Ok, I don't know if I have dermatitis herpetiformis because I don't think I have gotten a good description of it. Here is what I have, I only seem to get them on my head and some times by bottom. I only get a few at a time and they start off just very painful spots. You can't see them, sometimes they get red but then they get so painful I pop them and they just get a little p%$#@# and then they bleed. I also get little white bumps on my lets and back of my arms, anyone else get them? Anyone else know about the other bumps I have? Thanks

I am new here and also newly diagnosed. I was diagnosed at Thanksgiving. I have started having these also. I get one or two on my face everyweek, and yesterday I had a breakout of several on my neck and around my collar bone. They don't itch, but they do look like boils or papuls. Like you nothing seems to come out but some fluid. They do get very sore sometimes.

i think that dermatitis herpetiformis is extremely itchy. i think it can show up in a number of places, but the most common are elbows, knees and the bum. it is usually symetrical on both sides of your body, but i'm sure there are exceptions.

It usually also leaves a purplish scar as it heals.

Are they small spots or larger? Or both. I would get small clusters (3 to 5) of small blister. sometime just one, but they itch really bad. They eventually turn red and go away. Now that I am gluten free I dont get them to often, usually after my digestive tract tells me I have been glutened.

I have also had the really sore spots, I figured they were boils....but I dont really know what causes them.

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

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.

      Celiac pain relief

      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.

      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.
