Anyone Have Cold Sores And Unusual Symptoms After Being On Gluten-free Diet For 3 Weeks?

I was very happy after I started gluten-free diet and noticed marked improvement in many symptoms, however, as time (second week) went by I started getting things I've never gotten before and wonder if anyone else has had this experience. I now have a cold sore (haven't had one in many years), had skin/blister-type break-outs also, a few days with bad headache..anxiety showing it's ugly head, again (but not as bad). Does anyone know about this? Is this normal. Please reply.

am waiting for lab items to come and will have definitive description after findings

till then, self-diagnosed (my history and watching my dad) Celiac and worried in California

The skin break outs sound like DH. I will get cold sore type sores from lip products that have gluten, have you eliminated it from your toiletries, make up and such? You could have gotten CC somewhere along the line also, especially if you share your home with gluten eaters or have eaten at a restaurant.

YES! I got 2 cold sores right around the 3 - 4 week time frame of going gluten free too. I normally do not get them, but did also get them a couple weeks after I quit smoking (but that was many years ago). I think it's just our body's way of going through withdrawal. I also had the headaches.

      Gluten Free Oats

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Mushroom73!  About 8% of celiacs cross react to the oat protein avenin. That means 92% do not. A likely higher percentage probably cross react to CMP (Cow's Milk Protein) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1810502/. Corn, eggs and soy are also common cross reactors. It would be impossible to eliminate all foods that some proportion of the celiac community cross reacts to and still be able to produce meaningful products. I would also add that it is not true that companies catering to the gluten free community put oats in all their products. That is a gross exaggeration. It is true that oats are found in many gluten...

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By Mushroom73 · Posted

      Hi,  I was diagnosed over 30 years ago at the Univ. of Iowa. I also cannot tolerate oats. I find Nugo Dark bars are very good. But, the MOCHA uses real coffee beans and has caffeine. Kind bars with oats are also very good.  Really hope this helps.

      I do not understand why manufacturers think everyone that actually has Celiac can tolerate oats. They don't understand that not all of us can. they think it is fantastic and start putting this in all their products making them unusable for me.  So frustrating!!

      Comparing results with different units can be very difficult, or impossible. What are the normal ranges for each result?
