Tiny Red Itchy Bumps On Hand Joints And Foot

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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
