ARCHIVED Possible Dh... Would Like Your Input
Ctrain replied to Ctrain's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Haha Thank you for your help Squirming! I'm glad I won't be joining you guys as well. I can indeed empathize, however, with the condition as it's awfully similar to what I've had... except that I tend to flare up from different triggers -

Thank you! Well, it's over 12 hours since my pasta meal, and no symptoms whatsoever! I'm so happy! Thanks for your help guys -

Hey guys. I thought I would update this to say that I just ate a huge pasta dinner... I'll let you know what happens! I'm pretty certain at this point that at most, gluten may be contributing to very severe eczema, and that I am not likely gluten intolerant. Wheat is a known cause of eczema in people who are not generally sensitive to gluten. -
Haha, yes of course! Now, about those photos...

Thank you for all of the input guys! Indeed, it really seems like you can't win with DH There's no reliable way to get a diagnosis, and if you want to try you've got to be eating gluten + you mustn't have used steroids in months!? Everyone's looks different, it comes and goes on its own, and it's one of the itchiest extant skin conditions. Wow...

Hey Aerial, My rash looks almost exactly like yours. There is no question in my mind that we have the same rash. I can also identify with the EXTREMELY itchy thing that wakes you up. And the volcano eruption description. Hot water really gets me, and hot steam (like with cooking) the hot water too but not as much. Sweating definitely makes it more...

Eat, I just wanted to add another thing. I don't have depression or anything like that. Believe me, I know what clinical depression is and I do not have it right now. In fact, I don't have any symptoms of celiac besides the possible DH. -

Eat, please don't worry! Haha, I wrote the line about the suicide as a semi-humorous example! The most interesting people I know contemplate suicide at least once a year! When I search google, there are some absolutely crazy skin conditions on there. I'm sure that there are many skin conditions that are just as bad, or much worse, then DH. Just the... -

Haha, great post! Well I will certainly post up on the board if I eat the big pasta meal. I've always been a huge bread and pasta aficionado, so I was used to eating a couple pounds of wheat product per day before I began the gluten free diet. Regarding the doctors and diagnosis, I've found that when it comes to dermatitis and skin conditions in... -

Thanks for your response Squirming! I really like your name, because it reminds me of the itches I've gotten these three months where your nervous system makes your body jump involuntarily because the itching is sooooo intense! Regarding the diagnosis, it really comes down to one thing. If I decide that I definitely have DH, I will go so a Dermatologist... -

Ctrain replied to Ctrain's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Thank you for your response! Now that I am actively researching DH, I understand that it can take many different forms and present very different types of symptoms. I was dismissing DH before precisely because my rash does not fit the traditional stereotypes, and I had not noticed any correlation between flare ups and eating gluten. It doesn't seem... -
Hello folks, I've been reading through the forum this afternoon, you have a great community here. There is a strong possibility that I have DH, and I'm hoping that some of you won't mind sharing your opinions with me. Three months ago, I developed an intense itching all over the body outside of the neck, face and soles and palms. Within a few...
