Confused About Gluten Related Rash


gluten Tag

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! This is my first post. :rolleyes:

I just recently went gluten-free and cannot believe the difference in how I feel. Seriously, I haven't felt well for like...20 years.

Problem: For about two years I have had this persistent and itchy rash. I don't know if it's DH or not though as it only occurs on my upper arms, back, and under my chin and near my ears. It is SO itchy! It starts like a water blister and then erupts about a day or two later at which point it's painful.

I wasn't sure if the rash was related to gluten but it has improved since going gluten-free. I got glutened on Tgiving and it has returned with a vengence. I don't get a ton of it but what I do get is itchy itchy and painful.

Thoughts? <_<

That's exactly what I get with gluten. It tooks weeks to clear up but once it did I don't get it now unless I have an ongoing secret gluten spy. I have to eat that product repeatedly to have the rash come out. If I see that rash, I need to start investigating where it came from, 'cause it's something I'm ingesting every day. This spring I had it from the coffee syrups I used, from the caramel coloring. They shouldn't have bothered me but the rash doesn't lie! Stopped the syrup, no more rash.

So say good bye to itch and bumps, eventually, and congrats on feeling 20 years younger!

Thanks so much for your reply. I hope it goes away...kinda miserable. ;)

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.
