Little Hard Blisters

Does anyone know what these little hard blister like things are on a persons feet ? They are on bottom and next to my big toe. I also haven't had a migrain(wrong spelling) or a cold sore on my face since being gluten free. I assume being gluten free is also helping this? I have been gluten free since Aug, 2006 :huh:

Thanks

Rebecca

Could it be plantar warts? Though gluten-free likely would have no affect on it.

They could just be callouses from your shoes - the way to check is to run your fingernail firmly (but not hard) across the bump. If it hurts and squishes, they are blisters. If it hurts and is hard, they are probably warts. If it doesn't hurt or squish, they are likely just callouses. If they are callouses, they are perfectly harmless, but if they bother you, you can sand them with an emery board when you get out of the shower and they will thin down. If they are warts, my best suggestion is to cut a hole in a potato roughly where the wart is in your foot and bury the potato in your garden - just as effective as nitrogen freezing, laser treatment or chemical burning the warts, and nowhere near as painful.

Why exactly would that work?

:lol::lol::lol: Actually this might work if you were very patient. Warts are caused by a virus and eventually the virus will leave your system. Thus if you bury the potato and wait long enough they will go away. If this wart is on the ball of your foot it could be plantars wart. Plantar warts grow in not out which is what makes them so painful. They do not appear on the toes though. You can tell a plantar wart by the fact that it is not raised and shows on the bottom of the foot as a whitish spot that is very sensitive to pressure. There are orthonics that can be attached to the bottom of your shoes that will take pressure off the wart and allow it to disapate. If the area on your foot is a lump near the toes it could also be a neuroma, don't let the name scare you it's not cancer but it is a growth on a nerve. Your best bet is to see a podiatrist for a firm diagnosis of what is going on.

      Celiac Disease Dietician

      By Denise I · Posted

      I am trying to find a Celiac Dietician who works with the Celiac Disease Foundation.  They don't have to be located in my area because I can do video visits. Can anyone help with this?

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks
