Have you been tested for parasites? It is possible that they could be the cause.

How about hemroids? They can also make you itch, they can be external or internal.Vagasil will calm the itch (external only). Have you changed laundry soap or dryer sheets, bath soap & so on, they can cause real havoc on a persons skin.

I was going to suggest these things.

I have internal hemmorhoids, and I get the itching sometimes, too. Not from gluten, necessarily, but from acidic or highly spiced foods--or even something I'm intolerant to. It dosen't take much to set it off--a small amount of corn syrup in a product, for example, will do it for me.

Make sure you wipe very thoroughly :ph34r: but not so much to irritate, and try a bath to speed healing.

try using baby wipes instead of toilet paper and put corn startch based baby powder

Yes I get the same thing. I use vaseline and it seems to take the itch away for awhile. I seem to get very dry there.

I have used witch hazel to help stop itching (just soak a cotton ball, and apply for several minutes). It sucks huh!

CHECK YOUR DIET!!! Could be candida, or intestinal yeast. Someone suggested parasites and yes, that could be it. It 's even more likely an instestinal yeast problem.

Somewhere here, Rachel has a thread about it. I have chronic lyme disease and with that suppressed immune system also comes yeast. Rachel posted about a connection between celiac and candida. I would agree with what she posted. I hope you can find it. [i just read it yesterday.]

Here is some additional info on the yeast:

Open Original Shared Link

"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."

Five Steps to Candida Elimination:

1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.

2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]

3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]

4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]

5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]

Also check into two products:

www.drnatura.com

www.theralac.com

Both are awesome for the above problems.

It could be other allergies/intolerances. In reality, gluten doesn't bother me that much. I swell up like a balloon and my joints get cranky for a day or two and then I'm fine. But nothing, and I mean _NOTHING_ hits me worse now since going gluten free than seeds/nuts. Even things which should not have protein in it like peanut oil or even canola oil(made from rapeseeds). Everytime I accidentally ingest any sort of nut/seed in any form I would immediately have D within 2 hours, and would have the worst itchy anus. I'd have D only once, but my anus would still itch for days. Since removing the offending foods, I've been itchy anus free.

hi,

i agree that this might be candida. you must take a stool test to find out. this may sound funny, but dandruff is also caused by candida and whenever my candida flairs up (i get itching on the toes if i have too many fruits), i just put some head and shoulders on the toes while i'm still in the shower and let it get rinsed off with the shower water. the itching usually stops immediately.

Definitely could be yeast. Try getting Monistat or Micatin cream over the counter and see if that helps.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting that a topical cream will cure you, but a good test.

I have the same thing, it is soooo annoying. I did a gluten challenge about 2 months ago and only lasted 3 weeks. My doc told me to stop cause I was getting too sick. But the itchy bum persisted. I kept on thinking it would get better, but it got worse. I started bleeding badly and it started hurting soooooooo bad! Turned out to be ulcerative proctitis. Temporary hopefully due to gluten and ......other allergies, casein namely. If it doesnt go away go to a doctor . It could also be hemorroids or an anal infection. My N.D gave me citricidal for a chronic bacterial infection, which could also cause anal itching. There are so many causes for that it is hard to know. I am taking proctosone and the bleeding had stopped but not the itching. And when it itches, man does it itch. Being in public is rather emabarrassing!!!! Hope it gets better and hope you find the cause. I also think that when we go totally gluten free that our immune system goes a little wacky sometimes and causes weird things to happen, just a theory.!!!! Hope you find your cause and God bless

      Awaiting Biopsy results

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hello, I'm back with a second post. The first time I wrote, I mentioned the possibility that my symptoms were related to gluten. I did a genetic test in which I resulted to have the predisposition, but the results of my blood test were all negative without IgA deficiency. My doctor suggested that it was necessary to do a biopsy to rule out Celiac Disease. However, he said, because of my family history and my symptoms were strongly related to gluten, it was very possible that my Celiac Disease is developing and my antibodies may become positive in the future.  I tried to continue the gluten challenge for the biopsy, around 2-3 g of gluten per day, but it was enough to make me feel worse each passing day. I started developing anemia and other mild nutritional deficiencies, and it was really affecting my daily life. I'm a student and exams are coming up, so my doctor suggests me to strictly remove gluten until I feel better so I could study without problems until I could do the gluten challenge when I come back home for holidays. Since going gluten free, I feel like a completely different person. My mind is clearer, I have no stomach pain during the day, and even my nails improved within just two weeks. It could also be Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, but of course I’ll need the biopsy to know for sure. I was wondering, has anyone else had negative blood tests at first and later tested positive? And has anyone struggled with the gluten challenge because of symptoms?

UNMMMMM. I don't want it, its been my life confirmed in 1994.Menopause intensified extra sensitivity and medical has down played my sibo, ibs, CELIAC, now im having skin and eye issues. I thought help was available but its been a complete medical disaster.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By emzie · Posted

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (
