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. :(

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
