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.

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

      Gluten free beer ?

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
