Celiac Disease and Urticaria

[mwalum]

I have had Celiac Disease for over 10 years with good tolerance.  However, this last year I developed Urtecia (horrible hives) that Zi have not been able to control even with Rx from allergist doctor.  Has anyone had success with any treatment?

Welcome to the forum, mwalum!

What do you mean by "good tolerance"? Good tolerance of what?

Hi and thanks for replying.  I mean I am able to keep from getting sick by strict adherence to no gluten consumption.

Sounds like you probably have some food allergies in addition to being a celiac. This is extremely common in the celiac community and due mostly to the leaky gut syndrome that accompanies celiac disease. You might want to look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing to get an idea of what foods may be the offenders.

But I have read that celiacs often develp other conditions, like urticaria.  My allergist doctor doesn’t seem to be on board with that info And I am wondering if anyone else has experienced chronic Urticaria with celiac.  We can’t seem to get it under control.

Oh my.  I certainly will do that.  Thank you.

Welcome! We've had others post on urticaria, and a magnesium supplement could help:

others have posted about this as well:

Mwalum,

I haven't had time to respond until now.....

I am always doing research for one thing or another......and this topic has come up before...

So I have some information that might help you.

Urticaria commonly known as hives can be a sign of Low Vitamin D levels.

Here is some research that might help you.

Entitled "Relationship between vitamin D and chronic spontaneous urticaria: a systematic review"

https://ctajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13601-018-0234-7

Hives can be a sign of a thyroid disorder as well.

Cold Urticaria has been studied in Celiac disease.

Here is the research about it.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18447142/

See also this nice article about how Vitamin D treats Hives...

Entitled "UNMC study: Vitamin D provides relief for those with chronic hives"

https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/2014/02/17/unmc-study-vitamin-d-provides-relief-for-those-with-chronic-hives-2/

You might also try taking a B-Complex, Magneisum (which is a Co-Factor for Vitamin D) and some Zinc which is an important immune regulator.

All the above play a role in how our immune system works and can help down regulate inflammation in the body.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

2 Timothy 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included.

Thank you Thank you!  I have read all those articles you sent me and am starting slowly to increase my Vitamin D intake.  Your advice was most appreciated.

I suffer from hives that appear with no obvious causes. The last allergist I saw made the conclusion it was caused by my Celiacs. You may think you're gluten free but keep in mind the reality of cross contamination. I was at the town office recently. The clerk was processing my paperwork when i noticed she had a bagle on her desk. It's so easy to get exposed

Hello!  I have had skin problems caused by Celiac.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis.  I've also had hives and eczema.  

Hives can be caused by deficiencies in Vitamin B12 or iron.  

Even though you're gluten free, that doesn't mean you are eating and absorbing enough micronutrients.  Eating a nutrient dense diet and supplementing with vitamins and minerals might be beneficial.  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies. A nutritionist may help ensure you're getting nutrient dense foods.

Hope this helps!
