Lip Inflammation, Constant Peeling And Redness

Well mine is pretty inconsistent with food. I can have redness and peeling after eating a certain thing today, but if i try it another time it wont happen, and i can have redness and peeling right after i wake up and have not eaten a single thing.

 

I do think about vitamin deficiency but the dermatologists i go to just laughed at that idea. I had hives come and go but i am on antihisamine 24/7 now. If i stop taking a pill for 2 days i have very bad itching all over my body, even my scalp. I have not had any skin problems till recently which was why i thought it was weird but the dermatologists here are not helpful at all. Only thing i was allergic to since i was young was just dust.

 

It could be an immune system problem though, where your body just constantly attacks itself due to whatever reason. But yeah i agree doctors are still learning.

Doctors don’t know anything about this. I’ve looked into Anthony Williams and it possibly being related to Epstein bar virus or vitamin a toxicity. When I drink celery daily it seems to heal everything so that I can eat “bad foods again” but when I stop the celery for a week things start to come back so... I don’t know what the heck is up. 

My lips been peeling for 4 years. I don’t know what doctors do with their time really.

I’ve had this for the last 4 years constant peeling of the lips. 

Celery juice recommended by Anthony Williams helped me but I haven’t been able to keep the celery going I keep going and stopping. 

I think jt may have to do with the liver whether it’s Epstein bar virus or vitamin a toxicity.

still trying these things out.

I read where celiac can cause more skin cancer. A matter of fact, it was how one lady got diagnosed from having several bouts of skin cancer lesions. I myself, am having the exact same problem and have already lost an eyebrow to skin cancer. I am pending a diagnosis for Celiac as I have always had several symptoms but really feeling nervous about my lip issue now. They just burn. I know what you're going through and it's very frustrating.

How is your vitamin D level?  Vitamin D deficiency is common with Celiac Disease.

Decreased expression of vitamin D receptor may contribute to the hyperimmune status of patients with acquired aplastic anemia  "In conclusion, decreased expression of VDR might contribute to the hyperimmune status of AA and appropriate vitamin D supplementation could partly correct the immune dysfunction"

      I had to rush to the hospital last week due to anaphylactic shock from taking a dose of an antibiotic. Received EpiPen, steroids, antihistamines, zofran (all injected/IV). When I woke up the next day, ALL of the rashes I've had that started since going gluten free were cleared up. EVEN THE dermatitis herpetiformis was gone. Has anyone else experienced this or happen to know why that would happen? The meds they gave me were all meds that I've taken to try to resolve the rashes, but they never worked in pill form. I'm wondering if it the addition of the epi that helped, it if injected steroids and antihistamines were what did the job.

      Exactly! Negative genetics can rule out celiac disease with close to 100% certainty. It takes tTg antibody testing and biopsy confirm the diagnosis in a genetically susceptible individual.

      What Dr. Gunn states is essentially true. It is a rule out measure. But be aware that to possess either of the two primary genes that have been identified with celiac disease (or both) doesn't necessarily mean that you have or will develop celiac disease. Almost 40% of the general population carries one or both but only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. It remains latent until triggered by some stress event which may or may not occur. So, there is a genetic component to celiac disease but there is also an epigenetic component. 
    • Dr. Gunn
      Have you had celiac genetic risk testing? A celiac genetic test is accurate with or without gluten in your diet. If you don't carry the celiac risk genes you can effectively rule out celiac disease for life.

      Based on those results alone, it’s not possible to say you have celiac disease. The test that is usually most specific for celiac, tTG-IgA, is negative in your results, and the endomysial antibody (EMA) is also negative, which generally argues against active celiac disease. However, your deamidated gliadin IgA is elevated, and your total IgA level is also high, which can sometimes affect how the other antibody tests behave. Another important factor is that you were reducing gluten before the test, which can lower antibody levels and make the results less reliable. Because of that, many doctors recommend a gluten challenge (eating gluten regularly for several weeks) before repeating blood tests or considering an endoscopy if symptoms and labs raise concern. It would be best to review these results with a gastroenterologist, who can interpret them in context and decide whether further testing is needed.
