Imodium liquid had gluten in it. I just found that out after each time I took it I broke out in a DH like rash of celiac on my torso under my breast and across my upper and mid back.

Do you keep a food journal? You know write down every thing that goes in your mouth. And before you do you've read the label and know what each ingredient is...? It will help alot.

What were you eating around the time or before you began noticing the rash?

Everything I ate was definaltly gluten free, and sorry for the wasted post but I went to my pediatrician today and she looked at my rash and at dh and she thought it wasn't it. I got it from wearing my softball jersey <_< It is one of the grosest things I have seen that was caused by clothing! my perscription, take allergy med. at night so I don't claw myself to death, and buy some underarmer so that my jersey won't leave its mark. Thanks a bunch anyways!!! I really do appreiciate it.

I actually just recently broke out in the same type of rash. wondering if it was caused by something I wore? I have tiny little red bumps that started on my stomach and have moved to my chest, arms and legs. They itch like crazy too. I went to the dermatologist and he really had no clue what it was. He prescribed topical steroids, but I am pregnant and don't feel comfortable using that. I was away this weekend but I know that everything I ate was gluten free and I have never gotten a rash from eating gluten before (have been gluten free for 2 1/2 years now). Could it be from using my husband's soap? (I usually use body wash)? Any suggestions at all? Could it be DH? This is so frustrating because I am going away this weekend and now have an ugly/itchy rash all over.

I was going to ask you all about a rash today, too. I get on on my scalp by my forehead. Some of the bumps look like red blisters, but there are also smaller flesh colored ones. I showed my husband pics of dh and he says if that's it, mine is very mild. I figure they take pictures of bad cases for examples ... what could this be? Anyone else get rashes on their scalp? I usually get a couple blister type things that look similar to pimples on my face when this happens, too. This is the worst I've had it and the first time that it's been itchy.

I have only found one laundry detergent that doesn't bother anyone in the house. If I wash the clothes in something else, or use those dryer fabric softeners, someone will get a rash. I also break out in a rash with new clothes, so I have to wash everything before I wear it. Just a couple ideas ...

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
