Hello, first time poster.

Well i have not had any testing done, but....

I have had a rash on the tops of my quads and under my armpits/down my side for 6yrs now, has its good and bad times. recently i went on a high fat high protien no carb diet, as a result the rsh completley disapeared. i went off diet and rash came back, i was eating lots of bread and cereals and anything. Went back to high fat and protein and no carb one week ago and the rash has almost gone..

The rash is red itches like anything and at times has been wet, if scratched alot.

any help would be appreciated.

oh also my bowel movements are not great when eating the breads and carbs...too much info i know

You might want to get the area next to the rash biopsied if you want to confirm that it is DH. There are other skin conditions that are also caused by a reaction to gluten but if you have a diagnosis of DH you have a diagnosis of celiac. Here is a link to the NIH's site about DH and it's diagnosis.

You could also while you are still on a full gluten diet ask for a celiac panel. Although there are false negatives with that.

You also have the choice of simply doing the gluten free lifestyle if having a firm medically official diagnois is not needed for you to remain complaint.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
