I have no idea why this picture is coming through so big!! I tried several ways and times to make it smaller but I couldn't so I apologize, LOL!!

The good news is, she has an appt with the dermatologist on Tues. I'm afraid it won't result in anything yet again. We've been to the pediatrician, the allergist, the rheumotologist, the GI and no one seems to know anything. All her blood work is normal (except for low on Vit D). Even all of the JRA blood work was normal. The Arthritis was finally discovered through an MRI. She doesn't have the swelling, redness, or fever that I guess most JRA patients have?

If one more person tells me they don't know what's wrong with my daughter I am going to scream. It's not "normal" to have an intensely itchy, bumpy rash on your face along with ALL her other issues--the arthritis, the stomach, etc!

Thanks for the vent.

Megan, my daughter, has had bumps on her face (usually her cheeks) on her upper arms and thighs. My doctor had never been worried, but now I am drawing even more connections. Thanks for posting. Hope you get some answers soon!

If the derm does a biopsy ensure it is done properly.

Looks EXACTLY like my DH rash when I get glutened.

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
