It's like.. The cream helps calm the areas where I put it, but then new bumps come up. He has a couple on his stomach, a couple on his thighs.. like I'm trying to put out a fire but the fire keeps jumping houses lol.

For a week straight he didnt go to his dad's and has used only aquafor, organic coconut oil soap, and cortizone 10 hydrocortisone moisturizing cream (I put the cortizone cream on after bath to any spots that are red or he says itch). All of the laundry has been washed in All free and clear detergent with no fabric softener. Most of his skin was looking better...

He had allergy testing at 3 and all was negative. He has constant respiratory viruses and reflux and gastrtis. I use an all natural soap that has just coconut oil and a few other things... All organic stuff. We use cortisone and aquafor. He doesn't have any eczema patches.. just gets the bumps that he digs at and then they scab over. I know gluten is...

I hope it's okay that I post in here. I have celiac and 4 kids, none diagnosed. I have already posted a lot of back story in the DH forum and I'm not here to bore you all with that. I'm just curious if anyone has seen eczema like this on their child. My son is 6 and while at the dermatologist for his little sister, he said it looks like it could just be eczema...

http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah217/Krashley4/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-04-07_17.01.35_zpsqxmp8fhr.webp This is how he looks now. Much better than before.. they called yesterday and he has am appointment May 7th!

I just don't think it could be eczema. The backs of his hands and outside of both elbows? And there are no scaly patches. Just sores.
-
So its been a week since we started using the hydrocortisone. His skin was definitely less red by friday, but he still had plenty of what look like scabbed over mosquito bites. Two of he "bite" marks have been there for 3 weeks. He skipped a couple of days of the hydrocortisone while at his dad's and everything was definitely looking more inflamed. He's also...

Would I be way off in thinking a high gluten and iodine diet while using cortisone should tell us if it's dh or molluscum induced eczema? I see where iodine and cortisone can help eczema, but iodine hurts DH and cortisone doesn't help.
-
In the parking lot now about to head home. Daughter has irritant contact dermatitis. He looked at my son and seemed interested until I mentioned DH. He seemed to kinda push away after that. He said that it could be eczema from molluscum and that I would have to make an appointment with him at the children's hospital to set up a biopsy. He HAS done biopsies...

Thank you SO MUCH for taking your time to talk to me and share your info. I have read just about everything there is to know about celiac. I obsessively read medical info and have an MS in health sciences, so I find it fun and fascinating to read journal articles lol. I have read all I can find, but I know that personal experience goes far beyond anything...

My oldest 3 were tested last summer. My son, around his 6th birthday in June, had a scope, biopsy, and blood work. The GI said he had gastritis and no signs of celiac. She couldn't explain why he had gastritis and put him on meds that seemed to help a lot. He's suffered from reflux his entire life- no idea why. He was one of those babies who screamed nearly...

I tried to include pics in the slideshow of both elbows and wrists.. I'm pretty sure they're in there.
-
Open Original Shared Link This should take you to a slideshow. So I know how DH is still celiac and I understand the testing process. I just don't know if this is even anything like DH. I read about different types.. I just feel like he would itch more often. Sometimes during the day he will dig in his skin and at night he often scratches (in his...
-
I really could use some info. I live in the middle of "what's a gluten" land where it takes an eternity to get in to a pediatric dermatologist. I am diagnosed celiac, not DH. My son has had skin issues for a couple of years now. He was initially diagnosed with MCV (contagious water wart type things) but I noticed that they cleared up when he was gluten-free...

ARCHIVED Ttg After Glutening
KB.tpw posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I had a sip of regular beer on accident 3 weeks ago. I paid for it dearly for 10 days and just now am starting to feel better. I had my blood drawn last Thursday to check ttg level. I've been gluten-free since my dx in March. I have my GI followup appt tomorrow and I'm sitting here getting defensive already about my blood work that I haven't even seen..... -
I'm sure it's probably gluten. I know the symptoms have a wide range and yes, I did experience most of these symptoms before. The muscle weakness and lack of coordination are new, but probably would have come had I not gone gluten-free. I don't think it's vitamins, though. I finally found an exact description of the tingling and numbness in my hands with...
-
My symptoms seem to be worsening.. The numbness in my hands is becoming more frequent, my legs are covered in bruises from running into things, and I keep dropping things. My GI isnt exactly experienced with celiac outside of textbooks and I'm becoming worried. I'm getting my ttg tested next week. If levels are down, I'm going to go ahead and ask for the...
-
I was diagnosed in March. I've been gluten-free since, but was glutened pretty bad 9 days ago. I threw up that night, was angry at everything the next day, then felt sad and anxious a few days. For all of the last 9 days, I have been incredibly clumsy- dropping things, running into things.. I've had the tingling and numbness that I used to have come back...

I recently discovered that I have celiac disease; although I thought I had it 4 years ago and gave up on the idea after a false negative test. I don't want to be the crazy mom looking at every tiny thing as a possible symptom, but some things just scream celiac to me. My 8.5 year old daughter was hospitalized for severe stomach pain at 3 years old and discharged...

ARCHIVED Positive Blood.. Any Need For "official" Diagnosis?
KB.tpw replied to KB.tpw's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
So.. my symptoms weren't all that typical. I did have IBS as a young teen to the point that I began homeschooling, but things have gotten much better over the years in that sense. Instead, I dealt with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, low iron.. I was tested and retested and retested for thyroid. Finally, when my hair began to fall out, my nails were... -
ARCHIVED Positive Blood.. Any Need For "official" Diagnosis?
KB.tpw replied to KB.tpw's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thank you for the detailed response! For the ema titer the ref was <1:10 Gliadin peptide less than 20 is negative Transglutamin 19 or less I thought about the nursing home thing; I assumed surely by then they will have better tests available that won't require eating gluten or having a scope. My 5 year old son had a consult with pedi GI and has... -
ARCHIVED Positive Blood.. Any Need For "official" Diagnosis?
KB.tpw posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I've had symptoms most of my life. In 2010 I was tested by my GP for only ttg and it came back serum iga 252 and ttg a 3. I was shocked and disappointed that I had no answers. In February of this year I saw a gastroenterolgist. After repeatedly telling me how unlikely it is that I have celiac and I most likely just have ibs, my results came back- Serum...
