I have been having boils for about a month on my butt and thighs not fun I had them for about a year before going gluten free and then they clear up. I was dignosed 4 years ago by blood and biospy I don't go to many dr's any more no insurance so I try to cure my self. Do you think it could be liver related , It has to be autoimmune related don't you think I also had them as a kid I think I was the only one in my family out of 7 kids to have them and the only one to have celiac at least so far I am 55 and the yongest. Here are my labs of 4 years ago

Reticulin IgA 1:10 titer Abnormal Normal Range <1:10

Endomysial IgA >=1:160 titer Abnormal Normal Range <1:10

Gliadin IgG 80 EIA Units High Normal Range <20 EIA Units

Gliadin IgA 111 EIA Units High Normal Range <20 EIA Units

Liver Profile

ALT 60 High Normal Range 6-54

AST 49 High Normal Range 5-35

I did go through a streak of getting boils when I was in my 20's. I never did find the cause. I went gluten free the beginning of this year. Have you had your sugar checked? It could be a sign of diabetes.

Thank you for replying I ck my sugar about once a week and it has been good it really got me wondering I thought about taking a round of antiboitits but I just hate to take them then it usually causes me to have a yeast infection.

Could it be Hidradenitis suppurativa? It has autoimmune links in recent research.

Got no real answer for you :( , other than to say my son got these before being gluten-free and after :blink:

His paediatrician has said that it's caused by a certain bacteria (staphyloccocal aureus)

Now why the bacteria gets a hold on his skin I don't know BUT it does seem to coincide with him being run down and his 'immune system' low.

At the moment he is just using an antibacterial soap on his skin - which seems to have helped some.

BTW - looked at the photos in the link - and my sons boils are no where as bad as that.

In my thirties I had boils much as you describe and even one monster boil that was really about 11 boils in one, truly gross and can't remember what it was called. I found that garlic, which is a blood purifer, really worked whenever one would start to come up. I found that if I took about 6 - 8 capsules a day that it wouldn't come to a head but would fade away.

nikki- I hope your son doesn't have this as there is no cure but I wanted to mention these are stage 3 pictures. They do not start out this bad.

I also wanted to add my mom had boils when she was younger, super painful and she had to have them lanced. They never found the cause for it and they just went away after a while. She does have gluten intolerance but doesn't follow her diet <_<

Yes I have had boils in the past in my pre-gluten free days. Very painful. I used to get them on my butt and once I had it on my shoulder. VERY painful.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
