That reaction sounds horrible! I am so sorry you had to deal with that and those other issues as well. This stuff is definitely not for the faint of heart. I truly wish the best for you. Thank you for all the input. My daughters are both also allergic to bactrim and I suspected I would be as well but I don't believe thats the case. I had the skin rashes and...

That's very interesting. Yes we are of Irish descent on my father's side. My brothers have also suffered lifelong skin rashes. Seems we do not have the GI issues some have with celiac (well except for my horrid constipation which is much better now) so I do not know for sure. However, I refuse to eat gluten again just to be tested, so I may never know for...

Thank you for the encouraging words. I am grateful to have found this board. I suspect I have had this a long time as well. Chronic constipation, the osteos--arthritis and porosis :), and lifelong strange rashes, a couple broken bones, and a toe joint replacement and a partridge in a pear tree lol! Hopefully I am on the road to seeing at least some relief...

Yes that is my right ring finger and I had similar places everywhere, and also other rashy places that were not blistered. Its all so confusing. And I agree about the hair dye! As of May 20, my last color, never again will chemicals touch my head! But, that long ago, and 3 mos of antibiotics would have cleared that up, don't you think? I'm reaching as well...

Yes, very painful. Sorry for the grossness, but I attached pics of my scalp and the blisters on my finger when the skin rash was happening. If anyone has dealt with DH and/or folliculitis like this, please advise. I had to tell my GP I think its DH and took myself off gluten. Some changes have been miraculous so I can only assume gluten is at least a contributor...

Thank you for replying. In my area, I was not able to get a new patient appointment with a derm until December! I am contemplating making a trip somewhere else to see one. I am aware that I need to be eating gluten before any testing but at this time, after the dramatic results (mainly with my arthritis) I have seen, I am just not willing to eat it again...

Hi! I'm new and have a million questions but will start with this one. I began having very painful folliculitis on the crown of my head in early May and simultaneously broke out in rashes all over my body that resembled poison ivy. Many doctor visits later and 3 mos of antibiotics, a nice lady at the health food store said I probably had DH. I immediately...
