HI, I had posted on the coping board that I'm not going to be doing the Celiac diet anymore. Now, about three days later, I have this rash on the inner upper part of my thighs. When I've had this before, the doc has had me put the anti fungal cream on it used for athlets foot. It does help with the itching, but that's about it. Maybe I"ll be back on the Celiac diet before I have a better attitued next week.

Mine looks exactly like the picture of the abdomine from the link Ursula shared.

Nicole, I had the absolute ITCHIEST rash on my thighs, abdomen, chest, arms off and on for 20 years and used all kinds of cremes, lotions, spent oodles on dermatologists and the only thing that got rid of it completely was going gluten-free. It did take 2 months until it was all gone, and I did feel worse sometimes before I got better(-stomach-wise, and had night sweats and hot flushes,) but that all faded after a couple of months. I still have issues, but thank-you-God, that horrible itch is gone. :blink: Try gluten-free again, and a lotion that is soothing I tried is called Respite. Also for severe itching I used something called Itch-x . These were otc, I hated the steriod cremes. (The Itch-x does burn, but it sure beats itching in my opinion) Take care and please try going really strict for a couple months gluten-free and see if it helps. Sometimes you feel worse before it gets better, but once you are over that "hump" you will feel better.

Well, the Rheumy said it looked like Candida and sent me to get Tetrazol, which has helped. And she said "get back on the gluten diet" and it'll be interesting to see how quickly it clears up..becuase I've been known to have it for weeks over the years.

I am doing better and back on the diet.

Still working on the attitude.

Good for you Nicole on getting back on the diet. I sure that goes away soon, I can really relate to having a rash there. I have had one there before many times. I found sticking to this better the second time around, especially when I get really sick from just a few crimes.

Hi Nicole,

I don't believe it's candida. Maybe you should get a skin biopsy? If you get diagnosed with DH (if that is what it is, but if it isn't, that would be a little too much of a coincidence, as you JUST started eating gluten again!), you're automatically diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the way, I used to get the same problem, especially in the summer when sweating. We'll see how this coming summer will be.

      EDG 3 years ago fine, now it shows focal villous blunting,

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
