About a month ago I had a blistery rash between a couple of my toes on both feet. It spread on to the top of my foot but not too far. I assumed it was Athlete's foot, even though I had never had this before. All the Lotramin and foot powder in the grocery store did not get rid of it. When I got a rash on the heels of both hands I figured out it was Poison Ivy!

Discussing celiac disease with people at work I had this light bulb moment - could it be DH. My mother's twin sister was dx 50 years ago and I have a niece with celiac disease (DM at age 9 and celiac disease at age 15).

Anyone have any similar symptoms - ideas. I do not know if it is in my head or not but I feel itchy all over sometimes.

Any help appreciated.

It could be. You should be screened because of the family history.

Some people have said Vic's vapor rub is better for athlete's foot than the Lotromin products. :blink:

I think I am feeling the same thing. I keep breaking out on my feet and legs, and sometimes I itch all over. I don't know what it is either, so I guess I can't be of much help. But if there are two of us, it can't just be in our heads, right? :huh:

I am going to eat gluten (maybe I just had my last pizza) today and tomorrow and then get in for a blood test. I am sure my M.D. will not want to do it based on the rash so I am going to lie and say I have the typical GI symptoms. Given that if I come back with a negative I am going to consider the genetic testing.

Thanks for the response - I cannot believe it took a month to make the connection. I have not been dx with celiac but facilitate a support group as part of my work (partly begun because of my family history). One lady talks about feeling itchy on her scalp.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
