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 <_<

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
