Anxiety, Panic Attacks, dermatitis, Gluten?

Recently, over the past few years I have had to take some steroids to control what has yet to be diagnosed as dermatitis or psoriasis, test results coming soon from biopsy.  Also recently i have been diagnosed with diverticulitis.  I have always had issues with stomach, pain, IBS, diarrhea, and heightened levels of anxiety and panic attacks.  I am wondering if there is a connection with Gluten intolerance.  Has anyone had any experience with anxiety and Celiac.  Profuse sweating on palms, under arms and groin areas.  With these i have also just started getting yeast/fungal infections in groin area, psoriasis/dermatitis on scalp, folds between buttocks and scrotum.  Thinking all these symptoms are pointing to Celiac, any ideas or info is greatly appreciated.

I have not been diagnosed celiac, but I can tell you that after going gluten free 8 months ago, my panic attacks have diminished about 80%. I have psoriasis and haven't had an outbreak since.  You have to keep eating gluten in order to be tested so keep that in mind. Good luck, you are definitely not alone here.

Where did the term take the biopsy from? On a lesion or on clear skin adjacent to a lesion?

Anxiety is super common with untreated celiac. All the GI things you named are common with celiac.

BTW, you need to be eating gluten everyday for testing for celiac. That includes the dh biopsy, the blood tests & the endoscopy.

If you are currently on steroids, and have been on them for awhile, they may influence your testing towards the negative on your celiac blood testing. Not sure if it would effect you possible dh testing or not.  How did they biopsy your rash?

Yes, the steroids can return false negatives on the rash biopsy also.

I have been taking the steroid .25mg (ketosomething) to reduce the rashes but have been off them for a couple weeks now (rashes come back after two weeks of ending treatment). Just taking the Nystatin (no effect, just want to appease doctors orders) at this point.  The biopsy will take place on the 24th of this month and my colonoscopy will take place September 1 Gastroenterologist is very familiar with Celiac.  i have decided to just keep eating the Gluten foods until all tests are done.  I will of course update dermatologist of what i have researched and hope she is familiar with the correct procedures for testing.  Thank you all for the information.

Make sure they biopsy on clear skin next to the rash for the dh possibility. Mine didn't go away with anything at all- my dumb drm didn't know about dapsone- so I suffered at least a year into the gluten-free diet.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
