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.

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
