What Other "celiac Rash" Besides Dh?

If you look at my blog post, you will see a picture of my rash that I get every time I get glutened. Today I got glutened from some fried rice at Panda Express (my fault). I'm documenting my glutenings and every single time I break out with this rash on my belly. It's also bloated all around as you can see from the picture too! Any idea what this rash could be? My GI dr. said it's definately a celiac rash but he didn't say what kind and it doesn't itch insanely like DH is supposed to.

 

I can't figure out how to post it here so it's on the blog post I just wrote

Outside of DH (which it really looks like to me), the only other thing i can think of is hives.

answerseeker,  Try going to a Dermatologist.    I have DH (diagnosed by biopsy & blood labs) and it doesn't always act the same.    What makes you so sure your getting Glutened???      I get tummy & lower GI issues from Dairy, Nuts and recently Corn.     It's taken me 4 years and 4 months to add Dairy, Nuts & Corn to my list of foods I can't eat.     Keep in mind that I went through 2 rounds of allergy testing in the past 4 years.    Both times I was negative to those three foods and may never test positive on an allergy test.  

 

  IMO,   a good GI Doctor won't give advice on a skin issue.   He should be sending you to a Dermatologist.    Would you use a Plumber to diagnose your Electrical issues???

 

Good Luck,

I'm not familiar with DH and have not seen your pics, so I don't know if this is similar, but a friend of mine has hidradenitis and recently discovered that avoiding gluten makes it go away.  I don't believe the doctors have connected the two yet, but many who suffer from hidradenitis have.

      Options - 7 year old boy - Helicobacter pylori and serology

      By Kathleen JJ · Posted

      Well, we have an appointment with a pediatrician who specializes in gastrointestinal issues, and subsequently an appointment with a nutritionist on December 6d. So till then it will be google for the win I guess... I have already found a lot of reassuring alternatives for most of his favorite things, which puts my mind at ease. Now we're just having to see how we will navigate the skitrip in march in an all-in hotel and food on the slopes. And how we will manage offering him warm meals daily as he used to eat at school as we can't manage to cook in time before his soccer practice starts as our commute doesn't allow for it... That kind of thing. But we will manage in the end.   I do feel a lot of sadness for him though. He's so small, will never remember the time before the diagnosis when he didn't have to see (some) food(s) as the enemy and even thought that is comforting in a way, it also is quite sad as a notion... I know we now have the opportunity to help him in the best way and help his health, I do. But I also grieve. I can't help it.

      I’m having a terrible time with my employer on this, they put me in an office next to where everyone places food for the department and have reactions when foods containing gluten are present. I’m extreme celiac and have a reaction in some bakery isles at the grocery store. Airborne gluten reactions are real in my world.

      Thank you for the update.  At least now you know what you are dealing with.  Is the system similar to that in the UK in that you will have a follow-up with the gastroenterologist where you can ask any questions you have, and also a referral to a nutritionist?

      We just had his diagnosis confirmed. The biopsy showed Marsch 3B.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      With patients who are experiencing ear ringing and ear pain I first want to make sure there is not any kind of ear infective process verified by your primary care. The next thing that I see as a dentist who treats a lot of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), is that the jaw joint can be having a problem that causes the ringing to happen. My primary care physicians here in Colorado Springs will refer these patients to me for evaluation when they don’t find any source of infection with the ear. We are able to treat with a specific type of mouth splint and get resolution of the ringing and ear pain as we resolve the TMJ problem.  First a visit to your primary care to make sure your inner and outer ear is infection free. And if it is clean, a visit to a dentist who treats TMJ disorders.
