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.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      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.
