skin rash

[MADMOM]

the other day i ate some eggs with mushrooms and woke up next day with itchy skin on my face near my chin and upper neck and jaw area - it went away later in day but then at night after eating grilled chicken with some tomatoes and greek cucumber dip it came back and i still feel it - my chin feels itchy and even numb a little - i haven’t eaten eggs or tomatoes in awhile and recently had some lactose in my diet - wondering if this was a reaction to one of these foods - it’s got me nervous - last time i had this was 5 months prior to my celiac diagnosis - anybody have a similar experience ?

I would look for some ingredient common to both those eating experiences? Was egg used in the cucumber dip?

no but i had heavy cream and reg ice cream and then eggs this week and im

thinking it might be the lactose - it’s such a weird itch on my chin and jawbone and blotchy only in that area 

it still feels slightly tingly and tiny bit numb - the only other time i had it was prior to my diagnosis -

Lactose is the sugar component in dairy. Allergic reactions are caused by proteins.

what do you suppose it is?  that’s really the only thing i had too much of this week generally i eat clean and don’t use reg milk -have u ever had this type of reaction?  the only other thing i read on was menopause can cause these flare ups too if there is any type of hormone imbalance and i have had an episode of feeling like my cycle was coming this month when i haven’t had one in 2.5 years

i did have ketchup with those eggs then tomoatoes the next night!! maybe it was that - but ketchup never really gave me any reaction before

Allergies can develop at any time. It might be a good idea to keep a food diary to see if there are patterns.

oh def - i was a bit care less this week with the dairy and eggs so i’m resetting my diet and hopefully it will not occur again - ty for your advice

It could still be an allergic reaction to dairy due to the protein "casein".

Some folks have issues with "nightshades" - and tomatoes is one of them.  I'm thinking of doing a food diary too. Since going gluten free - dairy has become an issue for me.
