Itchy Little Buggers

Hola! I've had eczema my whole life, since I was a baby and I would say in the last couple years I would get this other rash. It would be random little bumps that were hard but kind of looked like a pimple. There aren't that many when I get them, but they are extremely itchy. I catch myself itching them and then the next day I'd get a couple more. When I get them, they are on my chest, abs, legs and arms. It's never gotten worse than that and they go away within days. I was just wondering if anyone has had something like that or may know what it would be. I did go to the doctor once and she told me that it could be anything and didn't answer my question...could be true I guess. But rashes usually aren't because something going right...lol.

Here is what my kids bumps are like. My diagnosed gluten daughter got some on her face and near her lips. They were not red. Just annoying and ugly if someone saw them. Then they went away. My other daughter has had bumps for 3 years on her arms. She scratched them, then they bled, scabbed, got scratched, scabs fell off on left scars. They were bumps that looked like they had fluid but nothing came out. They do not look like DH at all. The closet thing I could find was "chicken skin"- keratosis pilaris. Find some pics on it and see if it looks like yours. I really believe its caused from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
