Hello, my name is Joana, sorry my English is not the best
5 months ago I'm having problems in genitas organs.
Initially began to feel a burning sensation in the genitals after putting several medications for fungi the situation has improved, but it starts to get  worse
In second phase I went to genecologista he sent me  to the dermatologist because I was diagnosed dermatitis medicated me with curtisona and Protopic past two months mucous have a normal appearance but a burning sensation continues.

I'm getting desperate, I went to a lot of doctors, they  told me it could be an autoimmune disease. I researched and I think may be the cedialac disease, I will do tests.
While walking causes me burning, I can not wear underwear,  I need help please!!
Does anyone have the same symptoms, or know of anything?

Thank you, please if you know something answer me. :(

Ouch.  My first thought was it could be a yeast (candida) infection.  That can cause a great deal of discomfort.

 

The rash associated with celiac disease is dermatitis herpetiformis (dh).  It is a horribly itchy rash that is very sensitive to gluten consumption.  We have a forum for dh here, so asking questions about it there could give you more information. https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/26-dermatitis-herpetiformis/

 

To see if the rash is dh, a doctor will need to biopsy and test beside the rash.  You can also have blood tests done: tTG IgA, tTG IgG, DGP IgA, DGP igG, EMA IgA, total serum IgA and maybe the older AGA IgA and AGA IgG tests.  Do not eat gluten-free until testing is done.

 

I'm sure other with rash experience will offer more advice.  Best wishes.

I have to say it doesn't sound like classic Dermatitis Herpetiformis.

Welcome to the forum.  What country are you located in?

 

What you describe doesn't sound like a typical presentation of DH.  While it wouldn't hurt to get tested for that and Celiac disease, have you been tested for other things, such as Sexually Transmitted Diseases?  Have you had cultures done, where they can see if there is bacteria or yeast there?  It just seems like something may have been missed, such as a bad yeast infection perhaps.  I would see another doctor for a second opinion.

Research Lichen Sclerosus. It is a skin disease that some doctors classify as an autoimmune disorder. It mostly affects the genitals. Some get it on their chest. No one know why it happens. It happens mostly to women. There is no cure, but special hydrocortisone medication for it can relieve itching and some pain. It seems to affect those with hormonal issues like those with thyroid disease or menopausal hormone drops. You can not infect your partner.

A biopsy may be required.

I wish you well.

Thank you for your awnser.

I am living in Portugal, it can´t be Sexually Transmitted Diseases, because i had done tests.

I done tests for baterias and yeast and they are negative. I went to a more than one doctor.

Before this start i lose 10 kilos.

Best Regards

Hi everyone, my intolerance to gluten tests came back negative , but I gave positive bigotry bread yeast , I have seen on other blogs people who complain that by eating bread are burning with the genitals but will very little information about it . I will two weeks without eating bread, pasta, cereals, chocolates, drink milk or any alcoholic drink, basically just as fruit, soup, meat, fish .

My situation during these two weeks seemed to be improving , but it seems I was wrong, I still have a great ardor , when stray too walk my vagina ignites , today for example I did almost nothing and I have a big burning felling. I do not have fungi , itching , done a big variety of tests all come out negative. I am desperate please share you know .
Does anyone know how long I have to go without eating bread yeast to see results ?

Thank you

      @HectorConvector, Please try adding Niacin to your supplements.  Low Niacin has a connection with suicidal ideation.  Been here, done that.  Niacin made me feel better mentally and physically.  Omega Three fats will help, too. For pain, Thiamine, B12 and, Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic effects when taken together.  I know this works because I've cracked some vertebrae and this combination relieves the pain.  I was prescribed opioids, but couldn't function or poop, so... I can highly recommend these vitamins for pain relief.   I adopted a paleo diet, the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Improving intestinal health improves mental health because of the gut brain-axis.  Important neurotransmitter Serotonin is made in the digestive system.   Please Read... Association between dietary niacin intake and suicidal ideation: mediating role of C-reactive protein https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40859220/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/

      Hi Florence, thank you for clarifying — and no worries at all about late-night writing. I appreciate you explaining that you’re specifically asking about gluten cross-reactivity, particularly the proposed immune cross-reaction between alpha-gliadin and certain non-gluten foods on a gluten-free diet. It’s an interesting and often confusing topic. The Vojdani & Tarash paper you mentioned did report antibody cross-reactivity in laboratory settings, which has led to a lot of discussion in the gluten-free community. However, it’s important to note that in-vitro antibody reactions (in a lab dish) don’t always translate into clinically meaningful reactions inside the human body. At this point, major celiac research centers generally conclude that true immune cross-reactivity to non-gluten foods in people with celiac disease hasn’t been clearly demonstrated in well-controlled human studies. That said, many individuals do report symptoms with foods like corn, dairy, oats, or others, and those reactions can absolutely be real — they just may involve different mechanisms, such as food intolerance, FODMAP sensitivity, separate immune responses, or individual gut permeability differences rather than molecular mimicry of gliadin specifically. If certain foods consistently trigger symptoms for you, keeping a structured food and symptom log and discussing it with a knowledgeable gastroenterologist or dietitian may help clarify patterns. It’s a nuanced area, and your question is thoughtful — we just have to separate what’s biologically plausible in theory from what’s been conclusively demonstrated in patients.

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with such intense burning pain right now. When symptoms get that overwhelming, it can feel unbearable and even trigger really dark thoughts, and that’s a sign of just how much you’ve been carrying — not a sign of weakness. It makes sense that you’d want to go back to a lower-carb, meat-and-vegetable approach if that’s helped reduce symptoms before; sometimes dialing things back to simple, whole foods can calm inflammation or gut irritation. At the same time, your safety and mental health matter just as much as the physical symptoms. If the suicidal thoughts are feeling strong or hard to control, please consider reaching out for immediate support — in the U.S., you can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or go to the nearest emergency room if you feel at risk. You don’t have to handle this alone. It may also be worth checking in with your doctor soon to review what’s changed and see if there are adjustments or treatments that could ease the burning pain more effectively. You deserve relief, and you deserve support while you figure this out.

      By the way, a few years back Nestle launched gluten-free DiGiorno pizza which also used Codex quality wheat starch, but due to backlash from the celiac community quickly reformulated and it is now wheat-free. Personally I think it's not a good direction to go, considering the many alternatives available now.

      I just want to mention that a colonoscopy would not be the test for celiac disease damage, was it an endoscopy? It is not unusual to do either or both tests as a long-term follow up, especially if you're having issues. I fully understand you not wanting to go through a gluten challenge, and would be curious why they would request that part of your follow up--perhaps they questioned your original diagnosis?
