Our son has never had a skin reaction to gluten before, and we dont think he has gotten gluten in the last couple weeks, but yesterday he broke out in a rash that started only in his diapered area, but now goes all the way to his toes, and his hand are starting to break out to. The reash does not recact at ll to hydrocotorizone cream (1%), nor destin. He does not seem to even notice its there, it does not appear to itch him at all, and I have not seen him scratch it.

He has a doc's apt already for 4pm monday but we might try to bump that up in light of this.

If it was the Dh or what ever its called when some ppl react to gluten on thier skin, how wouuld we know? What would be a tell tail sign?

Is it sand papery? It could be fifth's disease.... If it is, it's not so bad for him... will take several weeks to clear out of his system. He will be TIRED and get itchy. Tired will last for several weeks.... Adults who get fifths can get JOINT PAIN THAT IS REALLY BAD. - I know first hand- <_< Lasts several MONTHS and you cannot understate how bad it can be. Rocked our small town last spring. Many adults out of commission with it.

No, not sandpapery, many bit red welts, well of various sizes, but distinctly seperate welts.

I never had a skin reaction to gluten until after I started the diet and got glutened. If I have the slightest amount of gluten, I will get skin break-outs. They are mosquito/chicken pox like bumps which are usually itchy and they sometimes form a rash. I'm not sure if it is DH which is celiac related or if it is a wheat allergy reaction. Thankfully I've never had enough gluten to find out how bad it gets.

That sounds right, but he is not scratching.

If it is DH, how fast after gluten would it set in?

They don't always itch. Some seem to itch when they first break out and then the itching seems to go away.

Mine come within 12-24 hours after I get glutened.

I've only noticed it from ingesting gluten. I've touched gluten since going on the gluten free diet and it didn't seem to do anything.

PHEW back form the doc, its "only" somthing called "Hand, foot and mouth disease".

Was in a fit trying to guess where glutne could have come from LOL I guess its natural to get to senstize to gluten problems....

It can become quite irritated in the mouth and throat. My friend's children had it and they were CRANKY and very sore in their mouths. Popsicles or jello are in order.

My dd had Hand, foot & mouth last summer. She felt really bad and her mouth was really sore. It's hard with very young children because they have a hard time discribing how they feel. From what her ped. said it is highly contagious amoung children. Has your ds run a fever with the virus?

Hope he's feeling better soon. :)

Glad you found out what it was...hope he's feeling better soon!

I did the same thing a while back, Em was sick, and I was *sure* she had been glutened. She had a high fever, and later broke out in a rash. Turned out to be plain ole case of Roseola! :D

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
