Weird Symptom, Anyone Else?

When I have gluten not only do I have a gut reaction, I get this odd feeling on my forearm, like I have sunburn or I'm about to break out in hives (I don't). It reminds me of how it felt just prior to a shingles outbreak years ago. Does anyone else have weird skin reactions when they get glutened? Is there a consensus on what works best to help relieve the gut symptoms after the fact?

You know I get that kind of sun burn feeling just below my neck on my chest. I never thought of it as being a gluten symtom. I've only been gluten free since the beginning of the year. I'm trying to be so careful, but I have to be missing something. I seem to be more sensitive to even a small amount.

I get a similar type of skin reaction from ground celery seed, which I've read is often made from a relative of celery instead of the common vegetable. The whole seeds don't seem to bother me.

I think we do get more sensitive the longer we are gluten-free and we really have to be careful. I've been using designated slots on a shared toaster, but today I'm going out to buy my own toaster oven. I also threw out my wooden spoons yesterday and replaced them with plastic. I figured out I was being glutened when eating out after we had to eat at home for about 3 weeks straight when my husband had the flu this winter. My gut health improved a lot, so I guess we will eat out less and from now on and I'll give the server a gluten intolerance card I printed off the internet. I thought the sunburn feeling must be a gluten reaction because I've never heard of "normal" people having that kind of reaction with indigestion, but since Riceguy gets it from celery seed maybe it

My mom gets that feeling after she eats seafood, especially shrimp, i think the drs told her it was from iodine, but i could be wrong.

Yep, I get that feeling! It sucks. I used to think that maybe the water from my shower or hand washing had been too hot. Mine is often on my arms or hands, and it will move around. One day the side of my palm, the next my forearm, etc. There is never any visible aspect to it; it's just a sensation.

me, too. On my thighs. Always in the same place. Might last 3-7 days and only every year or two. One of those things I wouldn't tell anyone...because who could explain a thing like that? Obviously a neurological thing - one of many, I think. :blink:

I'm glad other people have noticed this odd symptom, yay, I'm not a total weirdo! Went to PF Changs last night and was up half the night with nausea. They were very busy and even though my waiter was good and aware when he ordered for me, I

I get that sunburned feeling all over my body. It was one of the first symptoms I got, many years ago. I'm still waiting for it to go away (I'm gluten-free for a little over a year).

Are all your bath products gluten-free Tommy? Lotions, soaps, shampoos, dryer sheets?

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
