Rash On Face While Pregnant?

My 4 year old son was diagnosed with celiac disease in September and I may have it or I may be a carrier. I am currently 6 months preg and I have a red peeling, dry, itchy rash on my chin and under my nose. Does this have anything to do with celiac disease? I can't be tested further until after I deliver this baby. The interesting thing is that I had the rash while I was preg with my son, then it went away, I didn't have it with my daughter who is currently celiac disease negative but now I have it again? Any thoughts out there????

"Melasma or chloasma" is known as the mask of pregnancy. This is somewhat common. I don't think this is an "itchy rash" though- it's said to be pigment darkening- not red itchy.

Is the rash only on your face or on other parts of your body?

There are so many causes of rashes. Are you eating something more than usual during your pregnancy- or is there a face cream that you are using that could be the culprit?

Hmm. not much to offer from me. sorry.

I am 29 and preg for the 8th time... two healthy babies by age 21 and then misscarage after misscarage. Three years ago diagnosed with celiac and I have been gluten free since. I am now 32 weeks pregnant. My son is celiac as is my mom.

With this pregnancy I have the same type of rash as your talking about. I can control it with hydrocortisone 1% cream (doc recomended)-

My mother also had the same rash with several of her 5 babies- some of us have celiac and some don't but then it could still manifest itself as my siblings get older.

talk with your doc before putting anything on your face but it seems to be helping a ton!!!

I'm the only one in my family who's been tested celiac yet. But my mom recently told me that when she was carrying me she had a strange, itchy, angry rash EXACTLY as you have described, all over her abdomen and thighs. She only had it with me. Because of my genetic testing I DO know that she has at least one celiac or gluten intolerant gene because I have two. Not sure if this is relevant, but I thought it was interesting when she told me.

That's interesting to hear! My SIL had horrible PUPP on her abdomen that spread to her limbs. She was so itchy and uncomfortable for the last trimester because of it. Her baby daughter has had a lot of problems with dairy and oats (apparently she's outgrown both of those allergies since?!) and now, at 2 years old, she is always sick, and looks sickly and has problems with what is either eczema or fungus. Her father (my brother) has had numerous problems with GI health and other illnesses...I know he needs to be tested for celiac...and I bet his daughter needs to too! Alas, everyone is waiting to see what my test results reveal before proceeding down the path of testing.

Anyway, I do wonder if SIL's PUPP has anything to do with her daughter's health issues?

Even more interesting. I ended up with dairy allergies besides the gluten too. I was REALLY allergic to my milk formula and vomited every feeding. But back in those days, they didn't do anything about it.

pbeyers, are you presently eating gluten yourself?? I wonder if it would be useful to stop gluten for the remainder of your pregnancy in case it has anything to do with the rash. I'm not a doctor and you'd definitely want to consult him/her on this, but I don't see how it would be harmful in any way. You never know?

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases...

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast. All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour). Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat...

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
