3 Yrs Old Toddler And Husband With Possible Dh?

Hello

I have find out by skin allergy testing two week ago that I was allergic to wheat oats,yeast etc.. so possible Coeliac. I need more inverstigation. So far on gluten free diet and no more pain, bloating, diarrhea, lethargy etc..

Whilst looking on the coeliac website here in australia I learned about DH.

My husband Joe

My husband has Crohn's disease (autoimmunue disorder of the intestines) and psorasis (autoimmunue disorder of the skin)which seems to have clear up since we move to Australia from the UK.

Both conditions are heridetary and can be passed on.

My husband about a year ago started to have those small tiny blisters on the sole of his feet and now are also on his palms and fingers

"He has outbreaks of tiny, horribly-itchy wart/blister type bumps on his hands and sole of feet.He is 36Yrs old

They itch as they are coming "up" quite intensely, and continue to itch while they're "bumps". Then they tend to dry up and peel off leaving little circles of different layers of dry skin "edges" where the bumps had been. Those do not scar, as such, but he has had repeated outbreaks in the same areas which seem to have left his skin a little uneven or callousy in that area for a while.

They do not seem to "spread" from contact, but sometimes He has just one, and sometimes he'll start with one and have a whole series that start and stop at overlapping intervals on different fingers.. often on the sides, near the joint.

He also has a rash on his chest and back the doc said it was warts. Now i think it might be DH aswell but a different form of it.

Hygiene doesn't seem to affect them one way or another"

My 3 yrs old Daughter Elise

She has the same plantar tiny, horribly-itchy wart/blister type bumps on the sole of her feet. She complains that they itch a lot.

She hasn't got any medical condition yet apart from some constipation.

I will try to post some pictures, next time. They are both asleep right now.

Do I need to take them both to a dermatologist or/and start them on a gluten free diet.

The only positive outcome will be that to cook one meal per dinner, will save me a lot of time in the kitchen !! Smile although aur bank account will not think the same thing Crying or Very sad

Could you please respond to this post. Any comments would be really appreciative. Thank you. I really feel for both of them. Confused and wish I could help them.

Bonjour Sarah,

Since your husband has psoriasis, is it possible your husband and daughter have palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP)?

Open Original Shared Link

There is about a 1 in 6 chance that they also have gluten sensitivity - about 17% of people with psoriasis will eventually recover on a gluten-free diet. There have been numerous studies that show this. They could both be tested for antigliadin (AGA) antibodies. With this test positive, they may have gluten intolerance even without having full Celiac Disease or a positive TTg or EMA blood test.

There may be other conditions to examine, too. I have DH and have never had it on the soles of my feet or palms of my hands, but maybe someone else here has. Interestingly, my father has gluten sensitivity and psoriasis.

Best wishes!

April

I also meant to add that there is absolutely no harm in starting them both on a gluten-free diet. Many people with autoimmune tendencies will do better on this type of diet.

Bonne chance!

April

Sounds like dyshidrosis, but since they don't know what causes that I would wouldn't rule gluten out :) .

They both sound like chronic celiac and are having problems because they are not gluten free. Have them tested immediately!!!!

Good luck... God Bless

      I was just thinking this same thing - requesting repeat testing prior to giving up gluten. Makes sense. Thanks!

      Since you're having a last hurrah with gluten, request another round of blood tests for celiac antibodies.  Make sure you're eating ten grams or more daily for those few weeks before your capsule endoscopy.  You probably weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten needed to provoke sufficient antibody production.

      Hello all I am taking some time out from work today to make my annual Christmas cake along the lines of a tried and tested English recipe which means a fruit cake, with marzipan  and icing.   As usual, I've left it too late - we're meant to bake these things some time  in advance to improve the flavour.    I never remember.  But it never seems to matter! I thought I'd share it in case any UK coeliacs still haven't made theirs and don't have a recipe, or any of my friends across the Pond want to try making one.  Do you make iced fruit cakes like this in the US for Christmas? - I have no idea! I adapt it slightly as instead of fondant icing I make Royal Icing which sets hard and you can create exciting snow scenes with it if you can find any tiny model houses, churches and trees to put on it!  (my Mum used to do this).   https://www.coeliac.org.uk/information-and-support/your-gluten-free-hub/home-of-gluten-free-recipes/1511804/ With thanks to the charity Coeliac Uk for this recipe.

      Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that has celiac disease. So, I think this would be an appropriate request to bring to your physician. Here is an article outlining the various serum antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease:   The physician may not be open to ordering a full panel but push for at least these two: total IGA and tTG-IGA. By the way, absence of gut pain is very common in the celiac population. We call them "silent" celiacs as they have no or very minor symptoms. There are over 200 symptoms and spinoff health issues that have become associated with celiac disease and the range of symptoms and effects produced by the disease in different individuals various tremendously.
