Dermographia ... Celiac Related?

I have a condition known as dermographia (skin writing). Pressure or varying temperature on the skin causes hives to occurr. I have to take antihistimines before bed and when I awaken.

Gluten gives me IBS. I've suspected that it may have something to do with dermographia as well, but my dermotologist says "No".

I just had a blood test for Celiac and the IgA returned positive. I know there are a number of different IgA readings, so I'm not sure if it means anything ... or what to do next.

Has anyone heard of dermographia being related to Celiac?

I'm new to this board and would appreciate any response.

My daughter has it - it is not related to celiac. It is an immune reponse like celiac, so someone with any of the hundreds of immune conditions would be at higher risk of developing it - but not exclusively celiacs.

Because dermatographia may be triggered by many different things and because it can be aggravated by stress and other emotions, it's sometimes difficult

I have had dermatographia since childhood. I have not had it appear since I was gluten-free about 6 months. For me it was related to the celiac.

I wonder if that's what I had that for 20-25 years, just didn't know there was a name for it. I just said that I had weird skin. I could write my name on my forearm and it would swell up. Usually gone in 30 min though. Haven't had it much since gluten free.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
