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 <_<

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
