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.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
