Weird Symptoms

I have been having sore palms lately and am wondering if it is from handling gluten? The other night I noticed they were hurting/burning and looked at them and they were really red. Feels almost like a first-degree burn--not quite as bad--but similar to the pain. Not linked to any cleaning solutions/activities --It will just start all of a sudden. Anyone else have this? I also get really hot after eating. About one half hour to an hour I get super hot and then it goes away. It is becoming worse and I do not relish going back to that guy "formerly known as my dr." !!!!! :blink:

Anyone?! The hot flushes--did anyone get them after being gluten-free in the beginning? Thyroid? Detox?

Don't think it's menopausal. Happens after eating/drinking anything. Any suggestions at all???????

I didn't answer earlier because I don't get the flushes in my hands the way you do. However, before I was gluten-free, and for a while after, my face would get very hot. It would be hot to the touch--like a fever. It was not like a hot flash. My skin and the inside of my mouth would get very hot. I really think it was connected to gluten because it seems to have stopped happening.

Also, it was not my thyroid--I've been tested several times.

I don't really have an answer for you either, though I flush far too easily, and my ears get hot a lot! (people can't be talking about me all the time ;) )

Once or twice (literally) I've woken up in the morning unbelieveably hot. Like, nothing could make it better, it just had to resolve itself. Never found out why, though.

Thyroid is fine on me, too

Thanks, maybe I'm getting gluten from an unknown source, or another sensitivity. I don't know much about thyroid conditions, so I was a little worried about that one. The hand thing is very weird, though. I guess I may have to get it checked out since it is getting worse--had it all day. Thanks again. Have a good nite! :)

I had hot flushes constantly...sometimes I would sweat...sometimes I'd get chills too. I was sweating profusely (hands too) but I had an overactive thyroid. Treating my thyroid didnt fix the problem so it wasnt my thyroid after all. When I went gluten free it got ALOT better but still happens occasionally. I just recently got diagnosed with a bacteria infection so I think it was my body trying to fight off the infection. I also had low-grade fever but didnt realize it...whenever I went to the doctor a few times they mentioned I had a very slight temp. Its been happenning more since I've been on antibiotics for the infection. I think its something to do with the body working really hard or something. :unsure:

I hadn't really thought about this until reading this thread, but I haven't had any hot flushes since being gluten-free - sometimes my face used to just burn up really bad as if I had a fever.

Robbin, do you have any skin condition on you hands? I've had dermatitis on my fingers. It did improve when going gluten-free, although hadn't completely cleared up when I stupidly played with DS with his play dough :ph34r: The dermatitis matches flared up and were really sore like they were burning, just as you described.

Could you have Fifths disease? It can cause the hands to get red and hot, sometime they would even itch!

I used to get flushed a lot in the pre-gluten free days.

My sister-in-law had fifth disease about 2 years ago and said she was absolutely miserable with the pain in her hands.

Thanks everyone for the input. I am still getting the hot flushes, but the hands are much better. Just dry now, and a little soreness. Like the skin is too tight. I thought I was gluttened last week, but now I am wondering if indeed I had fifth since I was around a lot of kids in the past few weeks. My nephew had it a number of years ago and when you all mentioned it, the hand pain made sense, his was the same. I have had a lot of sinus and what I thought were allergies too, so maybe that was viral after all. It's funny how I tended for all these years to blame everything on fibromyalgia, and now I blame it on celiac. Thanks so much!

Think I figured the hand thing--xanthan gum--started a new thread with questions about that. Thanks so much wonderful friends! :)

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
