Can A Baby Have Dh?

Can a baby have DH? He is formula fed and the rash is on the face. It is blistery and doesn't look like regular milk rash, excema, fifths, or heat rash. Raised, red, and blistery in some places. Thanks.

My son and nephew both had it as babies and toddlers. Then it went away, but my son's returned at age 19 (which is the average age of appearance for DH). My mother can't remember if I had a rash as a baby, but I developed DH at age 19, too. My son and I get DH on our faces and necks (and one hand and one foot).

Highly unlikely. I'd never say impossible, but very uncommon.

There are no formulas I know of that have gluten in them. (Oh, I could certainly be wrong, but if someone knows of one, please post it, because it's very very not common.)

Are you or dad gluten intolerant, have a gluten free house? Was he ever breast fed?

Your baby could be getting glutened in alternative ways--from being kissed by someone wearing lipstick or who has just eaten gluten, to the shampoo being used, to the moisturizer or other lotions being applied. However, it's also possible that your baby is suffering from a simple case of dermatitis caused by the laundry detergent or other care product. With a case of dermatitis, it can sometimes be attributed to the use of TWO products together that cause the reaction. You might try using ALL new care products and laundry detergent.

All these things said, there are a LOT of things that cause newborn skin problems - and some are totally normal as baby's skin adjusts to a new environment. Frequent bathing (once a day is too much for many babies), lotions, detergent on clothing/bedding, rough textures... lots of things cause skin issues that have nothing to do with food, especially in really young ones (even three or four months old!)

      Being present in same room as gluten pasta cooking

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      To be on the safe side, for those who are super sensitive, I would still recommend turning the fan on the range hood to high when cooking any gluten, including pasta.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Scrubbing with soap and water well should be enough to clean a pan so that it is safe for those with celiac disease. Different celiacs will react to different levels of gluten.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not making any claims about what your issue is regarding you issue with saltiness, I only wanted to dispel the claim that histamines have a salty taste. Most foods, particularly in the USA, are in fact, too salty. The spike in overly salty foods that has occurred in the USA since the 1950's junk food explosion has caused many foods to be overly salty, and has changed our taste buds to not be able to recognize this. If friends or family visit me from Europe or Asia, some of them notice this right away, but as American junk foods have spread worldwide, less people notice this issue, as it is becoming a worldwide issue.

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @KCGirly! From Wikipedia on Semaglutide: "The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation." How much gluten are you consuming daily? Recently revised recommendations are for the daily ingestion of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least 2 weeks prior to celiac disease testing, either via blood antibody tests or endoscopy/biopsy in order to ensure valid test results. Your GI doc's instructions barely fit into that time window. I hope it is sufficient to yield valid biopsy results. About your episode(s) after reintroducing gluten on 12/23 after starting a gluten free diet on 11/29. You stated at the outset of your narrative that historically these episodes occurred about every two weeks and that was before you trialed the gluten free diet. I would point out that you had only been eating gluten free for three weeks before the episode on 12/23. So, I'm not sure you can attribute that episode to the return to gluten consumption.  In addition to celiac disease, there is another gluten-related health issue known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both. Also, can you specify which test or tests for celiac disease were ordered by your GP? There are a number of serum antibody tests that can be run in order to detect celiac disease but many physicians will order the minimum instead of a more extensive panel. What one test misses, another may catch.
