Need Clarification -- I'm New To This

I have been reading everyone's discussions with regard to psoriasis and DH. Are there places where DH is more common? Are there places where psoriasis is more common? I have been diagnosed with Sebo-psoriasis (definitely seborrhea, but not quite psoriasis), but the bumps I have on my face and scalp sound like what you guys are describing as DH. Blistery-looking, bleeding, etc. The dermatologist I went to just gave me 5 different prescriptions to put on it (mostly cortisone topicals). It made it less red, but didn't really make it go away. Since I've started gluten-free, they're not as bad -- can you still get them biopsied???

I don't have DH, but I do have psoriasis. It is common to be in the scalp or start there. It is often found on the same spot--both sides of the body. It can start out as red and then grow into a larger spot with thick white flakes--some people describe them at oatmealish...

      How are you doing, @sadiec123? Did you get through the holidays alright? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies? Many newly diagnosed Celiacs are low in Vitamin D and many of the B vitamins like thiamine. Thiamin insufficiency can cause weight loss and loss of appetite (anorexia) as well as affect mood. Benfotiamine has been shown...

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      I agree, @Sarah Marie, it's best to keep eating gluten and get on the doctor's cancellation list. Some people have extreme symptoms when reintroducing gluten after a brief abstinence. Be sure she consumes six slices of bread or gluten-y equivalent a day in the two weeks prior to the endoscopy. There are different amounts of gluten in different products...

      Wow! That's really good information. I have noticed that my Celiac symptoms are ever increasingly seeming like allergy symptoms as well. Stuffed up head, horse throat post navel drip symptoms. I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand how to follow the links you sent for the expanded version of non-histamine diet? Are those Instagram addresses? Because I don't...

      Canker sores can be more frequent if deficient in zinc, Thiamin B1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B6, Cobalamine B12, Folate B9, iron and Vitamin D. Following a low histamine paleo diet helps heal. Mast cells in our body make histamine and release it as a part of the inflammation process. Foods that contain high histamine levels can make inflammation...

Thank you so much for that reply. To my knowledge, I'm okay on all of those things. Although I don't think that I've been tested for zinc. I do know when the flu's going around I try taking zinc mixed with quercetin but that seems to put my autoimmune into overdrive. As does some of these over-the-counter things which are recommended for traveling. To boost the immune to prevent sickness. Also things like echinacea and elderberry which you would think would be innocuous
