Rash Not Dh

Anyone have a rash that comes up after eating gluten that is not DH? I have had this rash on my face since I was 18 , I used to take tetracycline for it. About two days after I ate some gluten it came up in 3 different patches on my face. I am starting to wonder if the two are related. Anyone else ever heard of this? :huh:

Yes, gluten can cause rashes other than DH in people who are gluten intolerant. I used to get psoriasis from gluten, and eczema on my hands and legs from gluten.

But I also get large pus-filled pimples on my face from peppers, and my daughter and several of my grandchildren get horrible eczema from dairy.

Any food you are intolerant to can cause skin problems.

are you maybe talking about acne rosecea? & yes, mine went away once gluten-free & yes I used to take an anti-biotic for it.

That sounds like what I get on my face the clear puss filled little pimple like things. I had a martini the other night and woke up with a small patch on my face. It dawned on me that the alcohol might have been derived from grains and I didn't bother to check it.

I am careful about never eating any gluten but I try not to be overly careful because for one I don't get as sick as most people do with celiac. Plus it's to inconvenient to be extremely vigalent all the time. I did go to a dermatologist for the rash many years ago I think he said it was dermatitis? I'm not sure, I am thinking it is set off by gluten.

Thanks for the responses :)

Is the rash surrounded with redness? My daughter has had rosy rashy cheeks for years. We just learned she cannot have gluten and she has been gluten-free for about a month. No improvement though! She also has a chronic case of psorasis all over her body. Poor kid.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
