I have no idea why this picture is coming through so big!! I tried several ways and times to make it smaller but I couldn't so I apologize, LOL!!

The good news is, she has an appt with the dermatologist on Tues. I'm afraid it won't result in anything yet again. We've been to the pediatrician, the allergist, the rheumotologist, the GI and no one seems to know anything. All her blood work is normal (except for low on Vit D). Even all of the JRA blood work was normal. The Arthritis was finally discovered through an MRI. She doesn't have the swelling, redness, or fever that I guess most JRA patients have?

If one more person tells me they don't know what's wrong with my daughter I am going to scream. It's not "normal" to have an intensely itchy, bumpy rash on your face along with ALL her other issues--the arthritis, the stomach, etc!

Thanks for the vent.

Megan, my daughter, has had bumps on her face (usually her cheeks) on her upper arms and thighs. My doctor had never been worried, but now I am drawing even more connections. Thanks for posting. Hope you get some answers soon!

If the derm does a biopsy ensure it is done properly.

Looks EXACTLY like my DH rash when I get glutened.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.
