel. Lysorb, also known as SNAP (super absorbent natural polymer), is a polysaccharide derived from wheat. Polysaccharides are complex sugars found in many natural substances, like the fibers of cotton, wood, and wheat.

I don't care who says G can't be absorbed thru the skin. I know I have Celiac and DH, and I can't be in the same ZIPCODE as gluten. :angry:

That's so crazy! I used to get really itchy from using pads, I started using cloth pads about a year ago and they don't make me itchy at all. Kinda makes me wonder! Thanks for sharing :)

OH YEAH! I have it from front to back. What's worse is I have a chronic cough (diagnosed as asthma, not so sure now)and a very weak bladder. Imagine peeing on yourself every few minutes and now I'm finding the reason it's so bad down there is because of the PADS!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! It literally hurts to use the bathroom. Can this get any worse?

I'm embarrassed to go to my OBGYN! And I'm not gonna let my Derm look at my girlie parts. I won't even let my husband look. HELL, I DON"T WANNA LOOK MYSELF!!!!!

Is GOD trying me? I have contemplated suicide in the past, but I have a 10 yr old daughter and I would NEVER leave her!

I was self diagnosed a few days ago. Decided to use a flush from the health foods and stay away from G as best I can.

Looking back, I think I've had this since I was about 13. I'm now 40 and just figuring it out. My Derm diagnosed me with DH a few years ago but she didn't explain it. Went home, googled it and saw that it mentioned iodine, which is in all shellfish and I knew I was allergic to that, so I fugured I would stay away from seafood. NOT WORKING! A few nights ago it was so bad, I got up and googled the DH again and read in depth. A lightbulb went off when I found this site.

So many of my symptoms matched the test.

Two miscarriages in the past 8 month, gas (all my life), DH, fatigue, irritability (who wouldn't be?), constipation and unexplained sudden bouts of joint pain.

There should be laws demanding gluten be labeled as such!

Good luck to you. Please wish me luck too.

Sorry to hear you have it down there Schelbo. My suspected DH (supposed to have it biopsied but doubting my strength to purposely gluten myself) is under my arms - so my lymph glands swell, i get pit b/o when the scans form, I can't wear a bra without aggravating it and causing pain...and since I'm a D cup that limits my life quite a bit during flares.

Do you notice that friction aggravates your DH? I've just gotten to the point where I know what it is and got it into remission and then accidentally glutened myself...so I haven't been able to test the friction theory.

      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.

      Fighting for a name

      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.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
