She first thought they were mosquito bites, then hives from stress due to caring for her mom after she had a stroke. She's been slathering her rash with hydracortisone cream 3 times a day and refuses to talk to her doc about it. I brought up dh and celiacs and at first she was in utter denial but then told me she wen gluten free and the rash didn't itch...

So our dermatologist appointment isn't until December . Her rash is in full swing again. It was looking pretty tame for a couple of weeks. The have been eating my moms cooking a lot and she uses gluten everything. She even throws it in where it isn't necessary at all. She's been under a lot of stress lately and has been complaining of a rash that...

Thanks so much. I just have this feeling that something isn't right. I am not one to take my kids to the doc for any little thing. They go for well visits and and if there is something I can't fix they go in. Out of 5 kids we've had maybe 4 sick visits all together so far ( plus all the visits for one broken arm). I sometimes feel like a crazy person...

I haven't had a single attack in 8 months by avoiding gluten. I was having constant attacks while following the gallbladder diet. I would think that if I truly had a ba gallbladder that I would be having a lot of attacks still? I eat very high fat now because in addition to being gluten free I also eat primal.( since about 6 months ago) So no processed...

No one has been diagnosed. I suspect my dad has it. He's always had intestinal issues. He can't poop but every 3 days or so and that is while taking 8 tablespoons of Metamucil in water a day. Before that he only went every 7-10 days. He's always had a large bloated stomach, and always had constant gas. He also has very painful 'gallbladder' attacks...

My 4 year old daughter is getting the testing for the rash. Unfortunately the appointment isnt until December 3rd. Apparently the dermatologist is very good/popular so the wait is long. I'm trying to document ever stage with pictures and a food journal. She has had the rash most of her life and as a baby was gluten free ( no rash) because of severe...

I found some up close pics of when the rash was starting to go from barely there to worse. It's the only time I've gotten pics of fluid in the bumps. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a554/brightersideoflife1/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps77e5a16e.webp

I'm just tying to see if it's normal toddler belly or not. I may just be paranoid

What did it look like? My 2.5 year old has a big belly but you can see his ribs. He's small for his age too. He frequently points to his tummy and says 'hurts', but I can't find anything wrong. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a554/brightersideoflife1/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpscc1ef96f.webp Does this look like a normal toddler belly to you? He...

I was looking at pics online and the red Shiny crease under her arm could be inverse psoriasis. But all the red dots that are raised don't look right for that skin condition. Maybe it's 2 different things going on? It's not under her other arm either and dh is supposed to affect both sides usually? Psoriasis needs a biopsy to diagnose too doesn't it...

Good to know about the steroids. We occasionally use hydracortisone cream on our daughter. I haven't for about 3 weeks because I was actually hoping her rash would be really bad ( horrible I know) when she went to the doc so they would take me seriously.

Thank you! I think I already read most of this stuff. I want to be well versed in this skin issue. I just can imagine what else it could be. It has been there under her arm and down her side for years! It's not just her I'm worried about. We have 5 kids and my oldest fell off her weight and height curve completely. She went from the 25th percentile...

Does it have to be a biopsy or can it be a skin scraping? How do I convince the derm to do a biopsy? I'm sure they will just want to do a scraping.

Thanks for the Reply. Does it look like dh? I think this is what it is and the nurse practitioner we saw today that gave us the referral to the derm thought that's wha it looks like too. I felt practically giddy that someone listened. The np said the dermatologist would do a skin scraping, is that the same as a biopsy? I always thought a biopsy was...
