  1. Hi All! I've had a chat on the phone to my mum in advance of my Drs appointment on Weds. Confirmed my family history: Mum = Hashimotos Thyroiditis Lactose intolerant Gluten intolerant IBS IgA Nephropathy (Kidneys) Diabetes Uncle: Crohns Disease & Coeliac Aunty: IBS & Osteoporosis Uncle: Hughes syndrome...
  2. Thanks to everybody that has taken the time to read and reply to me on this thread! One "symtpom" I forgot to mention is one that I've only noticed in the last year. I was reminded as it happened tonight when I got home from work. I was hungry but considering I'd had a filling breakfast, a late lunch and a snack only about 60/90 minutes earlier, I was...
  3. Hi AWOL, that's okay, I don't seem to get notifications unless someone quotes me in their reply. Thanks for your reply. That sounds like a nightmare for you to try and get a help!

  4. Hi Knittykitty and JMG (Matt). Thank you both for your input about optic neuritis. That is so interesting to learn that it was related for both of you to gluten.

I certainly don't know when to expect mine. Although I'd never thought to suspect gluten before, as I associated gluten intolerance and/or celiac disease with much more...
  6. Thank you for your comments Greenbeanie and Victoria1234 ? Greenbeanie, no I've not been tested for other allergies. I've used latex products fine over the years. I do remember the finger bumps were particularly bad when I'd been using paint a lot one time. When the lower back rash appears it is greatly exacerbated by exercise as that's where I...
  7. Hello wise people! I'm looking for some advice from those in the know. I have a reoccurring elbow rash (bilateral) that comes and goes. First episode about 10 yrs ago at age 20. It presents as skin coloured bumps that are really itchy on both outer elbows. Over the course of 1 to 2 weeks the bumps may turn pinker and then dry out. I saw a Dr...
