Did Anyone Have A Red Nose?

Hi,

I have a symptoms question - has anyone had a red nose as a celiac symptom. Not crayola red, just a fair-skinned, got-some-sun red that doesn't match the rest of your complexion? I had sort of noticed, because I would even out my complexion with makeup, but I never thought about it as a symptom.

But today - my nose is the same colour as the rest of my face! My whole face (except my undereye circles) is the same color, much more evenly than before. It's either gluten-free or the vitamins I'm getting by IV.

I'm curious if anybody else had this happen, and if anybody had thoughts on why celiac would turn my nose red in the 1st place!?

thanks,

grey

I don't know whether it's a symptom of celiac or not, but I have had a red rash on the sides of my face in front of my ears and another patch at the top of my chest/bottom of my neck for years. I had to look in the mirror after your post and mine have faded alot since going gluten-free too!

Another thing I have noticed is that my whole face would flush red except for my eye sockets which looked totally pale in comparison...you could see a definite line like I had worn those tanning goggles or something. I haven't had that happen either.

My husband had red rash on face near ears and on chest and scalp before going gluten-free. His face coloring was gray and pasty before gluten-free. Now coloring is better and rash is a memory & gone.

i've had a very red and rosey complextion my entire life. My co-worker noticed about a month after going gluten free that my face is much better looking and even toned. It's still pretty unevem, but I have bad ezcema and very sensitive skin. When I eat something the irritates me, (gluten, soy, dairy) my face flairs up. Even my co-worker looks at me and says "you got glutened didn't you"!

I have noticed on certain days that my face especially on the nose that my face is red. I thought wow I didn't think I was out in the sun that much today. Just like today, it was more cloudy than sunshine and when I was giving my gran daughter a bath I noticed in the mirror that my nose was red. I have noticed it more since going gluten free, but never put the two together. Now it makes me think. I will have to add it to a list of questions for the doctor.

rosacea also comes to mind - pink/redness on nose and face that comes and goes...

According to book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" this condition is seen alongside vitamin deficiences, stress, infection. Aggravators are: spicy foods, sunlight, cosmetics, alcohol, hot liquids, extremes of temperature & skin care products containing alcohol.

Perhaps celiac triggers rosacea in some individuals?

I totally get a red nose. It comes and goes. Sometimes it gets red right next to my nose too. I haven't figured out what triggers it.

OMG, YES! Exactly as you stated it. I have noticed an improvement and just checked in the mirror again to confirm!

Now if we could just get rid of those undereye circles <_<

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      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!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      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
