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:

Thanks!

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.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Unless gluten exposure is happening on a regular basis, it is doubtful that blood antibodies would show up elevated in testing. It takes time for them to build up to detectable levels.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      HI Nancy, In your first post, you said that you were diagnosed by biopsy and blood test - this is what I was referring to: the blood test is for antibodies that are made during active disease. After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If...

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source. If it seems similar to your experience, you could raise this question with your Dr. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/morgellons-disease

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If you are reacting to foods that don't contain gluten, you may be reacting to something else. Alternatively, a condition called SIBO is common in people with coeliac disease, where there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can be tested for with a simple breath test. The main treatment is with a course of antibiotic. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.
