Does anyone else get rashes in the same places that just randomly come and go?? I keep getting raised bumps and rash like on the back of my upper thigh. I've tried everything it seems but it always comes back

Thank you, I'm definitely wondering if that's what this is. My feet would actually blister when they would break out, but this is a little different. It is like a cluster that gets worse if I scratch or wear hot clothes or tighter pants. I've  had hives off and on my whole life. These didn't seem like the typical hives, but sounds like autoimmune hives can look differently

I had two skin symptoms before I discovered that I had celiac disease, and one was blepharitis (eyelid inflammation and rash), which, after going gluten-free, would flare up if I got any cross-contamination, and dermatitis herpetiformis, which was only in two spot--inside by right ankle, and on the back of my right thumb. The strange thing about the DH was that it never moved around or grew, it was just in two small areas.

DH typically has very tiny clear hard blisters associated with it, and it is extremely itchy, almost like poison oak/ivy itchy. Have you had a dermatologist look at it, as they could do a biopsy for DH.

No I haven't had a dermatologist look at it. If I avoid gluten it seems like I don't have any regular issues with it. I will say it was the itchiest stuff ive ever dealt with though. Calamine and hydrocortisone could barely keep the itching down- mine is mainly on the tops of my feet

I've heard that Ben-Gay cream helps, but since I've not had DH issues in many years never tried it myself.

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
