How many have both? I have both. I have all the symptoms Anemia, Diarhhea, Gas, Bloating, Lactose intolerance, look at my signature. I also have the terrible rash. I was reading that its rare to have GI symptoms and DH am I just weird? or is this more common now or maybe I have something different. How many of you have both?

Did you get a positive diagnosis? I'm scared, I go to the derm Monday to get Biopsy. I'm worried im going to hit another brick wall and not get a proper diagnosis with what ever it is I have. I've pretty much ruled out most other auto imune diseases for now as this is the one that I carry most of the symptoms for.

Thanks for posting

Over the years I've had a long list of symptoms. It seems like they move around from time to time? Most recently my symptoms were GI, but at the same time I've had what I thought were bug bites or something on my back, arms, and legs. They're just several in each area and itch like mad! They don't heal because I scratch them until they open. They don't look like the pics blisters I've seen that are labeled DH.

I hope you get the answers you're looking for. Not knowing is maddening.

I had DH on my knees and chest for several years before my GI issues. Now I have both when glutened. The DH is very minor compared to what it use to be though.

I have gastrointestinal problems and DH in addition to neurological problems when glutened. The neurological is brain fog, anxiety, depression in the form of despair, and sometimes uncoordination and balance issues. DH breaks out first then my stomach and guts go rolling and then I feel like a zombie stoned on gluten...just from trace gluten. god...don't know how I ever ate it every day.

I had DH for literally years before my GI issues were anything that wouldn't be considered normal for a kid. I did however have severe joint and muscle pain but doctors attributed it to congenital leg and foot defects. I had surgery but it didn't relieve the pain but did allow me to walk more normally, at least until ataxia set in. I did have C a lot as a child from a young age but it wasn't until after I had my children that the more typical D set in.

Celiac can effect many organs and presentation can differ for people.

I had stomach issues 15+ years ago. Didn't get DH until 2 years ago. now I don't have stomach issues - but do have vitamin/mineral deficiencies so I know it's affected. I get neurological/depression/anxiety symptoms in addition to DH and flu-like symptoms.

Lately I've been having some major gas - which is odd because it wasn't that bad before going gluten-free. I'm wondering if it's all the vitamins... Because it happens before I eat

anything in the morning.

If it's dairy that's just too bad. I'm not giving up the tiny bit I'm eating. Can't pinpoint the gas otherwise.

Have you tried taking your vitamins with a meal? That might help and some of them are better absorbed when you take them with food.

I do take them with a meal - except the B12 that is chewable. I take it a little later.

Maybe it's just a stage. I don't know..,sometimes it isn't worth worrying about....

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
