Possible DH after night of pizza and beer?

I'm a 26 y/o male living with controlled HIV and never had any rash or intestinal issues until I had to stop my medication for 15 days. When I went back on it, the morning after I felt how my back and most joints cracked and popped to only have them sore and pain a few days later. As with my current diagnosis, anything could happen especially if you interrupt the treatment. 

 

I had been feeling a bit exhausted and wasnt completley gluten free when I was invited to a party and ate some yummy pizza and delicious beer. The next morning i woke up to what I assume is DH in different parts of my body. Also had diarrhea (before the diarrhea I had a bit of constipation)

 

I've read enough to see DH may very much be my issue, but my current concern is:

 

1. How quickly do your rashes come and go? 

Mine comes and goes so quickly and its leterally all over except my feet and genital area. (Thank god)

2. Since I'm adhering to a Auto/immune Paleo diet as of 3 days, should I also look out for less Iodine?

Also I've noticed my heartbeat has gone up, not sure if it has been due to stress or lack of sleep since I have been so caught up with my new job as a Flight attendant and its a very demanding, plus now this rash that has been waking me up from the itch!  But I've noticed as my heartbeat intensifies so does my Dh and my body just feels hot all over! 

I cant't wait to see my doctors but am so afraid to skip work and go back to my town (where I can get medica coverage) but will be able on the 22nd! 

Also,

3. Can Naturopaths prescribe Dapsone? I have an appointment when I get back home with one, seeing that my Main doctor is basically an ass%$@#.

I know every person is different but I just want to be enlightened on tendencies! 

Thank you all in advance!!!

I am not sure how you jumped to DH?  I would think it is more likely a reaction to not taking your regular medicine.  Check with your doctors about the side effects of taking and stopping and starting your medicines.

 

 I would hope a doctor would not prescribe dapsone to someone who has not been diagnosed with celiac and DH.  To diagnose you with DH, a dermatologist will biopsy the skin next to an active lesion.

Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease? Your statement, "I had been feeling a bit exhausted and wasnt completley gluten free" implies that you were supposed to be gluten free?????

If you have not been dx'd with celiac, then I fail to understand why you're suddenly thinking you have the dh rash.

Ditto what Karen said.

      Catholic Mass for Celiacs

      By misslemon · Posted

      Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on how to handle Mass as a new Catholic.  I'm looking to take the Mass for the first time in March.  I've been told that the church has a "low gluten" option that is 0.01% gluten.  Is this safe, especially to do every week?   I also read that taking the wine instead could be more of a problem if it gets contaminated with regular crumbs.   I found this information online:  "The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, Missouri, have developed a Communion host that is extremely low in gluten. The host is made from gelatinized wheat starch. The Sisters report the hosts test to a level of 0.01% gluten. At that level, the lowest that could be tested, no gluten was detected. This means that there is less than 0.01% gluten in one of these hosts. The Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated that these hosts meet the requirements of the Code of Canon Law (924 §2) and may be validly used at the celebration of the Eucharist with permission of the person's pastor. The Catholic with celiac disease can now fully participate in Holy Communion with the whole parish family. Catholic celiacs may choose to receive consecrated wine at a regular communion station if their parish offers communion under both species. There is greater risk for contamination using this option. The fraction rite may allow small, yet dangerous crumbs to be in the cup." Thank you for any guidance!

      Bloodwork still postive after 18 months

      By Jenn D · Posted

      My son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease is April 2023. His ttg antibody was over 100 at the time of diagnosis. Now it is at 3 (which is considered negative), but his endomysium antibody iga is still coming up positive. There is no specific number just positive or negative so I'm not sure if he's getting better or not. I'm getting nervous that something else is going on and I was just looking for some advice or an understanding what this "postive" actually means. He gets tested every 6 months. Thank you so much for any responses😊 Attached is a picture of his bloodwork from August 2024

      Popcorn pain

      @JenFur, if this is microwave popcorn you are using, check for added ingredients that could be causing a reaction such as flavorings which might be hidden sources of gluten.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔
