Those Red Crazy Looking Bumps...

are they related to celiac disease? Anyone have them? Let me explain.

I was reading a post below where someone was talking about blisters and the purple marks they leave after. I get these. I never understood why. I get them on my abdomen mostly. They are painful, sometimes they have puss other times not, they take forever to heal and always leave a purple mark. Eventually they do go away but it takes months.

Sorry for asking about all of these things but I am just getting lightbulbs going off in my head with the things you all are going through that I am experiencing too that baffle me.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my initial post! I appreciate it!

Please tell me though...those "things", are they related to the celiac disease or just some strange thing I have?

Thanks!

Jen

The only skin-related problem I have had thus far- and not since I've eliminated wheat- were welts across my tummy that looked as if I had been whipped. The doctor saw them and said that they were hives.

Jen I can't say for sure that this is my spot as well. But I get them now and again, they can appear anywhere and they leave a purple mark that lasts a long time, and the actual sore does take a while to heal, it will either has puss or not. My husband calls them "one of those spots."

I have thought they have been of late related to accidental gluten consumption. But who know.

They could be DH, you may want to look in the dermatitis herpeformis section and also you might want to post this question there.

The spot you photographed looks a lot like the DH outbreaks I had pregluten free.

My sister and I both have those spots, but on our legs and arms. Ours have never gone away, I have had one on each leg for years, every now and again I nic them with a razor :angry: and aggravate them!

I got three on my foot, right on top of the tendons that go to my toes. So they rub all day in shoes, and are conveniently place so as to even rub in flip-flops! This is the last reaction to fade from my glutenings.... takes at least a month. These are itching and hurting like crazy, too, with the sweat and rubbing at work in tennis shoes. :(

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
