Gluten Question?

Does any one get a small itchy rash all over after eating gluten? I was glutened on Tuesday and have been itchy ever since....

Also, I've been gluten free for about four months and I have been very careful, and lucky, and haven't been glutened since the very first few weeks, until now. The question is, do the side effects of the gluten get more severe the longer you are without the gluten? It seemed like I was much sicker and had more joint pain then I had before. And it continued for a solid 2 days, which before, it would have only lasted a few hours.

Thanks for any input!

I can get a rash and I can also get hives when I eat gluten. I seemed to get new symptoms after going gluten free that can be quite intense, such as heart problems and stomach pain.

Hi Lollie--During a gluten reaction, I get a small rash on my face and itching with no rash all over--especially my neck, arms, sides and back. The itching takes a long time to go away.

Each time I have a glutening, I am sicker longer than I was the time before. It makes me that much more careful!

Have you investigated the rash to be DH yet?

My last accidental glutening a few days ago at NYF not only did I get very sick, and itch all over but my DH came out on my skin over a period of two days. This has been the worst with a few minute crumbs of glutening. I find each time gets worse and worse. I am so very careful about being in contact with gluten.

I've been told the longer you're gluten-free, the higher the chance of actually having a bad reaction such as anaphalayxes shock. After years of being gluten-free, it's a good thing to carry an epi pen.

That's what I was afraid of! I figured it must get worse with time.....

Jenvan- I haven't looked into the DH, because I rarely have any kind of a rash. And this doesn't seem to be the same thing as what I've seen pictured and discribed. But, if it persists......

JerseyAngel- That is what my rash is like. It is mostly on my torso (especially my stomach), and it itches like crazy. Do you take anything like Benedryl?

Believe me, I will be even more careful then I was before!

I just heard that from a man who has celiac and has been gluten free for many years now. His reaction to gluten is anaphylaxis. Yikes!

My little boy has been gluten-free for 8 months now, and although I don't think he has DH, I've noticed that for the longest time he has tiny bumps on the skin of his face (which you can only see if you get really close to him). I don't know what that is, but I'm assuming it's related to celiac and maybe even permanent.

Lollie--On my torso and inner forearms, I only get red spots here and there. The rash tends to happen on my face. The itching is widespread, though. I used to use Claritan--just recently, my new allergist put me on Zyrtek, which I like. I know, it's scary when these things happen and it does make me super vigilant ;) I also use a hypoallergenic laundry detergent--usually Purex Free and Clear. I also found a mild bath soap without harsh cleansers to be helpful. California Baby Sensitive line is nice--and I can now get it at Wegmans!

Whatever you do, don't use topical benadryl! My allergist said it actually makes skin allergies/reactions worse! :o

He told me to just lay on the cortisone...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
