Having pain in most all lymph nodes. Does that mean cancer?

Lymph nodes can be enlarged and tender for multiple reasons, included viral or bacterial infection. You did not provide much information, but either way, if you’re concerned, see a provider for work up.

I went and had blood work done. I was having pain in most of them. And had that dermatitis herpaformas rash. Still do. But she said my white blood count and stuff was good. But one side on my neck got bigger. Plus night sweats and stuff. But she did give me some attibotics  to see if it would go down. I think it has some and on day 3. Does ciliac disease make your hurt all over in stomach back and limp nodes? Thank you for replying.

Does anyone have know energy and limp nodes hurting in certain places? One on neck gets notice able then goes down and back. Then in groin mostly pains around neck. I have the rash DH but just eating gluten free hasn’t cleared up all the way. Been buying gluten free frozen foods but shure it got salt in it. I wake up a lot in morning are night sick at stomach. Was having night sweats but they have stopped. Had my blood work done. Everything checked out good. So gave me some peace of mind on cancer. Only thing that gets rid of neasea is promethazine. Was bloated a lot and the xfaxin stopped that. Still wounding about shortness of breath and weight loss. Waiting to get in to a gastroenterologist to be scoped. Any answers will be helpful

So to get an endoscopy to confirm celiac disease would require you to go on a regular gluten diet for at least 2 weeks beforehand, and eat at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily. I'm not sure if your comment "waiting to get scoped" was referring to a celiac disease biopsy, but if so, I just wanted you to know this.

You lymph nodes could be swollen for many reasons, and you should discuss this with your doctor to eliminate anything like cancer or lymphoma, but did you read the link above and start taking Benfotiamine (thiamine B3) yet? It might help with your shortness of breath and other symptoms. A good vitamin B complex would be a good idea.

Yes the b3 did help. But still having pain every now in again in limp nodes. The night sweats got better to. But did have one last night. I go to doctor in 3 days. I did already have blood work at my regular doctor. And everything looked good. But I know that don’t tell you everything. Now just trusting the lord. But still on gluten free diet. I’ll see what gastroenterologist says Wednesday

have you any updates on the lymph node pain?  i would assume it could be from gluten reaction and your body fighting it 

hoping eating clean fixed it

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
