Tiny Red Itchy Bumps On Hand Joints And Foot

Recommended Posts

PreGF occasionally I'd get one somewhere on my hands. Almost tiny blisters. If itched enough clear fluid came out then they'd start going away. Well, over the course of today I have one (red spot no blister) on the ball of my foot and ten+ on my hand joints. Also have a sore on the side of my tongue. All since last night when in woke up with my tongue hurting. Feel pretty normal otherwise minus some sinus issues I've had for a week. Only a month gluten-free so I'm wondering if it's celiac related. My face broke out like crazy about two weeks ago. So strange. Any ideas or suggestions of what to do for them? So annoyingly itchy/sore.

Have you had your vitamin levels tested?  Sometimes when certain vitamins are too low or high they can cause these symptoms.  Either way, when something is very different, a visit to the doctor is in order.  If you are on any new medications, check to see if that is a known side effect of one, as well.

I haven't had them tested recently because my insurance wouldn't cover it. In past yrs I've been vit D and B def. I'm taking a womens multi and a sublingual B. Nothing crazy. I can't afford another dr appt right now. I've googled and see a connection with my bumps and gluten. Trying to figure out what I'm doing "wrong".

While I've never had what you are describing my food allergies give me all kinds of skin issues. I would say that you may be getting gluten somewhere that you are missing or that you may be intolerant or allergic to more than gluten which is very common. Are you keeping a food diary? Going gluten free isn't easy and it takes a long time to learn what all has gluten in it (which at times can seem like everything!)

I had sores in my mouth before I was DX'd. It's been over a year I don't remember the date since Gluten Free , it may be two years now. But I am no longer getting sores. I used to break out in hives on a daily baises. I don't have to take two zyrtec a day anymore. It takes a long time for your body to repair it's self from the damage. I think you have to give your body time to heal. It takes more than a couple of months.

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Ooh thanks for all the info I'll check them out, though I may not be functional after 6 slices for 6 weeks 😅

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
