Rash On My Finger

I was accidentally glutened on Wednesday night. I started getting acne on my face on Friday, which I know is from the gluten. Now on Sunday my right pinky is breaking out in little itchy water blisters. Again. It itches, I scratch, then it takes a week or more for the skin to heal. This happens a few days after I get glutened but it's relatively new. It didn't start until I went gluten-light a couple of months ago, and now I'm noticing it happens a few days after I get glutened now that I"m 100% gluten-free. It's even stumped my Naturopath. Is this related? Anyone have something similar happen? What can I do? Is 4 days a normal time period for this to happen? Could it be DH and should I call my Dr. and get a biopsy to test for celiac? Oh wouldn't it be nice to have a quick easy test that could show I really am gluten intolerant. *sigh*

This used to happen to me all the time all over my fingers when I worked at summer camp back in the early '90's. I thought it was my dishwashing gloves, but come to think of it, we ate nothing but spaghetti and brownies all summer. The kind of brownies that expanded in your stomach after eating them. Maybe that was gluten too?

Thanks for your input!

I get a rash exactly like that on the fingers of my right hand a few days after I eat any of my allergic foods (gluten, dairy, or soy). It's definitely worst with gluten, and I had it for years before I finally figured out what was causing it. I've always thought it was really strange that it was just on one hand, but I've heard several other people on this board describe something similar. Go figure!

I had this for months before I was diagnosed. The itchy water blisters on the fingers of one hand--after a while I also got them on the inside of my forearm. It hasn't happened since I've been gluten-free, except once. (in over 3 years)

I've been getting itchy little blisters on my hands too. I don't remember that happening before I stopped eating gluten, but then... I was ignoring a lot of things about my body <_<

I saw a dermatologist on Wednesday and she did a biopsy for DH. You could also look up "keratosis pilaris" and "dyshidrotic eczema." All of these seem to be caused by food intolerances.

mine is caused by wheat and was one of my symptoms as a preteen(but on my foot) and then when my symptoms worsened again, it was one of my first and worst symptoms. horrible, it ate my hand up.

My friend gets it from corn though and my dr says it is definately allergy related.

Have any of you been tested for IGE allergies? I never have been but wonder if I have a wheat allergy too on top of being gluten intolerant or if it is just because wheat has the most.

A skin test was the first thing I did before trying the gluten-free diet! Nothing showed up.

It's not very expensive... definitely worth doing if your rash comes on quickly. Mine takes at least a day to show up.

I have--nothing came up except dust mites and cats. No foods at all, including wheat.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference.  Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells.  I take it myself.   Tryptophan will help heal the intestines.  Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner.  I take mine with magnesium before bedtime.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Known1 · Posted

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago.  As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins.  I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items.  Both were purchased from Amazon. 1.  Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2.  Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin with Bromelain Vitamin C and Zinc Between those two, I am ingesting 2000 IU of vitamin D per day. Best of luck, Known1

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.
