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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      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

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "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! 🫶
