Itching (but No Rash) After Glutening

Last night I went out to a local mexican joint, and ordered grilled chicken with rice and refried beans.

Last time I ate there I got sick, but I assumed it was from the tortillas since they are made on the same press as the flour ones, and since corn sometimes makes my tummy unhappy.

This time I didn't eat the tortillas.

I still got sick. By sick I mean explosive diarrhea and bloating and tummy cramping.

By the time I got home my body was itching all over. It still itches today. There is no rash that is noticeable. I don't think I have DH have never noticed anything unusual on my skin other than little bumps I've always had on my upper arms but I think that's normal.

Is it possible the itching could be related to gluten intolerance? (I am not yet diagnosed)

I think the itching has to be connected.

I get the itching with no rash or skin redness--it's gotten better the longer I'm gluten-free and have fewer reactions.

I also use laundry detergents with no dyes or perfumes like All or Purex Free and Clear. That helps, too :)

I'm not sure about the connection, but I do know that refried beans can contain flour so that may explain your glutening.

I do feel a bit itchy after glutening. I never get a rash and luckily the itching isn't too bad for me.

Also if the broth they used to make the spanish rice has gluten in it, I have a hard time finding gluten-free spanish rice.

I get itching with no rash, uncontrollable embarrassing itching all over my body, from my scalp to the bottom of my feet.

Oh wow - I'm not alone!

Yes I'm sure I was glutened via a) the marinade for the chicken, B) the beans or c) the broth the rice was made in. Either way, I won't be eating there again (sadly)

I'm kind of relieved to know that it could be gluten-related and I'm not just going crazy!

I will take some Benadryl tonight - The itching is bad, and it literally affects me from my scalp to my feet. Argh!

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
