New Type Of Dairy Reaction?

I've been gluten-free for about three quarters of the year, and dairy free since about September. The gluten free diet remedied lifelong amennorhea, and the dairy free diet relieved my lifelong acne. Recently I started using butter on bread, thinking that it was very low in casein and may not pose a problem. But I started to get some strange bumps around my back and shoulder. They do not look like dermatitis herpatiformis, and they do not act like pimples. They itch before even showing up that much, and then I get the bumps in clusters, but if I keep trying to scratch they hurt. They don't itch terribly. They're fairly easy to ignore but I also notice some general transient itching in other parts my body where no bombs have appeared. I never used to have this sort of reaction to dairy, but I am wondering if it could be the butter. Has anyone had *new* symptoms relating to dairy after reintroducing it? These bumps also do not resemble eczema. I don't know what they are like. Any thoughts?

Well it could be the butter.? I used to get those itchy bumps that hurt like all get out when I scratched them, on my face, but they went away when I started B-12 shots. I have pernicious anemia. I also had eczema on my eyelids that really was sore. It went away too with the shots.

Could you be deficient in a vitamin or mineral? I guess you could cut out the butter and see what happens. Sure would be nice if we had an instant answer to all our symptoms - wouldn't it!

I have had skin reactions to dairy since going gluten-free and dairy lite.

no itching though. I seem to have similar reactions to seafood, so I think it is histamine.

have you tried Ghee versus butter as another variable?

      @N00dnutt, been there, done that! Cheers!

      @trents You're right, thanks for pointing that out. On @somethinglikeolivia comment regarding potential ingesting or cross contamination; there is a product marketed in Australia as "GluteGuard" which is designed for just this scenario. It is not a defence for and is not recommended for use by full-blown celiac disease but, it helps those with GI. I'll be reading slower in future so I don't skim over the subject matter. Cheers.

      @Knitty_Kitty Noted with appreciation.

      @N00dnutt, as OP explained earlier, she had a gastroscopy done earlier while she had been eating plenty of gluten for months. It was negative despite strong positive antibody scores.

      The best way to determine positively is to undergo a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinologist will assess the condition of your "Villi". These tenticles are what extract the nutrient from what we ingest. The Protein in Gluten is like acid to these tenticles.
