Strange Place For A Rash?

I have a question and I hope someone else can help.

I have been reading all of the post but don't seem to have found any that are similiar to mine.

I have been diagnosed with DH, my passed away last year and in researching DH, found out about celiacs and was tested for both.

The problem is I get an uncontrollable itchy rash around my belly button, has anyone else experienced this?

I don't know if its the DH or nerves or what.

Thanks

I don't believe there is any "usual" place for DH to occur. This site has articles on it though, so hopefully you can see how the description compares with your symptoms. Click the site index link on the left hand side of the page and follow the links from there.

I hope you get the answers you need.

It's maddening isn't it? Mine used to blister and peel. One thought, before diagnosis I was very sensitive to the nickel in many jeans buttons and snaps. I also would get rashes from watches and rings etc. If this sounds like you one remedy for me with the jeans issue was high waisted undergarments or a small fabic patch over the metal on the inside of pants.

So in other words, if you have DH or Celiacs, this can come out when you wear jewelry also, like gold?

Thats a great idea, maybe that is where the rash is coming from.

I also get itchy blisters around my fingers where I wear rings.

Thanks for the reply

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.
    • Scott Adams
      Yes, this sounds right. Let us know when you find out your results.

      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.
