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.

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

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
