  1. That was a good read! Thank you for that! Feeling hopeful that I can eradicate it after treatment for it! Really restricting my diet right now to starve out those bacteria! Spacing out my meals and no snacking whatsoever as well. (Read that helps to starve out the problematic bacteria). Definitely feeling some hunger but trying to just ignore it temporarily...
  2. I also was diagnosed in October 2022 with Celiac and now a few days ago was tested for SIBO and was positive for Hydrogen SIBO. I was tested due to ongoing celiac-like symptoms yet I am very careful with gluten free diet. I have now been told to take Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 21 days, do a low FODMAP diet for 2 weeks and then do probiotics for 2 weeks...
  3. I have been dairy free mostly up until now minus a little yogurt here and there, I use pink Himalayan salt, I eat canned tuna maybe once or twice a week/shrimp 1 or 2x per week....I do eat 2 to 3 eggs per day. But overall I don't feel like I overdo those foods...thank you for the insight!
  4. Wanted to provide an update. I haven't been on much lately but have had a lot going on. I got a second opinion from another Dermatologist because my bilateral hand rash continued to get worse and worse and was becoming quite problematic for me. I ended up having "tapioca-like" bumps coating the palm of both hands, had bumps in between all fingers, rash/bumps...
  5. Interesting, I have been out in the sun some and I actually felt like the itching and burning eased up after a few days of light outside time. But the relief was temporary and didn't last.
  6. I 100% agree with you on this and told the dermatologist this and they had total disregard for the information I provided about proper DH biopsy location. I should have just declined but to be honest I was desperate and also so hopeful maybe by chance it would show something instead of trying to arrange another dermatologist appointment as I had active new...
  7. CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS: Dermatitis unspecified. GROSS DESCRIPTION: This is a shave biopsy. MICROSCOPIC DESCRIPTION: The specimen is a shave biopsy of skin present as multiple H&E stained sections on one slide. The pathologic process is that of compact hyperkeratosis with areas of scale crust overlying a regular psoriasiform hyperplasia of the epidermis...
  8. Interesting little read. Thank you for that. I have looked into the body wash, shampoo and detergent but I may try changing what I use to something else that is safe and maybe tailored more for the sensitive skin now that I am having rash issues. I don't think that could hurt anything. Thanks for the tip!
  9. I have been taking 10,000 IU of Vitamin D3 since diagnosis 6 months ago. Initially I was mid 20's when checked and last time I checked it in late February it was 68. I have maintained taking the 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 since that time as well. I have been heavily supplementing since diagnosis. I take a B Complex morning and night, Benfotiamine...
  10. Thanks for your input @Scott Adams. Unfortunately, The dermatologist did some weird biopsies and if it is DH, they didn't see it with the punch biopsy they did. For one, I have been gluten free for 6 months so I don't know if they can get an accurate biopsy on it anyway. Secondly, they took the biopsy in a random clear spot on my forearm not even anywhere...
  11. Are you diagnosed Celiac? Your post doesn't mention why you are gluten free but mentions "other food Intolerances". I was diagnosed celiac 6 months ago and initially going gluten free helped my symptoms immensely. However, about 4 months in, I started to have re-occurring symptoms and actually feeling even worse than before. I had some labs drawn and it showed...
  12. Hello, I have continued to be vigilant in my gluten free diet; sticking with mostly whole foods with the exception of peanut butter, oikos yogurt, larabar's and the very seldom certified gluten free chip/cracker when I just want to have something that makes me feel "normal". I was doing quite well up until the end of February, when I started to have...
  13. @Wheatwacked Thank you for all the valuable info and links! I appreciate your input and tips! Haven't been using mouthwash and toothpaste is gluten free. I'm not on any prescription meds at this time and did finally find some gluten free labeled generic Tylenol which has been much appreciated as I was just trying to tough my way through the constant...
  14. I have been free from headaches since eliminating the spices...I have since broke out with the lovely itchy rash on both hands though. I am assuming it is DH as I have had this before but not since going gluten free. Thank you for the reference! I will check this out. My magnesium was 1.9 on blood draw and I had been taking just 200mg of elemental...
