Annoying Rash That Won't Go Away

I don't know what kind of rash I have but it will not go away. What do you do to help with rashes. I've been told oatmeal but that makes it worse. I use cream but that hasn't helped.

Try and figure out what is giving you the rash. Does it wax and wane or is it constant? Do some foods seem to make it worse? Look for correlations. Sometimes keeping a diary helps. Have you tried OT cortisone creams? Things like calamine?

Hi,

  I'm new to Celiac, only 13 months since diagnosed, but I had a rash in the shape of a ring on my leg that just wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. Went to Doc, she prescribed Triamcinolone Acedtonide Ointment USP 0.1% (Walmart $4) to be applied twice/day. It's like hydrocordozone only stronger. Twice a day for a month didn't do it, so I put in on 4x/day & it's almost gone.  Definitely works; I would go see your Dr. Hope this helps

Seems like I read that Lyme disease makes a ring like rash.  Did they test you for that?

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      What is the best gluten free scanner app? I have the "gluten-free Scanner" app. I scanned an almond joy and it says it contains gluten when the package is labeled gluten free

      Certainly, it would b wise to have a gene test done if your physician is open to it as it would provide some more data to understand what's going on. But keep in mind that the genetic test for celiac disease cannot be used as to diagnose celiac disease, only to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population possess one or both of the primary genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develop active celiac disease. So, the gene test is an effective "rule out" tool but not an effective diagnostic tool.

      Had Quaker gluten-free oatmeal last night and my stomach is a mess today. NO flu but def stomach stuff. Anyone else?

      So you would be good with the diagnosis and not worry to check genetics etc etc? Appreciate your words!
