Do You Have To Eat Gluten

If I take dd (7) to the dermatologist, does it matter if she goes gluten free before we go? Her celiac panel came back negative but her doc said to go gluten free and see if it helps her rash/bumps. She's got major adhd tendencies and can probably benefit from gluten free anyway. If I take her off gluten, do you think that will make a difference to the skin biopsy around her leisons?

Thanks.

She will need to have active lesions for the doctor to be able to do the biopsy. I would not take her off of gluten until after testing is done.

Thanks! The doc today says it's molluscum and did not perform a biopsy. So far, it seems she is negative to gluten intolerance and celiac. So how come I'm upset about that? I guess I was hoping this was the answer to all her issues and now I feel lost and back to square one. Now I need to decide whether to take her off gluten for a trial anyway since I"m convinced that she does have trouble with it.

Go gluten free and see what happens. Get the book "the gluten connection" by dr. sheri leiberman. The best thing to do is the SCD diet. Google it on this forum and you will find good info on it. ADHD is very much connected to diet, especially gluten.. Lots of negative blood panels occur. ALL MY BLOOD tests have been negative. Do a saliva swab test, go to the University of Chicago Celiac Center website and you will find out how to get it. It is very easy and it doesn't matter if you are actively on gluten or not, it is a genetic marker test. VERY HELPFUL.

hope that helps

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility
