Can Being Glutened Cause A Rash?

I was diagnosed with celiac disease about 2 months ago. I've been on a gluten-free diet for the last 3 weeks. This weekend I've come out in a rash over my hands, arms, neck and scalp. I'm wondering if this may be the result of being glutened. It fits the description of Dermatitis Herpetiformis very well.

I was one of the "lucky" ones that didn't have any symptoms prior to my diagnosis apart from anemia, so I don't know what to expect when I do get glutened.

Yes, getting a rash when glutened is quite common, it sure happens to me.

Most definitely. I get hives when wheat touches my body, like in shampoo or something. Many of us get rashes from being glutened too, it's very normal. Deb

YES YES YES YES YES

that was one of my first symptoms as a child, rashes all the time, when I went gluten-free, the rash over my entire face and upper body dissappeared. Anytime wheat touches my daughter's skin she breaks out in hives...

Yea this is most likely from gluten. Be sure to check out the DH section of the board and also watch out for iodine.

Thanks guys. Guess I'll just have to put up with it until it's gone. Hopefully it will disappear of its own accord over the next day or two.

I think I have PF Chang's to thank for getting glutened even though I ordered off the gluten-free menu.

      Untreated celiac

      1000 calories per day is not near enough to sustain your body's needs. You should be aiming for twice that much. You are in a borderline starvation mode and even apart from celiac disease that explains a lot of your medical issues. And you should be aiming for 75-100 gm of protein per day. Do you have access to eggs? Protein powders are good for supplementing protein should not become the main source of dietary protein as they lack any supporting necessary nutrients. Eggs are a nearly complete food, being an excellent source of protein, vitamins and healthy fats.

      Basically I don't eat lots of protein from so I bought protein powder I Don't know how much but I just make 2 scoops of it and mix it with dates and milk .and I just calculated the things I eat in the day and I am surprised that I get less than 1000 calories 😬.

      How many grams of protein per day would you say you are getting and how many calories per day? I did some research on causes for low creatin and low urea.

      Oh, lovely, another knitter!  What are your favorite things to knit?  I love knitting lace.  Lace doileys and shawls.  And socks, not necessarily lacy though. Low Vitamin D has an impact on the thyroid. The Role of Vitamin D in Autoimmune Thyroid Diseases: A Narrative Review  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9966459/ Impact of Vitamin D on Immunopathology of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: From Theory to Practice https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37513592/ P.S. if you're low in one vitamin, you're probably low in others as well.  Have you had other vitamins checked for deficiencies?

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      Vitamin D acts as a hormone and influences other hormones if the Vitamin D level is at eighty nmol/l or above.   I had a lot of hormone problems when my Vitamin D was in single digits prior to diagnosis of celiac disease.  Vitamin D is needed to keep bones strong and helps regulate the immune system, lowering inflammation.   I used high dose Vitamin D 3 to correct my deficiency quickly.  It's very safe and recommended by doctors.  Take Vitamin D 3, not the D 2 form prescribed frequently.  D2 is not utilized as well as D 3.  Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D in the body.   Interesting Reading: Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation Can Correct Hypovitaminosis D Prior to Total Knee Arthroplasty https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ The short-term effect of high dose vitamin D3 supplementation in improving hypovitaminosis in patients with type 2 diabetes - A randomized clinical trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35470105/ The role of vitamin D in menopausal women’s health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10291614/#:~:text=Vitamin D (VD) is known,menopause are also increasingly prominent.
