eczema or dh?

Hi, 
I've got redness and sores on my skin just about everywhere.  It's all up my arms, on my hands, my back, my neck, near my eyebrow.  My skin is quite dry, and flaky, and I do get weeping sores at times, but I do have raised bumps as I believe may be more common for DH.  My neck does seem to be quite red though and dry, and it's been this way for at least a month, I believe.  Do you think this sounds like DH or do you think it's far more likely it's some type of eczema or another form of dermatitis?

Do you have celiac disease?

I can't say a thing based upon what little info. you gave. You don't say if you have celiac disease or if you suspect it. You don't say what this rash feels like. You don't state any other symptoms you have that you think may be related.

You can go get a dh biopsy IF you have been eating gluten every day for the past 12 weeks. Read threads in this forum to find out exactly how the dh biopsy is done.

Just wanted to add ... if you are confirmed to have celiac you should look into the Fasano diet. It has made an incredible difference for this long-time DH sufferer.

      Immediate Reaction

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, yes I get this reaction if I eat gluten by mistake or if I eat high fodmap foods as well.  I become nauseous, vomit then it hits the muscles, my legs sometimes give out.  It takes a while to feel "normal" again.

      IGA and TTG IGA Levels

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The first step would be to re-examine your diet to see if hidden gluten is the cause. Eating out would be the number one source of contamination, even if restaurants offer gluten-free menus and options.

      Strictness with products

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You may want to see al allergist and run a standard food allergy panel to see if wheat allergy could contribute to this, but again, the most likely culprit if you have celiac disease would be gluten contamination.
