Does anyone have Keratosis Pilaris as a skin condition related to Celiac and *NOT* DH? (I do)

I would put my money on hormonal imbalance.  I had KP after my doctor included testosterone in my hormonal cocktail to combat some pretty severe perimenopausal symptoms.  It resolved once we dropped the testosterone.  But nothing surprises me about celiac disease and what it can do to your body.

This is quite possible, if I am glutened (which happens) I get it bad. I noticed that within a day of no gluten, it clears up nearly completely.

I've had this my entire life. Only since going gluten free, has it cleared up. Hmmm.........

But I also do believe I'm having hormone issues (long story, but I'm 2 years post radiation and chemo, and I think I may be going into early menopause or SOMETHING is up... I have a doctor appointment next week.)

Thanks for the reply :)

My son had keratosis pilaris covering his entire torso at one point. I believe it was caused by elevated thyroid and/or gluten consumption.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
