Wanting to know if anyone else with celiac has experienced excessive plantar warts. 
I had 3 cutout on the same spot on my toe in 3 months and 2 on my heal. 
Doctor said he hadn’t seen anything like it in his 30 years of podiatry.

Interesting that you mention this, but for at least 5 years of my life I had a miserable time dealing with plantar warts, and it was around the time I got diagnosed with celiac disease. I believe they are due to the HPV virus, which is very common in adults, but I had them treated several times, including surgery and an experimental drug called DNCB, but nothing worked. In the end I used duct tape, which finally got rid of them. Basically you keep them covered with duct ta[e 24/7, and only take it off in the shower, but replace it after. After a couple of weeks they come out when you pull the tape off.

I had issues with plantar warts when I was younger but not since going gluten free. Warts are viruses but who knows if we’re somehow more susceptible. I’ve not seen any studies that correlate warts with celiac or gluten.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      It's not uncommon to experience some bleeding with hemorrhoids but I doubt enough to materially effect your iron levels. About your constipation. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? 25-30 grams per day is the adult recommendation. Eggs and chicken have zero fiber. One medium apple or one average banana will have about 3 g. of fiber. A serving of oatmeal will have 3-4 g. Just to give you an idea. It's harder than you think to get 25-30 g of fiber. You have to plan for it and work at it. Getting plenty of hydration is important as well.

      Someone said this could be due to my hemorrhoids. On March 17, 2024 my ferritin level was 23.

      I agree with @trents, they should have run a total IgA.  What was the normal range for the DGP IgA test?  Different labs use different units thus have different normal ranges.
