Facial redness and red bumps


Jococo

Recommended Posts

Jococo Newbie

I have celiac. I follow a gluten free diet. I have noticed that my lips got really dry and I had to change to several different lip balms. Finally found a gluten-free EOS brand that worked. Unfortunately, now I have a red rash and red bumps breakout on my cheeks and around my mouth, ugh. Have I somehow been glutened? I’m so frustrated…. How do I find the right cosmetics/skincare? Anyone have any suggestions on help, direction, and coping skills with this craziness?

i had a terrible breakout 3 weeks ago and i’m a celiac 20 months gluten-free - don’t know if it was from eating eggs or tomatoes which i hadn’t eaten in awhile needless to say prior to eating gluten-free my lips and eyelids would swell up and flake - lips would be so cracked they would bleed - after eating gluten-free i’ve never had an issue with my lips but have minor flaking on my eyes still - nothing of what it used to be - i am also menopausal and hormones can also affect my skin however i generally use cetaphil as a cleanser and unscented gentle moisturizers -

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
