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....

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
