Dh Rash?

I suspect i have celiac (waiting blood test results) partly because of the rash i get along with stomach trouble.

What i wanted to know is, i get a rash a few times a year (usually symmetrical) but it is usually on the front of my thighs.

It starts off a few little red bumps and although i limit my scratching, it gradually grows to about 3/4 inches in diameter. Also it tends to form a circle with the bumps being on the perimeter of the rash - the rest (the middle) is just red/purply in colour. The 'circle' gets bigger over a few days until it eventually fades away after a few weeks to return a few months later.

Can anyone relate to this?

HI, Well, this is interesting. I get something similar, but docs are not sure what it is. It get the rash on my inner thighs, both of them at the same time. They are red bummpy and itch and expand in diameter too. Usually, each time a different script is given to me. I don't know what it is either. But I have started to read more about dh on this board to see more information about it.

      I was born with celiac disease im 20 years old. And I've been gluten free my whole life. Yes my diet is 100 percent gluten free and no i don't eat at restaurants at all. I got glutened by a chips that was marked as gluten free but it wasn't the company said the packaging was old and the recipe was new.

      My son newly diagnosed

      Welcome to the forum, the biggest source of cross-contamination would be eating our in restaurants--even ones that have a gluten-free menu. If your son was just recently diagnosed I'd recommend trying not to eat out during his healing period, which could last up to a year or more, depending on how much villi damage he had.

      How long ago were you diagnosed with celiac disease? How long have you been gluten-free? Is your diet strict, and are you 100% gluten-free? Do you eat out in restaurants?

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      Key word, "gluten-like".  By the way, have you looked up Dr. Osborne's credentials and his background? He is a licensed nutritionist but his scientific? medical? clinical background is that of a chiropractor. He is not taken seriously by many experts in the medical and scientific community. If it is helpful to you to see these other cereal grain proteins as "gluten", I'm fine with that. The problem is, when you begin to promote that line of thinking to others, people get confused about what grains they actually need to avoid. About 10% of celiacs react to oat protein (avenin) like they do gluten (the protein in wheat/barley/rye). That is not news. But the vast majority of celiacs have no issue with these other cereal grains. If we start throwing around the term "gluten" to loosely embrace the proteins found in all cereal grains it's going to be very confusing to those just getting started who only need to avoid wheat/barley/rye. And it will also create a great deal of confusion in the restaurant industry trying to cater to that element of their customer base needing to eat gluten free.
