Dh On Toes?

After I had a bath tonight I realized that my skin on my toes was very flaky, almost looking like psoriasis (and I do know the bubble bath I use only really bothers my feet! They are the only part of the body that has trouble with bubble bath)..

So i think I can add one more area of me with DH to my big list they nobody needs to know about. :lol:

Anyone else has it on their toes??

Perhaps it isn't DH but eczema. Does it look like all your other dh?

Could your feet be coming in contact with gluten some other way?

I walk around the house barefoot all the time. My dog is a very sloppy eater, and there are usually a few pieces of dog food (full of gluten) on the kitchen floor, which I have been known to step on :o .

Fortunatly, this hasn't caused me any problem - but it could. If I were getting it on my hands, I would immediately run to the sink and wash them, but it's not as easy to run to the tub and wash my feet :P .

OMG Kevsmom, I never even thought about that!! (picking it up the floor)...the rest of the house is messy eaters, and dads always complaining about crumbs everywhere...maybe I am stepping on bread crumb and it affecting my feet and setting off the bit of DH/psoriasis. And plus the bubble bath isnt varified gluten-free, but I made sure there is no wheat in it...

Yes, DH on toes, - it's nasty. :( Been dealing with it for years. Comes from eating gluten, not walking on it. The reaction always starts in the digestive tract.

In my experience DH between the toes and the fingers is awful to deal with. The only worse place is between our legs :( I hope this clears up soon for you. I also react from skin contact alone, I don't get GI problems but I can tell immediately if something I have been using is gluten filled, my hands peel and every line in my fingers and palms turns white and the skin turns red. I personally would make very sure that bubble bath if gluten-free.

      Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?

      By jeriM · Posted

      Thank you Knitty Kitty,   I have all the information for the nutritionist sitting in front of me, but I've procrastinated.   Between you and Scott - I'll contact him tomorrow and get started on a better me.   Thank you both for all the support and information.

      Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid function, too.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis frequently occurs with Sjogren's. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in celiac disease.  I also have Diabetes type two.   Discuss with your nutritionist the benefits of a low histamine diet.  A low histamine diet can help reduce inflammation and gets those inflammation markers down.  I like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal health. Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      Claritin is an allergy medication which can help with allergy symptoms, but may not be helpful with gluten exposure.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I know what you mean about the high cost of drugs. I recently had to get meds for my mother from a Canadian pharmacy because only the non-generic version is available is the USA, and it is ~$550 per month here, while in Canada the generic version is only around 1/3 the cost.
