    Welcome LadyofLove, Unfortunately dairy is a curse to some of us, including me. I was diagnosed in 09 and still can't tolerate dairy. Late last year I did a test with Everywell( https://www.everlywell.com/) and dairy came up as a No No, but cheddar cheese came up as ok. I've tried it moderately several times with positive results. I will pick and choose...

    Here's a general reply to a simple search that includes Celiac Disease: People also ask What is Club fingers a symptom of? Clubbed fingers is a symptom of disease, often of the heart or lungs which cause chronically low blood levels of oxygen. Diseases which cause malabsorption, such as cystic fibrosis or celiac disease can also cause clubbing...

    Hi EmmaR, Did the Doctor check your Thyroid?

    Rita06, I hope you're on to something, but meanwhile I suggest you get properly diagnosed!

    Welcome Cluelesslycontaminated, I suffered with hives and tummy pain from an infant to age 56 as well as pimples that started when I was 12 that were quite often symmetrical in nature. In a period of 30 year I went to 4 different Dermatologist. The last one tested me for Dermatitis Herpetiformis(DH) on the first visit. Two weeks later the test came back...

    The topic of Gluten in Toothpaste should come up in the search function, as it was discussed quite a few times. I stick with Tom's Toothpaste, because it's Gluten Free!

    IMO, First, You need a strict gluten-free diet, Second, You need to visit a Hematologists to study your low blood count. Third, You need a General Practitioner that understands Celiac Disease. Just as important, Don't forget to visit your GI Doctor. Good Luck

    Hi JD, I have DH and just skin contact with gluten can cause a DH rash on my body. Not everyone is that sensitive.

    Bobby123, First, did the gluten-free diet improve your life? Next it would help to know a little about your daily diet. I was use to eating as much as I could and never gaining weight, but I had to learn to cut back after being diagnosed. Fourteen years later and I often feel hungry after eating. When I eat balanced meals, my energy level is usually...

    Sneaker, What kind of inflammation?

    Raquel 2021, This link may help: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamin-b12-or-folate-deficiency-anaemia/symptoms/

    Raquel 2021, Has your Vitamin B-12 been checked lately? Eve the low end of the safe level can be an issue for some of us. I found that out last Friday.

    There was a time that I avoided vinegar, but I found out that I could use distilled unflavored vinegar. I hope this works for you.

    FYI, Heinz Ketchup is safe for me, but Hunts Ketchup sets off my Dermatitis Herpetiformis. Distilled flavored vinegar may be a problem if the flavoring contains gluten. Many of your questions have already been answered here. You just need to use the site search function for most of your questions .

    How were you diagnosed?

    Bobby123, Do you have DH?

    Ginger 38, Can you tell us what brand digestive enzyme pills you took?
  19. captaincrab55
    Saf, Were you ever tested for DH? Do you ever get symmetrical break outs on your body? My Dermatologist tested me for DH and the results proved I had it as well as celiac.
  20. captaincrab55
    Skin contact will set off my DH.
  21. captaincrab55
    Hakanx, If you have the type of Celiac with Dermatitis Herpetiformis and can't take dapsone as well as breaking out from skin or gut contact your Dermatologist can sign off on a disability. It is a legit SS disability as well as some employer/induvial disability plans

    Scott, I have DH and it cost me two visits to my Dermatologist, one in Florida and one in Maryland. I broke out in Maryland just before driving down to my new home in Florida and made an appointment with my Dermatologist there. By the time I was seen the rash was clearing up. I returned to Maryland 2 weeks later and the rash broke out again. I made an...

    First, you never defined the amount of cross contamination. Reactions may vary widely amongst us. I happen to have DH too and it's not very forgiving. A small serving of Hunts Ketchup can cause a rash on me that may last days or weeks. My observation is that we all may react different.

    One small slice of the wrong pizza will do me in for the rest of the day/night. On top of that I have DH and the itch will follow for days. IMO a cheat day is like playing a game of suicide with your health. Good luck finding your real self, because I'm not playing a game with my health.

    I found Nature Made D3 labeled as Gluten Free and Nature's Bounty D3 labeled as No Wheat, No Gluten as well as No to several other ingredients. I've taken both brands over the years without any issues. Having DH, my body would start breaking out within a few days if they contained Gluten.
