About Me
Hi,
I have Celiac Disease and Hepatitis C. So far the Hepatitis has not progressed past stage one...knock on wood. The Celiac Disease was not diagnosed until I was put on Inferreron / Rivoviron treatment for the Hepatitis which I had to be taken off of due to the celiac which became full blown.
Up until then the main symptoms I had was Dermatitis Herpetiformis and migraine like headaches in my 30's which got more frequent and lasted longer as I got older; and I always had a bloated stomach until I was put on a celiac diet.
Now I have a new skin problem which is also related to the immune system called granuloma annulare. The dermatologists don't have a cure only steroid cream which can thin your skin. Not a good thing on aging skin!!
I wonder how these symptoms all connect???????

Hi Everyone, I am a new member; I was diagnosed with celiac about 15 years ago. I have Granuloma Annulare mainly on my thighs, calves, and feet. I had a biopsy done at Oregon Health Sciences recently, but have had this condition for about 2 years and it seems to be slowly spreading. I also have Hepatitis C, when the doctors tried to treat me with Ribavirin...
