Is This Dh?

So I am still fairly new to all of this - gluten free for 7 weeks.. I recently realized I had a sensitivity to caisen as well, and had not only neuro symptoms flair, but also my GI symptoms (using the restroom 15 times a day again ugh) anyhow I also got blisters that itched on my fingers- only 3 or 4, but they were very noticable.. I realize I've had these most of my life from time to time and have always written it off as I got bit by something or a wierd heat rash etc.. Does that sound like DH to yall?? THanks in advance!

I had those all the time before I went gluten free. I've always wondered (in hindsight) if that was dh.

I did have a full blown dh rash the first time I had gluten after being clean for 8 weeks...that made me think back to those itchy bumps I got on my fingers, right at the joints.

I got those little blisters on my fingers between my fingers or on my joints...long before I got a full blown DH rash. I wish I had known that was DH back then. I always got it when I baked bread...little intensely itchy painful blisters...they went away in a few days. The later rashes lasted months and months..even gluten free...takes months to heal. Wish I had known then what I know now. It could be DH.

Thanks yall!! I couldn't describe them better myself- they are intensly itchy with a little burn! They have resolved now after I guess I got glutened last week - my GI symptoms flared and I became SUPER starving hungry a again for a few days (not a feeling I like at all)! but now all is calmed down thank goodness (except my neuro stuff, still waiting to see improvement there)!

       In terms of a low carb diet the thing to remember is that it is not a “no carb” diet. Far from it. There are a lot of misconceptions. Real food is the key. Avoiding refined sugars and starches. In the textbook that doctors use it states that “Carbohydrates” are not essential to life, unlike proteins and fats. Glucose on the other hand is essential, yes, and the liver makes and tightly regulates all it needs in the presence of adequate calories from proteins and fats. It’s biochemistry 101.  My personal view is that the NHS advice is out of date. And no wonder the life expectancy and quality of life of people with diabetes down the road is reduced - not to mention the cost to the NHS when...

      Hair loss is also a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.     Peripheral neuropathy, another thiamine insufficiency symptom, can cause a feeling of itchiness on the skin without a rash.

      Celiac testing often includes looking at total IgA levels, because if someone is deficient the IgA tests for celiac disease may not be accurate (false negatives).  Did her doctors say anything about how much gluten she should consume?  If you change that it could affect her next test results.

      @mytype1diabetes, Do keep in mind that Celiac Disease is genetic, so all first degree relatives (parents, siblings) should be checked for celiac disease as well.   Thiamine deficiency is common in breastfeeding mothers and their babies, even in countries where people are well fed and eat healthy.  A high carbohydrate diet requires more thiamine to turn those calories into energy.  Mothers on a high carbohydrate diet can be deficient in thiamine which also causes the infant to be deficient. DKA is found in children with thiamine deficiency.   Thiamine deficiency correction is part of DKA treatment. Thiamine deficiency needs to be addressed and corrected quickly and maintained.  Ask for...
