First Time For Rash...

Hello all -

 

I haven't been on here much but I broke out in a bad, itchy, painful rash 2 nights ago. I have had every symptom of Celiac but DH. I always thought I was so lucky to not have DH.

 

My rash is on my sides and stomach area....at first I thought it was shingles. I went to the doctor and he said it looks like an allergic reaction. I did cheat on my gluten-free diet a few weeks ago (got really sick from it at that point) and now this weird rash.

 

Has anyone else developed DH or a rash after being gluten-free for a while and never had a rash before??

 

Thanks for any help :)

I wish I had time to go through this forum & give you a thread link for every celiac who only had gut issues UNTIL...... one day they either cheated on the diet or got glutened & then bingo! Rash! And they had never, ever had the rash before.

Many ppl with the rash find that limiting their iodine intake for a week or two helps the rash to ramp down. Here's a link for low iodine diet --- of course -- leave out the gluten:

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
