Dh On Toes?

After I had a bath tonight I realized that my skin on my toes was very flaky, almost looking like psoriasis (and I do know the bubble bath I use only really bothers my feet! They are the only part of the body that has trouble with bubble bath)..

So i think I can add one more area of me with DH to my big list they nobody needs to know about. :lol:

Anyone else has it on their toes??

Perhaps it isn't DH but eczema. Does it look like all your other dh?

Could your feet be coming in contact with gluten some other way?

I walk around the house barefoot all the time. My dog is a very sloppy eater, and there are usually a few pieces of dog food (full of gluten) on the kitchen floor, which I have been known to step on :o .

Fortunatly, this hasn't caused me any problem - but it could. If I were getting it on my hands, I would immediately run to the sink and wash them, but it's not as easy to run to the tub and wash my feet :P .

OMG Kevsmom, I never even thought about that!! (picking it up the floor)...the rest of the house is messy eaters, and dads always complaining about crumbs everywhere...maybe I am stepping on bread crumb and it affecting my feet and setting off the bit of DH/psoriasis. And plus the bubble bath isnt varified gluten-free, but I made sure there is no wheat in it...

Yes, DH on toes, - it's nasty. :( Been dealing with it for years. Comes from eating gluten, not walking on it. The reaction always starts in the digestive tract.

In my experience DH between the toes and the fingers is awful to deal with. The only worse place is between our legs :( I hope this clears up soon for you. I also react from skin contact alone, I don't get GI problems but I can tell immediately if something I have been using is gluten filled, my hands peel and every line in my fingers and palms turns white and the skin turns red. I personally would make very sure that bubble bath if gluten-free.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
