Itchy And Crawling Skin

evansnuna Newbie

I am new. Was told 5 yrs ago that i was allergy to many foods and outside things, mold , grasses , dust mite. I was still eating gluten food and other foods that I shouldnt have. Now I am in trouble. My belly is swollen , like i am 9 mos pregant, I have the feel like ants crawling under my skin. LIke when someone has bile going through their bloodstream, from gallbladder problems. I cant stand the itchy ,crawly feeling. Every time I eat i get pains in my sides, especially the right side. I am tired all the time and want to eat all the time.

Does any one have any ideas to what I can do.

thank you

evansnuna :(

Welcome to this forum, and I am sorry to hear you are feeling so poorly.

I get that creepy crawly feeling from reactions to chemicals. I am not sure of the answer for you though it sounds like your sensitivity might be getting worse. Are you still eating the foods that you know you are allergic to?

Years ago I was in that state, and there are a number of reasons including psychological stress, lyme disease, candida, parasites (like ameoba, etc.), and probably celiac/gluten sensitivity which is the newest discovery for me. I am an allergic type person but it got really out of hand because my system was so bombarded.

You could try simple foods, organic, avoiding gluten and the things you know you are allergic to, choosing the easiest foods to digest, plus cook things thoroughly.

Perhaps before you avoid gluten you might want to do some tests, at least to see if you are celiac.

There could be very many things going on, have you had anything else checked besides allergies?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
