Here is mine you have to forgive the legs. Hard to shave over those bumps. Mine started out felt like razor burn then developed blisters and finally turned into this. No diagnosis on it but the flower shape seems to be a theme. Any thoughts?

looks like DH, blisters and then the red rash. Afterwards they tend to leave scars.

Yup, looks like dh. Does it itch? How bad? Does it burn or sting?

Okay, here's your second chance roxie if the biopsy & repeat blood turn up neg. --- you can have the dh biopsied. BUT you STILL have to KEEP eating gluten until it's ALL done!

It did itch and burn but not anymore this is about 2 months old.

So would these be the scars? The blisters went away a long time ago but these ugly bumps are still here. :(

No, I'm going to say they're dh just sitting there sort of "dormant" for the time being. sad.gif

Well ick........ Grrrr Can't wait to be done testing. Regardless of outcome I am going gluten free. I felt much better in the short amount of time I did it.

I'm sorry. I hate being the bearer of bad tidings. But I also must tell you that the dh can flare even after going gluten-free. The antibodies have to get out of your skin before it lays down for good unless you get glutened. BUT maybe you will be one of the lucky ones whom it just disappears for. I surely hope so!

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS. I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input a...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods...

I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
