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!

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
