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! :)

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
