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.

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

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
