Itchy

I have no idea if this is gluten related and I don't see how it could be but who knows. If I get any its pure accident/cc'd kind of thing. Regardless I can't deal with this, its driving me crazy...

I get an "itch" on my neck then my nose then my back then my arm then my tummy then my head then my leg and so on. Its a tingle and sometimes it just a tickle, it isn't for the most party itchy like a bug bite. Sometimes it is an all out itch and sometimes its from my hair or my shirt touching me.

Once it starts it keeps going. Its been going on for the last hour but I am going to try and go to sleep and I probably will be able to. It might come back in the morning or not until noon etc..

Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how to stop it?

TIA

I have the itchy problem also. 3 years ago I had an overall rash before glutten free, Now I mainly get it in my ears and right under my hairline on the back of my neck. I did eat an organic dark chocolate bar (Hershey) - maybe that was it.

I have noticed stress, dairy and sweets seem to trigger this. The itchy ears is the most miserable part. It seems to be worse at bedtime.

I am an itchy person too. Last winter I had started to eat wheat again some before I went totally gluten free. I itched constantly. It was horrible. But after going off gluten I am soooo much better. I do also itch if I eat too much sugar. I noticed that a long time ago. With sugar it would be on the inside of my thighs, But with gluten it would be my buttocks, lower back, sides, and armpits. My breasts and neck sometimes too.

EXACTLY what I was looking for to describe it, the traveling itchies! No rash either.

I realized today that I had been glutened somehow over the last day or so. The traveling itchies must have been a reaction. Now I just have to figure out where it came from (sometimes I think that is impossible and just move on to the next day!).

If I eat wheat in certain forms I get itchy rashes, like eczema.

I've also noticed that if I don't take a shower each night before bed,

it's like my skin gets itchy & tingly, not sure why. I could have very

well taken a shower that morning, but if I don't take one at night

I normally get this. Drives me nuts. Not sure if its my skin needing

to cool off, or what.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
