Has anyone had a blister type rash with celiac?

Could be dermatitis herpetiformis ("DH") which is a classic expression of celiac disease and which has no other known cause.

Yes!! had it earlier this year (thought it was hives, lasted over 2 weeks) along with numerous other things (stye in my eye, athletes foot) that I had NEVER had before in my life.  Explains a lot.

Have you been tested for DH or celiac disease and have you been confirmed to have either by formal diagnosis?

Are you following a strict gluten free diet?

I am following a gluten free diet yes.  I was thinking maybe I am lacking in vitamins I was very low on Vitamin d when I got diagnosed.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are very common, especially in those who are newly diagnosed. Are you taking supplements that include a B Complex, as well as D? Have you had your levels re-checked?

@Natalie youds,

"Blister rash hands and feet"  

Could you describe your rash a little more?  

Have you compared your rash to pictures of DH? 

Is the rash on the top of your hands and feet or on your plans and soles of your feet?  

Does the rash get worse when exposed to the sun?

I used to get blisters on my fingers, that itch, and extremely itchy fingers after exposure to sugar.  Then the skin dries out and breaks open into sores... this part can last up to months, depending on how much sugar or over what period of time. I still get this today if I am inadvertently exposed to sugar.

Yes. Mine was weird though because it did not present itself above the skin. It felt more like I was walking on blistered skin but the blisters were not visible and went away after a day.

Sometimes people with celiac disease (and other diseases) get eye styes and athlete's foot

No offense intended but I wouldn't be so quick to blame eye styes and AF on celiac disease.  Not every medical problem in life is related to celiac disease.  Sometimes "stuff" just happens unrelated to celiac disease.   Esp. styes and AF which happen to so many people ALL. THE. TIME.   Sometimes, things are just a coincidence and happen after diagnosis with celiac disease.

true, and very possible...it's just that all these things happened in the months leading up to diagnosis...had never happened prior and has not happened since I went gluten free

      Second child with Celia

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit. We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel. He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's...

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      I'm heading to the UK for a vacation the end of this month on a tour with Road Scholar. I haven't been out of the US since my diagnosis so I'm a little concerned about exposure to gluten during my travels. Most of our meals are provided by the tour. Either the hotels we are staying at, or places we will visit. Road Scholar is aware of my dietary needs as...

      Were the two tests done by the same lab? Do the tests have the same normal ranges? Each test manufacturer uses their own system of units when reporting results. Have your results gone down at all since diagnosis? Are you sure you’re gluten free? Do you eat at restaurants? I would recommend that you take a really good look at your gluten free d...

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested.

Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?

Either the hotels we are staying at, or places we will visit. Road Scholar is aware of my dietary needs as well. Any helpful hints about navigating the restaurants in England is greatly appreciated. Also are there any medications out there to help mitigate the effects of exposure to gluten? Thanks in advance.

      Were the two tests done by the same lab? Do the tests have the same normal ranges?  Each test manufacturer uses their own system of units when reporting results. Have your results gone down at all since diagnosis?  Are you sure you’re gluten free? Do you eat at restaurants? I would recommend that you take a really good look at your gluten free diet. It took six years for me to get all my results down to the normal range (I was originally positive for TTG IgA, TTG IgG, DGP IgA, DGP IgG and EMA). I started just avoiding wheat, rye and barley.  My results came down but one was still high.  Then I made sure any processed foods were labeled gluten free.  My results came down more but one was stubbornly positive.  Then I would only eat processed foods if certified gluten free or from a manufacturer with an excellent reputation among those with celiac disease.  All my results were finally normal. My results went back up a little when I started doing a lot of baking with a reputable but not certified gluten free flour.  When I switched to certified gluten free flour my results went back down to normal.
