Little Hard Blisters

Does anyone know what these little hard blister like things are on a persons feet ? They are on bottom and next to my big toe. I also haven't had a migrain(wrong spelling) or a cold sore on my face since being gluten free. I assume being gluten free is also helping this? I have been gluten free since Aug, 2006 :huh:

Thanks

Rebecca

Could it be plantar warts? Though gluten-free likely would have no affect on it.

They could just be callouses from your shoes - the way to check is to run your fingernail firmly (but not hard) across the bump. If it hurts and squishes, they are blisters. If it hurts and is hard, they are probably warts. If it doesn't hurt or squish, they are likely just callouses. If they are callouses, they are perfectly harmless, but if they bother you, you can sand them with an emery board when you get out of the shower and they will thin down. If they are warts, my best suggestion is to cut a hole in a potato roughly where the wart is in your foot and bury the potato in your garden - just as effective as nitrogen freezing, laser treatment or chemical burning the warts, and nowhere near as painful.

Why exactly would that work?

:lol::lol::lol: Actually this might work if you were very patient. Warts are caused by a virus and eventually the virus will leave your system. Thus if you bury the potato and wait long enough they will go away. If this wart is on the ball of your foot it could be plantars wart. Plantar warts grow in not out which is what makes them so painful. They do not appear on the toes though. You can tell a plantar wart by the fact that it is not raised and shows on the bottom of the foot as a whitish spot that is very sensitive to pressure. There are orthonics that can be attached to the bottom of your shoes that will take pressure off the wart and allow it to disapate. If the area on your foot is a lump near the toes it could also be a neuroma, don't let the name scare you it's not cancer but it is a growth on a nerve. Your best bet is to see a podiatrist for a firm diagnosis of what is going on.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
