I was diagnosed a number of years ago but recently I've started to get dehydrated often and alot of dry skin especially around eyes and ears. Also when I overheat I get a tingling feeling all over my body, sometimes quite painful.

Has anybody had similar problems and what remedies do you suggest 

Cheers Rich

Hi @Richard1973 and welcome to the forum.

I did go through a period of feeling thirsty all the time and my first thoughts went to asking my GP to test me for diabetes.   Have you had a test for this condition as if not I think that would be the first thing to rule out?  

If you were suffering from diabetes, either Type I or Type 2, I've read that can cause dry skin and paresthesia.

@Richard1973, welcome to the forum! 

@cristiana is on the right track, stay hydrated. 

Also have your potassium level checked.  Low potassium causes dry skin and dehydration.  

We need Thiamine B1 to keep our potassium level correct.  Without sufficient thiamine, we lose potassium and our skin loses moisture.  

Ask your doctor about supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  The Gluten free diet can be lacking in the eight essential B vitamins, Omega Threes and minerals.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
