rash, does not look like DH and eye stinging/pain

So recently, I have noticed a red rash come and go on my upper stomach where the pain is. It looks nothing like DH images I have seen. It is flat, blotchy and bright red.

I started to notice it when I first woke up and thought it was just an imprint from a blanket. 

But I noticed it last night after eating and again tonight after eating, no blanket. No change in detergent. 

I recently found out my adrenal gland may have bled so I thought maybe it was that since it is in that area. Then I thought maybe it was an allergic reaction to contrast die I had in a CT scan. The only issue is that it has occurred at times when I was not scanned. So that is out. 

Since my body attacked my thyroid and adrenal gland and is now bothering my eyes, I am a little freaked out by my new rash and where the hell it is heading. 

So far, it is vanishing and reappearing and vanishing which I take to be a good thing! 

Anyone with stinging eyes with pain behind them and/or a rash on their tummy?

I experienced this last year after drinking a beer (before I went gluten-free obviously) and it progressed to rashes after eating any food, exercise, and heightened emotions. It's not welts like hives but flat, pinpoint dots that cover from my left lower rib all over my stomach. I occasionally experience it now but infrequently since going gluten-free due to Celiac but it definitely still happens. I endured testing ranging from skin-prick IgE food allergy testing to Carcinoid. I was told it is choligernic urticaria. I use antihistamine meds to mediate the histamine release if I do have an episode.

I would suggest discussing with Doctor. Having an autoimmune disease can lead to others. I get rashes that come and go but it's been diagnosed as psoriasis. I get stinging eyes and dryness this is connected to my thyroid as well as I've been diagnosed with blepharitis in my eyes which can be painful.  Suggest if skin problem persists seeing a dermatologist  and seeing  an eye doctor for your eyes.

I will follow up. I am seriously thinking it may be a new food allergy reaction.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
