Do I Have Celiac Disease? (Please See Picture)

Hi, I greatly appreciate your time.  I've been having weird rashes for the last few months from time to time.  The last couple days all of a sudden I developed this rash on my left arm only (very little on my right arm).  It's very itchy and it's small bumps that are elevated.  It feels like what I remember poison ivy feeling like when I was a kid.  A couple of months ago I had a nasty rash on my stomach and chest and patches on my legs.  My doctor said it was poison oak and sent me to dermotologist who said the same thing.  It took a long time to get rid of and I was on strong anitbiotics and steroids.  Anyway here is a picture of my latest rash.  I have been putthing Sarna on it for the last few days which is soothing but doesn't seem to be improving the condition.  It has not gotten better or worse in the last couple days.  Like I said it is quite itchy but I haven't broken the skin (yet).  Here is a picture I just took of it.  Reading on the internet I came to the info about Coeliac disease and reaction to gluten and this sounds a lot like what I'm experiencing.  I did eat a lot of pizza around the night before this broke out! 

 

Thanks again for taking a look for me!

James

I posted one but can't remember how I did it.  LOL   Most upload photos to a photo site like photo bucket.  DH presents symmetrically, ie  both arms, both sides of back, both knees, etc.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
