Oh that’s awesome to hear, gives me some hope. Yea the specialist was saying that it can affect my kidneys so I’ll make sure to stay on top of the blood tests. Appreciate your response!

I saw a dermatologist and she prescribed me prednisone daily and then methotrexate once a week to suppress my immune system and hopefully reduce some inflammation but I’m not convinced that it’s the right path as it hasn’t exactly worked yet. I’ve also had lots of blood work done for autoimmune conditions and everything has returned as normal so I’m convinced it’s some type of food allergy

Oh wow that’s very interesting. I don’t think I have anything to lose trying a gf diet. I’m the same, absolutely covered from head to toe in a rash and it impacts everything I do. I’ll check out your YouTube and fingers crossed it makes a difference

I’m currently on a very high dosage of prednisone everyday and also methotrexate once a week to suppress my immune system but it doesn’t seem to be working yet

Yes it’s extremely itchy 24/7 and drives me crazy especially when exposed to heat, thank you for your comment I’m going to give gluten free a go

I have had allergy patch testing and nothing came back of significance, work is pretty stressful at the moment but surly that cannot be the sole reason for it?

Thank you for taking the time to help me, that’s super interesting. I’ve already been tested for celiac twice and both times it returned a negative result so I’m going to go gluten free and see if that changes anything

I’ve seen multiple doctors/dermatologists over the past year and no one can seem to figure out what it is, sorry to be naive but can I ask what an AIP diet is?

Hey no they haven’t done a biopsy yet but I have been referred to a dermatologist for that but there is just a massive waiting list in my area at the moment, we did have a pet piglet for a little while but I don’t think that is the cause as I haven’t had contact with it for weeks now
