I am not sure where to post this, so I will start here. I all of a sudden have this awful scaly rash like skin on my face. It seems to be irritated when i shower. My hair products dont have wheat in them and I use Dove Body Soap.

When I get out of the shower I have been using the Tropical Traditions that I got from jenvan. And that without a doubt doesnt have wheat in it. Should I make an appointment with a dermotologist?

Could be many non-Celiac related things. Did you change makeups recently? Do you have something on your fingers that is getting on your face? I heard of someone who broke out after scrap-booking because of the stuff on her fingers. If the weather extremely dry where you live? Do you have a new pillow case that needs to be washed? If your health plan is like mine, your rash will be gone before you can get into a dermatologist :lol:

Could it be rosacea? I was dx'd with it a few years ago and mine was scaly too - the doc said that wasn't typical, but it was still rosacea. I've found that sticking strictly to my dietary restrictions (no gluten, eggs, dairy or soy) has helped a LOT and using plain coconut oil on my face (not right out of the shower - let it calm down first) is the best thing for it.

I've had a terrible problem with rashes over the past few years. The red, scaly kind that got (gets) red after taking showers. It started out on my FEET and the rash came and went over a period of a year and eventually I started getting rashes on my legs, my face, stomach, arms, back, etc. While the rash has left my feet, and gotten better for the most part (it was horrible - all over my body for a good couple of years), I get the red, scaly rashes occasionally on my legs, and SOMETIMES on my face...now it's mostly concentrated on my stomach and comes and goes as it pleases. I have a great cream that I use...very strong and I prob. shouldn't use it too much, but I do try to use it sparingly. It's a hydrocortisone cream in a petroleum base. It's the ONLY thing that will touch my rash. I have found that avoiding certain foods does help greatly, but sometimes the rash is so stubborn and exacerbated by other factors, that I need a little help sometimes.

BTW - I've been to several, different specialists about this and nobody seems to know what causes the rashes. Boo...

:(

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
