Hiya
is there anyone on here that suffers from this?
I came up with a rash on my inner arms and wrist about 7 weeks ago and went to see my GP who prescriped an antibiotic cream, it cleared up but came back twice as bad and more itchy.
I went back an saw another GP and as soon as he looked at it said it looked very much like Dermatitis Herpetiformis, so he took blood for it to be tested for Celiac disease.
I rang up for the results on Friday and they were negative, but i have read that you can get a negative result and still have a problem with gluten.
I have an appt to see my GP on Tuesday but would like to know if there is anyone that suffers with DH that has had a negative blood test for Celiac disease?
I am almost 55 and find it odd that this rash should come up now, although when i was a child i always had really bad stomach pains where i would roll around the floor in agony. My mother was forever taking me to the doctors but they never got to the bottom of it, in fact come the end i think my mother and doctor thought i was making in up:blush:
Thanks in advance
