Son's Testing Results - confused
Metoo replied to Metoo's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
No he hasn't been gluten free because I thought that they said he didn't have celiac. I am really not sure what to do. -
Frustrated...feel like I am allergic to everything? itchy rash
Metoo replied to Metoo's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
well I saw my allergist. He did test me again for the 9 major allergens which came back negative. He suggested I take Allegra 24 Hours, as it has 180mg of antihistamine Daily, because my IgE is very high which indicates an allergy of some kind. He suggested I could take allegra everyday continuoulsy... -

My situation was similar, my rash started on my fingers, then eventually spread to my elbows, and chest/neck area! I will say after 3 months of strict gluten free my rash really did not subside much, it calmed down but hadn't really gone away. I eventually when on Dapsone for a stint...

Super sensitive to MANY things
Metoo replied to Keight's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
All I can recommend is to not go it alone on this. I spent 2 years trying to figure out my sensitivities and avoiding foods and products to try and calm down my reactions. After 2 years...I finally got fed up and saw a dietitian. After eliminating multiple things with the dietitian...I am now... -
How Long does it take for Dapsone to work?
Metoo replied to mrw824's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Hello! It took me about 3 days to really start to feel a difference. After about 2 weeks it was great!! I will say though, I didn't seem to be able to completely heal and stop the DH entirely until I quit dapsone and cut iodine. It was like it just slightly lingered....I also didn... -
Is anyone super sensitive to cross contamination and iodine? About two weeks ago I believe I had some cross contamination....product made on same equipment as wheat, or when I sat down at a break table with crumbs with my computer....and I had a small not bad breakout. Then last week...

How long for DH to appear after a glutening
Metoo replied to Penny80's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I have a full breakout within 24 hours. -
I had DH not while pregnant but I had to cut out dairy, eggs, fish and salt. Took Dapsone and was still struggling. Then eventually cut all packaged gluten free foods...it then took 2 months for the DH to go away, only about 4 weeks for it to stop spreading though! Probably not what you...

Yes mine in areas like my chest were dark pink and stayed that way for almost a month before they would fade. Some areas were more purplish though like my elbows.

I have been on dapsone since January...and have tried 2 times to stop...at which point my rash blew up and the nightmare rash came back! one of those times included eating out...which should have been gluten-free but may have been cross contaminated. I have been ultra strict for more than month...

Hello. I wanted to tell you I seem to be having the same problem...although I am on a lower does between 25-50 mg depending how bad I am broke out. I first cleared on 50mg in 1 week. Now though i seem to be breaking out while on Dapsone from too much salt or iodine. I ate some gluten...

Hello. If you really think its DH, and the dermatologist doesn't give you another answer. Then you could ask for a dapsone trial. I had negative skin biopsies...however it was the most intensely itchy rash of my life, after being gluten free for 2 weeks and ingesting gluten it got worse....

Mine after 5 weeks of gluten-free (also, low iodine/diary free/egg free), was still spreading/new breakouts. The dermatologist put me on low dose dapsone and I am now 4 days in and its starting to calm down and go away. Hopefully it will go completely away in the near future (although some areas...
