Hello, well for the past few weeks I have had a strange red peeling sort of rash on the sides of my nose where they tough my face...It sort of itches but not to bad, it is very red and annoying to me!! Before I was gluten-free I got sores in my nose and mouth, but they have pretty much disappeared since...but now this wierdness, well if anyone else has this, or knows anything celiac or otherwise that may cause this please let me know. It sort of looks like I have allergies or blow my nose a lot but neither is true.....

What facial products are you using if any? Think that info could help someone answer more. I don't know anything for sure, but I think I've read some soaps can have gluten in them, and once you've been gluten free long enough, if you hadn't reacted to them before, you could start doing so.

Doing a quick search of the forums, these threads might help:

Skimming these threads, think it could very well be something your using. So hopefully this helps. =)

hi! I'm a Heather Ann too.

My face used to be all red and irritated around my nose and mouth all the time, but it went away after I stopped eating casein and soy (as well as gluten of course). Just my 2c. Be really careful about what you're putting on your face. I basically just use cetaphil and it is pretty much the only thing that is mild enough not to cause any issues.

I know this is could be completely unrelated, but I used to get an inchy painful rash around my arm pits. I eventually discovered that I was allergic to secret deodorant. So, I would definately check out the products you use on your face. :)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
