Blisters On Fingers

I am learning more and more about this celiac disease! And with 20/20 hindsite am wondering about symptoms I have had my entire life!

I've gotten a rash on and off since my early 20s. In the spring, usually. It itches and oozes.

BUT my blisters seem to be almost under the skin. They aren't on top, so there are no bumps. Almost like the top wall of the blister is flush with the top layer of skin.

My doc and derm have been stumped...Is this DH?

It could be DH. Has the dermatologist done a biopsy on your skin? They can tell if it is DH if they are looking for it...

I get those, sometimes under the skin (and they hurt), or sort of on my skin and visible. If I don't open them and remove the top layer of skin, they become hardened and more painful, and never go away. I get that problem after getting glutened. I KNOW it is connected to gluten, but the dermatologist claimed that I am wrong, and it is just eczema. Whatever.

I find though that a homeopathic eczema cream called 'Execalm' is helpful (after opening those blisters). It also helps on the other rashes I get.

Right...they kept pumping me full of antibiotics and topical creams saying it was ATYPICAL ECZEMA.

Yeah,,,,naybe cause its not. Sorry if I could snippy...but since going gluten free my skin has cleared up, the blisters on my face gone....although I am still elarning so once in a while I get accidentally glutened and I get some on my head or a spot on my hand and after I feel better they go away.

Try thr diet first before a biopsy....its comes down to what you're comfortable with. I myself...Unless something doesn't make me feel better....I am sick of doctors trying to make me just another procedure.

My GI (now I need to find a new one) said...."Pish posh....I really don't care if the diet has made you feel better, I'm going to tell you to go off it....but that with a blood test don't mean you have celiac"

      Skinesa

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.

      She finally has her appointment today. They said in their opinion it’s likely celiac. But repeated the bloodwork today. Her frost bloodwork was weak positive 5.3 (4-10 is a weak positive) Dr wanted her own labs. And they will be calling us to schedule the endoscopy.  They told her to keep Eating gluten. She has been eating is again for the last couple weeks.
