Fighting this on my left shin for 4 months.  I also have dry patch of chicken bumps on my thigh and bumps that turn to scabs on my outer elbows.  Just started eliminating gluten and dairy.  I have been to the Derm 4x and sm currently on my 2nd to last day of Prednisone.  I have been using Dapson gel topical for 2.5 weeks.  Only slight improvement.  This just wont heal.  This is the 3rd time I have had this in the last 20 years.  Last time was the opposite shin but it didnt spread.  Lasted 8 months.

Welcome to the forum. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis, or are you self-diagnosed? If your rash is related to gluten it will take a few weeks on a 100% gluten-free diet to see relief.

To post an image click "Choose files" and select your image, then put your mouse cursor where you want the image inserted, then click on the image's "Insert" link.

There is a short time limit on editing an existing post. I think maybe 15 minutes. My advice would be to create a new post and then click on three dots in the upper right corner to get a menu. Choose "Edit" from the menu and you should now see the paperclip icon at the bottom of the post window for attaching.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
