ARCHIVED GI Consult Tomorrow - Help?
stephm replied to stephm's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the reply! The Dr didn't say much, other than that "Dh only appears on the backs of the elbows", and since I did go to a derm he said they were the experts and he couldn't diagnose it - especially since I hadn't been eating gluten as much up 'till the appt. However, he wants to do an endoscopy in 2 weeks. He's said that even if I'm eating a... -
ARCHIVED Relief! And it isn't Dapsone!
stephm replied to squirmingitch's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Hi squirmingitch, Yes it's true - I'd gone to two or three doctors suspecting celiac disease and with my rash, however they all looked at me like I was just buying into the gluten-free hype and not someone with an actual problem. So I decided to take it into my own hands and get as much evidence as I could that gluten (and lack of it) caused/ alleviated... -
ARCHIVED GI Consult Tomorrow - Help?
stephm posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
GI Appt tomorrow; anything that I should know or keep in mind? Background Info: Summer 2015: Extremely dry, flaky skin and scalp leading to dandruff. Lotion, vaseline, steroidal medications did pretty much nothing. Visited derm and all they prescribed me was dandruff shampoos (?). March 2016: Possibly DH, red, blistery and symmetrically patterned... -
ARCHIVED Questions about what our son's gastro told us...
stephm replied to SiandAshs Mom's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Not quite sure if I can help but my experiences have been somewhat similar. I'd been struggling with extremely dry skin/scalp and thought it could be due to fat malabsorption/ my body absorbing it and not using it. So I tried going off gluten for 2-4 weeks and back on it. After I went back on gluten, I started noticing significant differences in my... -

stephm replied to squirmingitch's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Hi squirmingitch, So sorry to hear that you're having to struggle though another outbreak of dh. I dont have anything constructive to say, just that I wish you well and hope you're feeling better soon. I just wanted to comment on how similar my rash has been to yours - so many have said it's eczema but this one is different in that it's symmetrical...- 47 replies

ARCHIVED for those waiting for a positive biopsy and a questions about adrenal issues
stephm replied to ironictruth's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I've been experiencing the same thing - except in opposite! I'm in the process of getting tested for celiac, but I had asthma, eczema, and food allergies (all nuts + peanuts, egg, fish) plus being lactose intolerant. However, I outgrew the childhood asthma and it had lessened so much so that I only had maybe one episode a year at most. Now I've been getting... -
Hi there! I'm new to this forum but it's like a jackpot of great information and advice, so I decided to drop by and introduce myself (and hopefully elicit a bit of advice to my situation as well). Also warning, I'm sorry if the description of my skin rashes may be graphic to you, so I'd just like to let you know in advance. Or you can just read the...
