Do you get dh from eating gluten, or will just touching it and touching your face bring it on?

I don't have DH, but will attempt an answer.

Yes, you can get a DH break outbreak from ingesting gluten. A gluten "allergy" can trigger some topical reactions. Touching something with gluten and putting your fingers in your mouth could trigger a DH outbreak.

Some people do have Celiac Disease as well as a gluten allergy.

Hope this helps.

I wanted to ask....How was Dr. Phil & Staff to work with?

They are awesome. I only saw dr phil on stage, but his producers are wonderful. Can't say enough great things about them!

My son keeps breaking out with what looks like a dh rash, but I cant figure out what is causing it. He is 8 weeks old.

Babies can have pores blocked or sweat glands..it's normal. But discuss this with your doctor at your routine check up..... make a list.

Are you nursing him or is he on formula??

Did you check all the items you use on his skin??

Is his dad gluten free??

I'm the only gluten-free-er in tge house. My other 2 kids are always hugging on him and kissing him after they eat. It drives me crazy. We even gave a rule we don't touch him in the face. (no one seems to follow). He is exclusivly breastfed.

Are you taking any vitamins that are high in iodine ??

I would wonder if he may have an issue with gluten and is getting exposure from the kisses and hugs.

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

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
