if you eat something you are allergic to (i.e. gluten, egg, piece of fruit) how long until a hive is produced? i have been 'testing the waters' so to speak with eggs and fruit and initially i do not have hives but a day or so later i do. just wondering what your thoughts were!! help!!

I get sores from dairy, usually on my face or back. Usually it's cumulative over time or depending on what form and how much. For example, if I have a certain quantity of cream or milk I'll get a sore the next day but if I have only cheese but often in a week and including softer cheeses like mozzarella and softer cheddar, jack etc., not just parmesan, then I may break out at the end of the week.

Usually I break out within 10 minutes of having some sort of hidden gluten.

There are times when it's been a day or two and not sure why there is a difference other than the type of accident.

good luck

I'm wondering maybe the jelly beans. I know if I eat too many candies with citric acid, I will get blisters in my throat. I know they can be so frustrating, but a sign of some kind of allergy. I hope that you figure it out. Wendy

Hello,

I had an unexplained all over, very itchy rash 6 days after a day of vomiting - could this be allergy related? Are the two events likely to be related? I don't know what hives are - are they itchy and does it matter where they are? I was on holiday at my moms and she was having major work done in the kitchen so it was difficult to cook and make sure stuff wasn't contaminated. The family seemed to think it was a nervous rash, but that has never happened to me before.

Thank you for any help!

hi. i was going through alot of what you are currently going through. finally, my brain made a connection. i would eat gluten-free stuff that my celiac friends had no problem with, but it caused a gluten like reaction for me. started me thinking perhaps i had other food allergies.

so, i went on a food elimination diet. no dairy, gluten (obviously!), eggs, fruit that you eat more than once a week, chocolate, sugar. eat only food that is in it's natural state, no preservatives. for me, at 3 days on this diet, i was completely cured of my rashes, itching, horribly painful stomach, running nose and watery/itchy eyes.

i'm adding in food slowly (pretty much screwed up the first weeks, but now i'm doing it right). so far, bad reaction to eggs. dairy is fine (thank goodness). chocolate is a problem (ate chocolate without soy lecithan - lindt 70% cocoa is one that you can usually find pretty easy). going to try apples next, i think.

it is a slow process, but well worth it.

Thanks for replying. The idea of going on an even stricter diet is very depressing and I don't think I can cope at the moment. The rash only happened at my mom's house so I'm hoping that it won't happen again here. Since reading this thread I found another about paint and realised that my step father had been painting the kitchen over the weekend and that I came out in the all over rash the next day - could breathing paint do it? The smell was pretty foul.

you could certainly be reacting to something in the paint fumes, a chemical reaction. this makes even more sense if you have problems walking down the cleaning products aisle at store...makes you feel ill because of the smells.

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.

      Celiac symptoms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Dana0207! Another diagnostic approach would be to get biopsied for dermatitis herpetiformis which would not require an extensive exposure to gluten. But it would need to be done during an active outbreak of the rash. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it would be a definitive diagnosis. It might be tricky, however, to time the dermatology appointment with the gluten exposure and outbreak.
