Dh And Stress?

Hello! Just wondering if anyone has encountered DH breakouts caused by stress? I've been strictly gluten-free for almost 5 years. After starting the diet, my horrible DH went away. I would get a mild breakout every once in a great while from being glutened. However, I have experienced moderate breakouts on both of my shoulders for the past couple of months. What started as two little patches is starting to slowly trail down my arms. I'm just fearful that it's going to get worse. I've been careful on the diet, however, I've been under tremendous stress for several months (2 deaths in the family + my Dad being in the hospital - he was FINALLY diagnosed w/ Celiac).

Has anyone had a similar experience w/ DH and stress? I hope I'm not the only special one out there ;)

Thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

Before I was diagnosed with DH I felt like it would get worse when I was stressed. Now I only seem to have breakouts when I get glutened by accident. That' hasn't happened very much, so I'm not sure if stress on top of the glutening would make a difference. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm pretty sure it got worse the more stressed I got before going gluten-free. GL - it sure is a pain to deal with! I hope you fgure out what's causing your outbreaks!

Hi,

My DH started last year. I was on a light air craft that hit a storm and just fell out of the sky. WE all thought we were dead! The day after my rash started, spots on both legs and blisters on my toes. I think it definately was a stress reaction.

Yes, and remember that stress does funny things to ones' body. During finals, I always have a bit of DH outbreak that goes away when I turn in the last paper.

Also, heat can make it worse - sweat getting into the creases on your knees & elbows, etc.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      There is dextrose in table salt?

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.
