I'm sure you can. My symptoms of DH have changed. When I was little, I used to get bumps like that on my elbows, knees, back, and forearms. I still occasionally get them on the forearms but it seems now that I only get it on my hands and in a sort of different form. Probably because the rest of my body is generally covered in some other form of hives or rash...

I was able to get prednisone from my doctor yesterday but so far no difference. It's little blisters all over my hands that looks like poison ivy, but there's no way I could have poison ivy as I've been indoors with a sunburn for a week from the beach and I live in a big city where I don't come across nature- and certainly not poison ivy- often. Less heat...

I haven't been diagnosed, but I have had the symptoms for about 2 years. I was told that most were "normal" and that the rashes were just chronic hives. I am still young though- 19- so had I not had strong DH symptoms, I probably never would have started a gluten free diet and seen an improvement!

Anyone have any luck? I'm leaving tomorrow on a 32 hour train ride (each way!) from Boston to Nebraska, and I'm kind of scared about the food issue. I don't have room to pack any food except for some carrot sticks. I should be able to find things at the restaurants for my stops (Rochester, NY and Chicago) but in between Chicago and Lincoln it's 12 hours and...

Thanks for everyone's advice! It actually looks exactly like poison ivy which I would have assumed it was if there wasn't any possible way that I could have an ivy reaction. I've had a severe sunburn for the past week before the rash broke out and so I've stayed inside and relaxed (no work because my internship is over for the summer). I literally did...

Has anyone had luck with their naked burritos? No wrap, just rice, beans, and whatever. I always get it vegetarian. However, my gluten issues are all skin reactions from what I can see, so I haven't really gotten a reaction that way.

So, I've suspected Celiac for awhile and had previously cut gluten out of my diet. I currently have a DH outbreak on my hands so bad that I've been crying for the past few hours (it burns and itches beyond anything I've ever had before) and I can't bend my fingers or put my hand into a ball. However, because health insurance in this country is horrible, I...

Do you think it's worth going to the hospital for? Like... I'm in for a 32 hour train ride on Tuesday that cannot be cancelled or postponed and it HURTS just to type this because my fingertips are covered and it's only getting worse. My doctor is only at his office where I can get to on Tuesdays so I won't be able to see him and there's an urgent care facility...

I wasn't gluten free last year at school but I will be this year and have already contacted the nutritionist. Supposedly, she's a total ditz but she has done very well getting modifications with people with food issues. And she better, because since I live on campus, I have to pay something like 3K for a meal plan and I don't have money to go off campus...

Well, I'm still a teen for a few more months! I am living right now in Cambridge, MA which is right across the river from Boston. I go to school right outside of Boston and occasionally go home to north Georgia. No one from Mass OR Georgia here! Sad!

That's a great idea. I'm meeting with my school nutritionist straight off because I have gluten sensitivity (haven't been Dxed celiac, but I have DH so it will happen soon), allergic to dairy, and am also following South Beach Diet because those issues have made me blow up in terms of weight and I need to lose at least 70 pounds. Yeesh. My school is very...

So, I'm pretty positive that what I have is DH. I'm currently going through a horrible breakout and in researching it, I've come to believe that the little unseeable bumps on my scalp might be related as well. I have on and off gotten the bumps on my fingers (and similar bumps on my legs, but not as often and different looking) but right now is the first...
