Totally kidding. Today? Today, by popular demand, we’re going to talk about DH. What exactly is dermatitis herpetiformis? Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) is a severe, itchy, blistering skin manifestation of celiac disease that is genetically determined and is not contagious. The name, dermatitis herpetiformis, is a descriptive name and is not related to either dermatitis or herpes, but is a specific chronic skin condition. The rash may occur in the form of small lumps, like insect bites and in some cases form fluid filled blisters. These small blisters are called vesicles. However the rash may appear hive- like, persisting in one area. DH can flare and subside even without treatment. The rash usually occurs on the elbows, knees, and buttocks. When the rash subsides, which it often does spontaneously, it may leave brown pigmentation or pale areas, where pigmention is lost. Kinda one of those things that since I don’t have it, I wouldn’t know what to say about it. ![]() But I got a request from a fellow celiac to please talk about it so we can give those suffering from DH some Gluten Dude love. And being that her email was so dang cute and pursuasive. I was hoping I could ask a bit of a favor. I got kind of excited because Duhrings/Dermatitis Herpetiformis is so often forgotten in the Celiac conversation, or at best is usually just an afterthought . As a kid, my mom get special soaps, creams, fancy bath stuff, plain cotton clothing. I eventually figured out some kind of wheat connection after the awful linguini incident of ought twelve. I sorta ran with that as it was all the information I had to go off of. I had a coworker a couple years back who had some stomach thing, that.
![]() ![]() It wasn’t until my sister started talking about Celiac that I started to figure this out a bit. When my rashes stopped, and I kept researching, I finally found a mention of DH and nearly started crying. I finally found something that described what I had. It. The amazing year that I finally figured out my DH and immensely improved my quality of life by changing my eating habits. I feel amazing, and I want to shout it from the rooftops. You’ve mentioned it in the past and, along with all the work you do, I love you for it. Maybe a tinge more though? I find that most times it isn’t even mentioned by name, just as ? Happy to get the word out and show some lovin’ for those suffering from DH. My heart goes out to you. How many of you folks out there suffer from DH? Inquiring mind (mine) wants to know.#No. Cure. No. Choice. The Amazing Adventures of Dietgirl. This is a long post but I promise I’ll make it worth your while. Short version: I’m not stopping, just relocating! Plus, there’s awesome prizes to be won. I was lonely, scared and convinced I was possibly the very largest person in Australia. I already had a blog, but thought everyone would disappear if I revealed the true shambles of my life. Who’d want to read about that? I invented Dietgirl to hide behind; an alter ego far stronger and capable than I felt. I wouldn’t need her very long – for I had a spreadsheet! I calculated I could zap 8. That the spreadsheet still isn’t “finished?”. Sorry 2. 00. 1 buddy; it all got a bit messy. But messy in the good way! You took half a decade to lose the lard, then after a few years you found a big chunk of it again. Then there were unexpected adventures! I’m working on it, hehe). Incredible strangers who reached out over the interwaves just to say, “Dude, you’re not alone”. It was bloody awesome. So after twelve years, today I’m hanging up the cape and will be continuing my adventures on my original blog at Shauna. Reid. com. I feel so giddy to be downsizing to one home for my web wafflings, whether that’s travels, lard busting updates, cake, perving on sportsmen or general happenings. No more compartmentalising or hiding behind not- at- all- secret identities. I’ve wanted to simplify things for about three years now but it’s taken me this long to get organised! I wasn’t kidding yesterday about the procrastination problem. I’ll also be writing more often on the Up & Running blog, with my amateur bumblings providing nice contrast to Coach Julia’s Ironman heroics. We’ll be exploring the mind and body connection stuff even more this year, as running and fitness is about so much more than sweating! We’re also cooking up some exciting new stuff for 2. I wish had existed back in 2. So, from now on you’ll find me at Shauna. Reid. com – complete with a whizz bang foxy new design! Righto. Today feels like the biggest celebration of all, I’m Selling Out once more! It all starts tomorrow at the new digs. So be sure to subscribe or stalk on Twitter or Facebook. And the prizes are ace, I must say! UPDATE: The Sell Out has begun! Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone who’s stopped by over the past twelve years. It’s been an unforgettable adventure and I’m excited to dive in to the next phase.
