Odd Skin Symptom Gluten Related?

I have a definite gluten sensitivity, and an odd skin symptom that I've never heard of anyone else having. I wonder if it's related. My skin, in different places over my body and at different times, feels overly sensitive, if that makes any sense. It feels generally irritated and achy if anything touches it, including clothes. I used to only feel this way when I had a fever. Has anyone heard of this as a gluten related symptom or as any kind of symptom?

I have the same kind of symptoms. According to my rhuematologist it's due to my having fibromyalgia. To put it simply, the nerves are on hyperdrive.

I've had that same skin sensitivity thing since I was in college, which was umpty-ump years ago. It's only recently that I've suspected gluten was the cause. Gluten is almost certainly behind my neuropathy, so why not skin nerve cell damage as well? Makes perfect sense.

BTW, I haven't had one instance of skin sensitivity since going gluten free back in October. :D

I get this too from time to time, but usually only during PMS. It's interesting that you mention this -- I have been gluten free for 10 days now and I'm PMSing right now and my skin is not currently aching like that. Hmmmm.

Interesting! I get that when I have fevers too, but my daughter always complains about clothes being uncofortable and every bump and stitch irritates her. I wonder...

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
