Does Itching With No Rash When Glutened Mean Dh?

I recently when gluten-free (3 weeks ago) when I last went to my doc. Was talking about an ongoing itch problem. Localized, only on my shins, and it seemed unrelated to any lotions, clothes, detergent, I was using. I had no rash, and the skin would only get red and inflamed if I had to go to scratching it (duh). It has subsided since going Gluten Free. Is this DH, or a milder form, or am I just crazy?

I don't know abjout your itching but I have a problem with my arms. I feel like little pins being stuck into the top of them most of the time.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By trents · Posted

      Well, I wouldn't rule either out. And you might consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. That would tell you a lot. By the way, the incidence of other bowel diseases is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. And even if you don't have celiac disease, you could have NCGS. Gluten is just problematic for a lot of folks for various reasons.

      Thanks for taking a look. I also just did some research and saw that increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes and villous distortion can possibly be from lymphocytic colitis (which I was diagnosed with this past summer)....so fingers crossed this is what she will say it is.

      IMO, Part 3 has some abnormalties that could indicate the early stages of celiac disease but the doctor is tentatively thinking not, at least at this point.
