Daughter Has Rash On Both Legs, Mainly Thighs

My 3 year old daughter has recently broken out in a rash that is mainly contained to her thighs, front and back. It is red and raised but she said it does not itch or hurt. We started this diet, Gluten-free Casein-free, about a month ago and she has been strictly gluten free for a month but we did reintroduce dairy half way through the month. She has been completely off all dairy for about a week and a half now. She does not drink soy milk or eat any soy products. The rash started to appear about 6 days ago? Could this be the dairy leaving her system?

Technically, people are not suppose to "bump" their topics to the top of the page of threads. Since your post was not pinned yesterday, I thought as a moderator, that I would "bump" it to the top so that it would get the attention it would have had it been pinned.

Make sense? :blink:

Not that I know of.......? It seems to be fading but I think that every day and then it seems to flare again. It's very odd.

I almost have to look at it with direct sunlight in order to see it sometimes. You can definitely feel it though. I have not seen any blisters on her like some of the examples that have been posted.

      Yep,yep,yep, called it from experience.  I've lived through SIBO and Candida myself.  I get a different sorts of reactions to dairy, high sugar consumption, and gluten.  I react to Casein, the protein in dairy.   Try the AIP diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne designed it and is a Celiac herself.  Her book, the Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.

      Gluten Allergy

      Yes, I know.   Without sufficient Folate, Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine, the body can't get rid of high homocysteine levels.  High homocysteine levels make one restless, interferes with sleep and resembles ADHD symptoms.  High homocysteine levels occur in Celiac Disease.  Chronic high histamine levels lead to high homocysteine levels.

      You called it @knitty kitty.  I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold).  I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections.  So it seems that I am possibly dealing that issue in my gut as well. I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I'm concerned about calcium.  I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free.  However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs.  I'd like find a decent supplement for that.  Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements since they're more natural than some of the others available, but seem rather expensive.  When possible, I try supplement with food sources.  One or two Brazil nuts usually have the full RDA for selenium.  One Barbados cherry has the daily RDA for vitamin C.  I also use seaweed to help supplement iodine since I don't use iodized salt.
