Has anyone else had this? It does not itch but the redness on feet, thighs, knees eventully subsides. The redness on nose, face, hands just fades a little but is always there.

I don't have this problem, but maybe you're using soap that contains gluten? It might be irritating your skin. Or maybe you're just using really hot water that's drying out your skin in the winter months.

OOHHHHH Me ME ME !!

I don't have it on my feet or knees but on my face, upper chest, and neck. Just a red rash sometimes raised usually just flat, itchy or not, comes and goes. I thought for years that it was due to my hair products or special body soaps as it seemed to correlate to using a new product. Then it seemed to happen whenever i would get really sick with a fever. THen it happened after being gluten free dairy free for about 2 weeks after I ate a gluten-free cheese supreme pizza (pizza has to have cheese!). I thought we were perhaps just lactose intolerant and cheese on my pizza would maybe upset my tummy but be worth the taste of real cheese. My dear hubby made the connection between the rash and the gluten-free cheese pizza I had the night before the rash appeared. I made the connection that every time I am sick, I live on cereal and milk (normally don't do a lot of dairy) . Now we are guessing that just perhaps it is a problem with dairy. I'm staying off of dairy at least until the end of the month when the kids have pizza event at church and then I will try the dairy and see if the rash comes back.

Any correlation to dairy???

It seems to be only related to showering or heat. It is not raised and does not itch. It is like the redness you get after having crossed your legs and there is a red mark left form the pressure.

I too have a facial red rash around my nose and chin. I've had it for over 2 years now. It's mostly a flushing that will get darker with red wine and big temperature changes. It also doesn't itch. I think it may be Rosacea which is connected to Celiac. I've only been gluten free for a little over a month but I'm hoping as time goes on it will get better. Mine is only on my face but my daughter will get the redness on her chest after a hot shower that usually fades within an hour. Maybe others can give you more info.

Does it usually go away after 10-20 minutes? I get that, always have. I always thought it was normal, lol.

It has only happened to me for the last year and a half after I got sick.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
