Dermatologist Wouldn't Due A Biopsy. :-@ (X Post...sorry Didn't Know There Was A Dh Board)

NP said "well if the blood test were negative? then why test?" 

 

Hmmmmm how about you should biopsy a persistent skin rash in general before you go prescribing medication??? So then the doctor comes in and says she has two other patients with DH and my rash is not the areas that DH presents. Really...currently on face, neck, back, scalp...scars on arms and chest from past issues??? Not many other areas left???

 

Scolding me for scratching...that's why they aren't healing...use this medication for 14 days so the areas can heal. Ok...so I ask...this will heal the areas, but will it stop new spots from developing? "If new spots occur put medication on them and DON'T SCRATCH". Ok so if medication is so strong I can only use it for 14 days...what happens after that? 

 

It's like I'm asking for a full body scan or something radical and expensive???? Skin biopsy...in office procedure.

 

So do I try to find another doctor...I mean how do you know until you get there? I don't want to waste more time and $ going to doctors who will refuse to actually DX something...I say that again because why not biopsy to see WHAT it is...of course by her ignorance on the matter I figured she'd have not done the biopsy correctly anyway. 

 

OR do I just cut out gluten and see what happens? I haven't gone back to GI yet because I was going to see what the skin biopsy results were. He was certain it was "just IBS" but at least he ordered the Celiac panel which was negative. 

 

PCP in FL (I'm back in OH), is concerned with SED rate of 65, normal is under 20...she wants to know what my doctors here are saying is the reason...um yeah the doctors HERE suck and have not said anything about...she would like it checked again got see if it's still high. I told her I'd try...but doctors around here don't seem to like educated patients.

      Dr. Reddy’s Sandoz sumatriptan gluten-free?

      By elizabethhousworth · Posted

      It wasn't the pharmacist. It was the manufacturer. I called Reddy Labs. Reddy Labs said that their Sumatriptan SUCC has gluten in it. The government website information is from December, 2020. So do I trust 4-5 year old information or the information that the manufacturer told me today? Given that it is for my profoundly autistic, developmentally disabled son with celiac disease and migraines who cannot tell me if he suspects he has been exposed to gluten, I went with the information from the manufacturer given to me today. I do wish I had brought them home and run my EZ Gluten and LEOverified test on one of the pills crushed up. But I was so shocked when the manufacturer told me that the pills contained gluten that I put them in the CVS medicine disposal immediately.

      People say lots of things, but the site above is a government website and should have the correct ingredients (perhaps ask the pharmacist where they got their info?).

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      By cococo · Posted

      They’re a Canadian brand so I’d assume you’d be able to buy from the US. You can buy them directly from their website but also on iHerb.  Hope your daughter feels better soon.

      Thanks for the recommendation. I see it’s an Australian brand. Wonder if we can buy it here I the US?

      Histamine intolerance and supplements

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  After months of suspecting everything being gluten contaminated, I think it’s histamine intolerance mimicking some glutening symptoms. The biggest thing that settled it was my daughter’s neurological reaction fermented foods and probiotics general. I’ve tried this twice within a gap of six months. I do recognize now in addition to that avocado, spinach, oranges, and tomatoes absolutely make things worse.  I see a lot of ppl here having tested their DAO levels via blood test, but I can’t seem to get an allergist to even recognize the condition, let alone to test for it. Additionally, I was wondering if there was any correlation between nutritional deficiency and histamine intolerance, and if any of you have seen reduction in histamine issues post supplementing.  Thank you.
