Welcome to the forum, Ian!

What you describe sounds like it could be tendonitis.

It just started recently and I’m still new to celiac!

While it is true that celiac disease has long fingers, there is a tendency in the celiac community to blame all health issues on celiac disease.

Have you ever had plantar fasciitis (inflammation of the plantar tendon on the bottom of your foot and heel)? The pattern there is for it to be so tender in the morning when you get out of bed that you can hardly walk but it loosens up some during the day as you move around. May I ask what is your age?

Never, and I’m 20. I went to the hospital in November from a celiac attack and from then on it’s been nothing but bad health. I lost about 30 pounds in 2 months and am still recovering and I’ve had a ridiculous amount of symptoms/issues since my last gluten exposure

Just came across your post. I had exactly the same problem after switching to a gluten free diet. My toe hurt so much that I almost couldn't walk. It was a gout attack. I find it interesting that you mention the weight loss. Have read a lot about this, besides a diet change, purines in food, rapid weight loss is often a reason.

Yes, I would get it tested. It sounds like it. When I was in the hospital they could tell me it‘s gout. I changed my diet. Not too much meat. I was worried because of my weight loss from gluten free. I never had it again.

Ian, are you struggling in so far as compliance with the gluten free diet?

I live on a college campus so being able to eat properly is a struggle, it will be better when I can cook for myself though!

Yes, eating gluten free on a college campus would be quite a challenge. Do you eat a central cafeteria on campus? What's the arrangement for meals there?

I'm 71 years old so I know things have changed since I was in university training. Back then we had two or three cafeterias where everyone ate together but the food was cooked in the kitchen and you went through a serving line. It was covered in our tuition. But they were full course meals.

I've had issues with toe cramping in the morning, which, in my case, was likely a magnesium deficiency, as it went away when I began taking magnesium citrate daily.

Gout is a build up of uric acid.  Thiamine helps the body process the uric acid out of the body.  

Try supplementing with Benfotiamine.  It's cleared mine up.

      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

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      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:
