I was actually diagnosed with DH before coeliac disease and was asked to attend hospital as a teaching aid for GP's as it is a reasonably rare condition.

Out of the 40 GP's who examined me only one gave a correct diagnosis.

I'm not sure what to think about that?

I was diagnosed through eczema/skin rash too (well, my pushiness at trying to find a cause rather than GPs)! My consultant (who was involved with writing the NICE guidelines) was surprised by this, so I share your nervousness!

Lactose intollerence as a baby up till the age of 3 then diagnosed with diabetes at 17 and then CD at 34! I am generally pretty healthy though thankfully!

Although the diabetes has affected my eyes so I have diabetic retinopathy and more recently it has affected my hands and I have trigger finger in both my thumbs which is incredibly painful!!!!

I was lactose intolerant when first diagnosed with CD in 1995, but since then in 2007 started having nocturnal epilepsy which medication - now on 4th one - has not totally stopped.

I have thyroid disease, severe hypokalemia, asthma, ezcema, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, hypertension, GERD, and IBS. I have multiple environmental, food and drug allergies. I had PMS, fibroid tumours and endometriosis until they did an emergency hysterectomy and put me on HRT. I'm the canary in the coal mine.

Severe eczema which all but cleared when I went Gluten Free - but remained quite severely on my hands - again, this all but cleared up when I switched my dogs to a Gluten Free Diet.

Have now started getting DH attacks if I get caught out with my diet, itis excrutiatingly painful and very difficult to clear :(

My daaughter has astma and eczema and was diagnosed with cd at 3 -4 years old (I was quite pushy)

I am hoping that diagnosing her and teaching her from such a young age will prevent some of the complications that can occur, fingers crossed x
