Little Bumps

Hi all,

I've had small bumps on the back of my thighs and rear end most of my life. They are not noticable unless you really look close, don't itch, aren't red, don't pop, don't seem to cause any sort of problem, just little tiny flesh colored bumps. The other day I noticed that they are mostly gone (don't ask me why I was feeling that area, you don't want to know. :o ).

They've never gone away before and so I'm wondering if it has anything to do with going gluten free. I've been gluten free for a little under a year.

Anyone else have something like this?

Thanks!

S

Yes. Check the next time you get glutened they come right back.

Thanks! It's good to know that I am not alone. Interesting that I've always had these, but only food out about the gluten problem a year ago.

My son and I have had the bumps our entire lives. Mine seem to be disappearing after 2 weeks gluten-free but now for the first time ever they are itching. Could this mean I'm getting glutened? How quickly would the bumps return after being glutened?

Not sure, but I have had these on my butt, legs, knees and arms for years. I will have to see if they start to go away now that I am gluten-free.

They do itch occasionally...hmmmmm....now you really have me thinking! ;)

Yep, I had the same thing on my arms, back, lately even my face - they all have more or less disapeared with gluten-free diet. They pop up again on my body within a week of eating something bad.

I get them too when I have been gluten. I was told it has a name, but I can't remember it ....

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.
