Hi, so I go back to dermatologist to get my stitches out and find out biopsies results. So now they are saying it’s a type of hives and there thinking it’s coming from my B12 that I started 6 weeks ago. Which was around this time I got terrible rash all over top part of body now it’s on my face neck and some in scalp hairline. So they told me to stop the b12 for 2 weeks take antibiotics and Zyrtec 3 times a day. I just don’t know what to think. Now get this I was low in B12 that s why I was told to start taking them. So  got the natures valley gummies B12 for adults. Anyone ever had this problem

      Ingredients with B vitamins

      Liver is one of the healthiest foods to eat notwithstanding cholesterol and fat. Liver also has higher amounts of vitamin A and copper so to avoid getting caught up in that I eat 1/2 ounce per day.

      Confusing results

      By MariaC · Posted

      Thank you for your replies. I went to see a Gastroentologist and he thinks I am 100% celiac. That not only would explain the anemia but also the fact that my iron levels and haemoglobin are not recovering as fast as they should… I am still waiting on the final results of the coeliac serology but the consultant said that if they come back negative I’ll need to get them done again 😩

      Has anyone else had DH in their genital area?

      By MO1984 · Posted

      My dermatitis herpetiformis has migrated over my body over the years, and landing lately on my anus/genitals, and while it is terrible, the ONLY thing I’ve found to greatly help discomfort, and *I think* speed healing is Penaten Creme. It’s a German butt cream for babies…worked amazingly on me as a baby, and my mom gave it to me when I had my daughter. One night I was so uncomfortable I thought “it eases her rash, let me try it on mine” and OH MY GOD. Relief.     It has zinc, lanolin, witch hazel among other things. Anyhoo, HIGHLY recommend this for relief.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wormsy22! Yes, unfortunately many doctors are not clear on proper testing protocol for Celiac Disease, much less the treatment. If we remove gluten from our diet, the antibodies our bodies produce against gluten go down.   I went gluten free on my own.  My doctors had laughed at me when I suggested testing for Celiac Disease.  Later, to get a proper diagnosis, I couldn't finish the gluten challenge because my body reacted so extremely.  Symptoms get way worse with reintroduction.  A gluten challenge requires 10 grams (4-6 slices of bread, pizza, etc.) to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies get into the bloodstream.  Less than 10 grams will make one sick (the antibodies stay in the gut wreaking havoc), but won't elicit sufficient antigluten antibodies in the bloodstream.  I ended up getting diagnosed by DNA testing and improvement on a gluten free diet.  Celiac Disease is genetic.  Having Celiac genes doesn't mean you have active Celiac Disease, just the potential to develop it.  Your genes don't change, so no gluten challenge required.  Improvement on a gluten free diet points to active Celiac genes. If you remove gluten from your diet, you also remove a big source of B vitamins since wheat/gluten containing products are required to be enriched with vitamins lost in processing.  Malabsorption of essential nutrients due to damaged intestines caused by Celiac Disease and reduced sources of vitamins and minerals results in malnutrition, aka vitamin deficiencies.  There's eight B vitamins, each of which are needed for proper nerve and muscle function.  Being low in these vitamins can cause the symptoms you and I have experienced.   Most B vitamins can be stored for a month, but Thiamine B1 can become depleted in as little as three days to three weeks.  Thiamine is needed to produce energy for the cells to function.  So nerve cells misfire, muscle cells misfire, and the brain, where all these messages get sent, is affected.  MRIs showing brain damage caused by Thiamine deficiency is most frequently found postmortem, though changes may be seen before then, and damage is reversible is possible, IF recognized and treated properly and promptly.  My doctors didn't recognize my symptoms of nutritional deficiencies, but having studied microbiology and nutrition at university, I did, as far fetched as it sounded.  I took over-the-counter vitamins and had symptom improvement within an hour.   Look at this study where people (not diagnosed with Celiac Disease nor malabsorption problems) became deficient in Thiamine quickly.  They had no long-term problems because they did Not continue the Gluten free diet like we have to do. Gluten-free diet intervention reduces thiamine intake in two weeks, increases glycaemic response and decreases body weight in four weeks, with no long term nutritional deficiencies https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34583628/ More Interesting Reading: Nutritional Deficiencies in Celiac Disease: Current Perspectives https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8703793/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8451766/ Insufficiency of B vitamins with its possible clinical implications https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7417807/ B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9662251/ Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8533683/
