I have been gluten free for about five years now. About two weeks ago, I got an itchy bump on my neck. The next day or so later

there were more in the same area. Now I have them grouped near my knee, back of the thigh, near my left hip/buttocks, and last night

i started breaking out on my forearm. This is so frustrating!! It's confusing because one girl I live with broke out a few days before

I did, but her doctor says it's psoraiasis rosaisia? Just last week I'm pretty sure I was glutened. I got fog brain after eating gluten-free

french toast (supposesedly gluten-free). It was the worst fog brain I'd ever had. I was super dizzy, I felt high, couldn't think. The only new

foods I had with that meal were cinnamon, alcohol free vanilla, and Brie cheese. I called the company for the brie and they confirmed

it gluten free, even stating their vinegar was derived from corn (although there was no vinegar in this cheese). Anyway..I'm just really

annoyed and I'd like some help. I thought I'd come here first, then go to a doctor just because of the lack of money right now.

Is it possible to develop DH years later? I never had a problem before..Also, does is show up when you're glutened? If so, how long does it

take to go away. Oh..also, I got some new body wash by Alba. I use their shampoo and conditioner, their body wash didnt seem to have gluten..

Maybe I should contact them to be safe. Is DH usually a reaction caused by internal or external glutening? IE gluten contact on the skin, or

ingesting it?

edit: I checked the Alba website, and they won't confirm gluten free because their veggie sources come from variable sources. I think every time I take a shower, I break out with a new rash..not positive.

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      By MHavoc · Posted

      As with most of the people that come here, I have questions and need perspective/info from this wonderful community.  Some background, started having severe constipation that would not abate even with softners (not really fun to talk about), so I was able to finally get in to see my primary and she scheduled some blood work.  One of things she wanted to test for is Celiac Disease due to my sister having celiac disease since a young child. Here are my test results: MCHC = 31.4 so considered slightly low TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA = 78.8 H So with that result, I was scheduled for an endoscope for confirmation of celiac disease, but I am very confused with the results: Diagnosis 1. Duodenum, biopsy: -No pathologic alteration. 2. Stomach, biopsy: -Mild chronic inflammation with reactive epithelial change -H. pylori not identified on immunostained section. -No intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia I am now scheduled to meet with a GI Specialist from the Celiac team, but that won't be until after the New Year.  I would appreciate thoughts about the biopsy report to understand whether it confirms the celiac disease as was indicated by the blood test results. I have been gluten free for two weeks and it is a very difficult adjustment for me as an older 50+ person.

      Anyone else have intermittent left ear ringing and outer right ear pain? Both seem to happen in the evenings.

      If your son eventually becomes very symptomatic, that in itself will help keep him on the diet.  I had a friend who was diagnosed roughly the same time as me and she used to tell me a lot that she could get away with eating certain gluten containing foods.  (Not a good thing to do, but she did all the same).  In time she was unable to tolerate them anymore,  and is now very strict with her diet.   The football situation with the candy:   here in the UK at least, a lot of mainstream chocolate bars and sweets don't actually contain gluten (Bounty Bar, Snickers, Cadbury's Whirl, Crunchie etc) and you may find that that is the case where you live.
