Could This Be DH? Picture Included

Where is the DH photo bank on here that I've heard mentioned? Also, I sometimes get bumps on my face that sometimes itch and then ooze and crust. Others just go away without any problems. They aren't really in clusters but I usually get 2 or 3 scattered around. Now, I have a straight line of something itchy on my back that I have never had before. I haven't been around any poison ivy, so I know it's not that. It's only located in the one place. I tried taking a picture of it but it was hard to reach. Could this be a form of DH? I know I got a tiny bit of gluten the other day.

Thank you,  but many of the pictures wouldn't show up. Says the site was temporarily down or had been removed.

I'm sorry but you really haven't given any information to go on. The one photo you posted is very blurry. You don't say if you have celiac or not or have ever been tested or what makes you think you might be celiac & therefore this could be dh.

The photo isn't blurry on my end. And yes, I was diagnosed by means of gene test, symptoms, and improvement off gluten. The first doctor didn't test properly and I didn't want to go back and do the gluten challenge when I changed doctors. I had already taken myself off gluten and made a lot of progress. My new doctor gene tested me and I have two copies of celiac genes. One of the doctors at the Celiac Foundation in Chicago also read my test and said I was "at very high risk." My doctor gave me the diagnosis based on all of the above. But I was never sure about some of the little breakouts I get whether they are related to the Celiac or not.

It's too late now to know for sure then. I can tell you if it is dh then you have to make sure you don't get cross contaminated at all ever. Try the Fasano diet for 6 months & see what happens.

      Getting sick much more often

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional absorption is still poor. Edit: I edited my other post to direct it to Sanna King's post.

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour biscuits and I got them mixed up and ate a couple. I am not a super sensitive celiac in the sense of being made ill by small amounts of cross contamination but if I get a significant exposure like I just described it is awful.

      Hi there @Sanna King! I am talking about contracting colds/flu, not gluten reactions. Sorry if I did not make that clear. My stomach symptoms have improved vastly since changing my diet. But I contract colds way more often than I ever had before.
