HI

Just joined 2 days ago and have been looking at the subjects and posts. This is the first time I've sent a post so forgive any mistakes---

I was dx'd with celiac disease 11 weeks ago and have been 100% gluten free to the best of my knowlege...Loosing weight like crazy and I've been fighting this battle for years so I'm very encouraged however; July 31 dx'd with UTI and put on Cipro ( have alot of drug allergies) for 10 days. Didn't seem to go totally away so went on doxy for 3 days and then ended up in ER with hives and trouble breathing. Was it the cipro or doxy WHO KNOWS. ER Doc. gave me some antihistimine and predizone which makes me a crazy lady...can't sleep. Now it seems I itch all the time....question...still gluten free...can antibiotics screw up the diet. The cipro was on the 'gluten free drug list' Any help will be totally appreciated.

Has anyone had itching with celiac disease even with compliance" Don't have the symptoms that the dermatology term they use here in the topics...just the itching...Now I'll have to figure out how I can read the answers you all might give me! Thanks for you time.

My most recognizeable symptom of gluten is itching (no rash) and cold chills. Claire

I have a lot of itching, I had to change my soap to Dove and my shampoo to Garnier Fructis. I used to use Nexxus but it has wheat in it. My back still itches, don't know why (no rash). It could be your soap or skin lotions. I was on Doxy for 10 days, couldn't find out if it was gluten-free but the skin started to peel on my fingers, a sure sign that I got some Gluten! Hope this helps...

I personally would blame the cipro. I hate that drug. Too many I know have reacted bad from it. From what I understand it is way too strong for most and shouldnt be given so easily.

I wound up in hosp from it for days, it wiped out all the good bacteria in me.

My boss almost was given a trach from it-- breathing problems.

my daughters boyfriends grand dad died after taking it and it wiped out all his good bacteria, he was unable to fight it.

OOOOOO-I also would be likely to blame the Cipro. I took it once and had a terrible allergic reaction--terrible hives and itching, and had to go to the emergency room as well, steriods etc. Cipro causes allergic reactions in a lot of people. Be careful to not take any sulfa drugs either--I had an idiot doctor give me some and I reacted...they are related to Cipro and if you have probs with it, you will have issues with sulfa drugs. Also--watch out for Celebrex--also sulfa related. Hope the itching goes away soon!

WOW, thanks for all the info on Cipro. The dr's want me on doxy now for two weeks. the Watson manufacture I called said it was gluten-free but I don't trust any of it now.

I am learning so much from all you!

I think I might have to disagree here. (Hate going against the tides. :( ) But Cipro does not have sulfa in it and it is not related to sulfa drugs other than it's an antibiotic. Most doctors give this to patients that have an allergy to sulfa drugs, because it IS that safe. And it is gluten-free. Is there a possibility that you took the generic version that might not be gluten-free? I ask because at one time, my pharmacy gave me generic even if I didn't ask for it because I got a larger discount with my insurance. They're just trying to save me money, but I had to inform them of my gluten-intolerance. Now they help me by checking with the manufacturer for me before I even pick up the script.

gluten-free but the skin started to peel on my fingers, a sure sign that I got some Gluten!

This is one of my first signals as well. Strange peeling too. Little circles of skin peeling off like I had blisters there. But I never have the blisters or any itchiness at all. Just peeling skin. Strange.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
