Hi all! Does anyone else have intense skin itching WITHOUT a rash?? I itch like crazy for about an hour or so just about every day. I have no rash or anything, just itching that drives me mental!!

I get it in my scalp, constantly throughout the day.

There is no psoriasis or anything. Just itchiness. Drives me nut too!

I use Pantene shampoo and conditioner which I know is gluten-free, so that can't be it.

Just another thing I have to "grin and bear" in the Celiac world....

I get it on my legs no rash or anything. (right now I have chronic hives) It has been happening for years.

:( yup--my sister and i have had that intense itching, especially after showering--no rash, just terrible itching, especially on our legs--i have been gluten free for 3 yrs now and the itch is gone--it did help us immensely when we bought water softeners, but it was still there----so, yes--it happens to many of us--deb ;)

I always itch and used to attibute it to dry skin, now I think it has more to do with celiac disease. My back is the worst!

I switched to baby shampoo or Nutrigina for my shampoo because my head itches and that seems to help a little.

My daughter itched a lot with no visible rash. Since gluten-free she has been better, only itching occasionally.

I have bad itch when I have a gluten accident. My skin gets dry and flaky, and just iiitttccchhheeesss!!! I use coco butter lotion, but the only thing that really helps is staying gluten free.

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      thank you all for the kind words and support. it truly means a lot. i know i will adapt, it really just is a grieving process right now though. looking forward to feeling healthier!

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
