How common is it people with Celiac disease who have adult acne to find that it clears up when they switch to a gluten free diet?

Interesting question. I did go through the adult acne bit in my 40's. I just went gluten free the beginning of the year. Now that you mention it, I haven't been having that problem.

I have an old friend who had perfect skin as a teenager and then developed crohn's disease (that's the diagnosis at least, she didn't think she'd been evaluated for celiac disease) and last time I saw her she was really bad adult acne. I wonder if these digestive issues are related to our hormones/endocrine systems in a way that can cause acne.

Anyways... I would be beyond thrilled if getting rid of my acne ended up being one of the bonuses of not eating gluten. (Getting rid of the fatigue, digestive problems, and mood issues would be the main benefits. As well as helping my family who all suffer from some of the main symptoms of Celiac Disease.)

My cousin's acne cleared up on a gluten-free diet it was an unexpected bonus, she now looks like the Dove lady. In addition My uncle (her father) and my brother have had other skin problems clear up on a gluten-free diet. :)

      Question about biopsy

      By somethinglikeolivia · Posted

      When I underwent a scope three years ago, the GI told me I was negative for celiac because there was no intestinal damage (in spite of multiple strong positive labs). I went back to look at my biopsy report out of curiosity, and found this note: “Localized mild nodular mucosa was found in the duodenal bulb. Duodenum otherwise normal.” The pathology from this scope was negative. Does anyone have any insight into mild modular mucosa and what that could indicate or be a precursor to? I’ve read it can be a sign of celiac or other gut issues like h. Pylori, etc.  Thanks in advance!

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      Positive TTG antibody and negative EMA antibody

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.
