  1. No no symptoms right now. In the past he had rashes. Right now besides acne, he doesn't have any skin or gastro symptoms (that he vocalizes anyways). I did get a gastro appointment next Wednesday. I am hoping to convince them to let him go gluten free and just do a follow up blood test...if the number goes down then diagnose him. I really don't want...
  2. My son is being referred again to a Pediatric Gastro. We have been to one probably 3 years ago, and he had a scope with biopsies and it was negative. My son's symptoms at the time were all skin related. Well, his blood test numbers are back to positive again. We had some tests that were negative. So he is being referred again. I am not sure I want...
  3. Is the link to the website for the dining cards correct? I do not see that information at the website listed above.
  4. I am waiting we just got the results from my son's blood test for my doctors office to get back with us. Do you think this looks like its positive for possibly celiac? He has no symptoms but we recheck every 2 years on my gastros recommendation because I have it. Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA, S 0.5 U/mL Range: 0.0 - 6.9 U/mL Tissue...
  5. No he hasn't been gluten free because I thought that they said he didn't have celiac. I am really not sure what to do.
  6. My son had two High Anti-Gliadin IgA results in a row, 22 and 23 (out of a scale of 10) so they sent him for a biopsy this was about 2 years ago. I remembered the doctor telling us the biopsy was negative. Now however I received electronic access to his records and this is what is written on the biopsy report. His gastroentronologist left within a month...
  7. well I saw my allergist. He did test me again for the 9 major allergens which came back negative. He suggested I take Allegra 24 Hours, as it has 180mg of antihistamine Daily, because my IgE is very high which indicates an allergy of some kind. He suggested I could take allegra everyday continuoulsy, which I am not fond of!! However, my rash now...
  8. I was diagnosed some time ago with DH. A few years ago though, I started getting this other rash in the same area I got DH. I saw a dermatologist, and they would give me a cream or this or that and it would make it better but it would never go away. Finally a year ago I saw a Dietician and it got better and we could get it to go away for some time, and...
  9. My situation was similar, my rash started on my fingers, then eventually spread to my elbows, and chest/neck area! I will say after 3 months of strict gluten free my rash really did not subside much, it calmed down but hadn't really gone away. I eventually when on Dapsone for a stint to get it to clear then went off Dapsone. Still struggled...
  10. All I can recommend is to not go it alone on this. I spent 2 years trying to figure out my sensitivities and avoiding foods and products to try and calm down my reactions. After 2 years...I finally got fed up and saw a dietitian. After eliminating multiple things with the dietitian...I am now able to eat all kinds of things I had avoided, and my extreme...
  11. Hello! It took me about 3 days to really start to feel a difference. After about 2 weeks it was great!! I will say though, I didn't seem to be able to completely heal and stop the DH entirely until I quit dapsone and cut iodine. It was like it just slightly lingered....I also didn't feel great too after a couple of months of dapsone even though...
  12. Is anyone super sensitive to cross contamination and iodine? About two weeks ago I believe I had some cross contamination....product made on same equipment as wheat, or when I sat down at a break table with crumbs with my computer....and I had a small not bad breakout. Then last week for the first time in 1.5 years I decided to eat salmon,...
  13. I had DH not while pregnant but I had to cut out dairy, eggs, fish and salt. Took Dapsone and was still struggling. Then eventually cut all packaged gluten free foods...it then took 2 months for the DH to go away, only about 4 weeks for it to stop spreading though! Probably not what you want to hear but being really strict with diet is the only...
  14. Yes mine in areas like my chest were dark pink and stayed that way for almost a month before they would fade. Some areas were more purplish though like my elbows.
