I went to see the dermatologist today ... My big toe nails came off , hair falling out, and I had a couple of spots I wanted him to look at. My Dr. sent the toenail that came off in to be tested for fungal ,and it was not fungal. So thats why he sent me to the derm guy. Ok Well my toenails he said looked like Lichen Planus, And yes I have that so that made since, My hair is most likely from stress, and one spot he froze off the other spot he took a biopsy of. So all my worries are making my hair fall out lol. The ridges in my nails are also from my Lichen Planus Sooo at least I know I don't have something gross lol it's not catchy! He did tell me if you get a bad rash that itches really bad come back to me. Alot of people with Celiac get that bad rash. I'm like ohh don't even mention a rash because I will get it!

I had to google lichen planus because I have never heard of it. Learn something new every day. Hopefully your stress levels can come down so your hair doesn't keep falling out!! But wig shopping could be fun... (enter 80s costuming sequence with catchy song overdubbed) ... silver lining? ;)

Here is a gold lining - the. "celiac rash" isn't likely to happen to a celiac who is gluten free and have never had DH before. Nice the derm knew there was something! Too bad he didn't really know anything about it.

I sure hope not! Thanks !! That makes me feel so much better! Yea I guess he isn't a "Real" Derm He was a P.A. So I will let him slide! I know you guys know more about this stuff than most Drs. I sure hope I don't ever get the "Rash" gosh I don't know how some of you deal with it all. I did have a rash on my back at first but it wasn't DH and it's gone, thank goodness!! Whew! Gotta love gold linings :)

      Our bodies functions differently

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Bernade! There are a couple of possibilities here what is causing your up and down experience since being diagnosed with celiac disease and beginning the gluten free journey. One is that you are not yet consistent in avoiding gluten. It is easy to avoid major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta but to arrive at a completely gluten free state on a consistent basis is much harder and involves a real learning curve. Gluten is found in some many food products that you would never expect to find it in. Just a couple of examples: soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually). Gluten can be in medications, pills and supplements as a filler. And if you are still eating out at restaurants you are very likely getting "glutened" by cross contamination even when you have ordered foods that are naturally gluten free. Another is that you have other food intolerances in addition to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community and the most common culprits are dairy, oats, soy, eggs and corn. Some foods have proteins that resemble gluten closely enough so as to cause a celiac reaction for some celiacs.

      Dealing with Celiac for 6 months now at first I felt fine and thought it’s a bunch of nonsense it’s not going to make much difference if I have gluten or not I could deal with it how bad could it be??? I try now very very hard to not even smell gluten it is such a very very misunderstood issue.But honestly there are days I feel great then others feeling horrible like body aches headaches and nausea and I just don’t know why I do not eat it I read everything is it airborne can there be other things we just don’t know about yet is there a medication we need to take or should??? Anyone have the same issues???

      My 16yr daughter was recently diagnosed

      My daughter was diagnosed with autoimmune disease and has been gluten free for over 8 years it has been very challenging but it has been a wonderful experience and we together have learned a lot now we cook meals together go to places that are gluten friendly and honestly it’s is a lot easier than you think… everyone has there own journeys for sure never feel alone or down life has wonderful things that come along for more then we expect.💖
