Balls of fluid

I never see this as a symptom from others and wonder about it.

Does anyone have balls of fluid under their skin that they can roll around? And are pushing their way out, thus forming the blister?

I have burn and itch and balls that then squish right out, but they won't go back the other way.  Blood comes out too lotsa times.

 

And both sides of neck and base of scalp alot.

Sometimes the ones on my upper back itch and hurt so bad, I dig into the skin to squish them out to relieve it.  But other times they just itch a little and not enough to bug me.

But they always burn days before.  But its not like individual blisters always, its like planes of liquid coming to the top and wanting out and forming balls.

 

I just dont get it.  Its every single day.  And i've tried to be gluten free, but no its not been hundred percent, but still.

I am trying to do this without dapsone since no one will give it to me.

I am not a doctor, didn't you say in a previous post that your doctor suspected another autoimmune disorder,  pemphigoid?   I read that there is a specific antibodies test for this condition.  Maybe that will help with a diagnosis.  If negative, then you could assume you have DH which requires a super strict gluten-free diet. (I went back and read your horrible diagnostic quest.)

If you are gluten free, then study up on the gluten-free diet. Take a very strong position by not eating out and eating whole foods (no processed) as recommended by GI experts dealing with patients who have suspected refractory celiac disease.  

My heart goes out to you.  I hope someone else might have better input as I do not have DH.

      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!

      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

      @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.

      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 🤔
