celiac disease can go with a whole plethora of skin complaints (and aggravate them)

My husband had psoriasis before going G.F and since going G.F myself I have found that my eczema has got alot better. :)

Since cutting gluten out of my children's breakfasts, snacks, and dinners (as far as I know, they don't have celiac, so I let them have bread or pasta at lunch), I have noticed that my 7-year-old's eczema has disappeared.

I don't know if celiac causes eczema, but I'd say in my son's case, gluten overload causes it!

Thanks for sharing. I was hoping for a definate dx of celiac from the dermatologist but, on the other hand I'm glad I don't have DH! Guess my next move is to get the Gene testing.

Thanks!

I have eczema in my ears (right at the top of the entrance to the canals) and it is INCREDIBLY painful. It only flares up now when I accidentally ingest gluten. Actually, it's one of my first signs. I don't think Celiac causes it, but I think gluten aggravates it in me for sure.

I don't know, but I hope so since I have Eczema (I hope it goes away since I am now gluten free). I know that Celiac/gluten intolerance can cause a bunch of skin problems. I sure eczema could be one of them.

      Manitol and mri

      It looks like "mannite" is another name for "mannitol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannitol You are correct that it can trigger IBS-like symptoms, as we recently did an article on this: I'm not sure if there is a way around this, as it is likely needed for the test. Perhaps contact your doctor to see if there might be an alternative?

      Toothpaste question.

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune r...

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.
