ARCHIVED Could Pregnancy Have "triggered" Celiac?
ItchyMeredith replied to maddycat's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I know that this is a really old post but I had to comment. I am so happy to have found this thread. I was trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with me. I have 2 babies.

Hi- This is my first time at this board. I am really excited to find it. My mind is reeling because I have been trying to figure out this rash for 2 yeas and my dermatologist just left a message on my phone saying that my skin biopsy shows that it is DH and I need to go gluten free.
