Dermatitis And Celiac

My daughter developed a rash on her face in January, after several prescription creams, and and oral antibiotic later it still had not gone away. We just went to a dermatologist last week who diagnosed her with perioral dermatitis. Has anyone heard of this type of dermatitis and celiac being tied together? I know that herpatiforma dermatitis is linked...

mmmh, honestly I do believe that she has a form of Dermatitis herpetiformis rather then what he diagnosed her! While DH rarely starts under the age of 20 , it is possible that children develope it, where as in the perioral dermatitis is generally something that hits adult women! My guess is, sice the two rashes look similar and symptoms as well that she rather has HD than PD. Make sure all her creams are glutenfree, often its an glutenous ingredient that sets it off! Once your daughter has been glutenfree for a good long while, at least 6 month- and her intestines have pretty good recouperated, she'll probably less sensitive to reacting with the skin. eitherway it is a good idea to generally use only glutenfree lotions, creams and toothpastes for her! for example oatmealcreams and bathfoams ect. are a NO! while other people feel better with a good oatmealbath when they have a rash, she'll possibly feel a million times worse!

Rashes are caused by something.

If it's not from soaps or creams than it's from the diet and doesn't necessarily have to be from gluten. A food diary is a great idea because the rash could be triggered a day or two before it exibits. The most common triggers besides gluten are: dairy, corn, soy, eggs, nightshades and nuts.

She is also small for her age as well, she'll be 2 Saturday, and weighs only 25 lbs. We are forever getting comments about her tiny size. She can weight 12 month clothing still. She's never had digestive problems, but that's not always true even if she may still have celiac. My husband's uncle (his mom's brother) and his son both have celiac, and my husband's brother's son also was recently diagnosed. We do plan on having my daughter tested within the next month or so. I also read that perioral dermatitis was something women in their twenties got as well, not toddlers. We had been to her pediatrician 3 times, before she referred us to a dermatologist. We were told it was a strep infection first, but the dermatologist said that wasn't the case. She has had a bit of ezcema on her back and arms since she was around a year old, but it's not too bad. I also read something about children with celiac, having a 'pot' belly appearance, and she definitely has that as well. For being so small, her belly is the only thing that sticks out on her, maybe all toddlers are built this way? Thanks for your comments.

      Untreated celiac

      Bananas are rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc and B vitamins.  One of the first successful treatments for Celiac Disease used banana as the main carbohdrate energy source. quick, easily digestible energy, easier on sensitive stomachs and offer more potassium, which can help replenish electrolytes lost through sweat.”   I clean and separate the banana from the bunch and store in the refrigerator.  The outside peel may turn color, even black, but the banana inside does not get overripe so they can last a long time.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Treen · Posted

      I only intend to do the blood screen. I also fully intend to remove gluten from my diet whether the test is positive or negative.  I’d just like to know, even if it’s inconclusive, if Celiac might be the cause my life-long gastrointestinal distress. If the test is positive, I’ll assume that I probably have Celiac, like my sister. If it’s negative, I’ll assume that I may have a gluten intolerance/allergy — or not.  My quest will end there. My belly problems don’t render my life insufferable. My sister’s diagnosis (positive blood and biopsy) just made me curious whether I have Celiac, too. Either way, I’m done with gluten as soon as I give the blood sample on Wednesday 👍🏼

      Keep in mind that a celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps: 1. blood antibody testing and 2. if there are positive antibody test scores, an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining. You have only mentioned the first in your strategizing.

      There are about 8 grams of protein in an egg and also in a cup of milk. About 90 calories in an egg and around 100 to 120 calories in a cup of milk, depending on the fat content. To increase your calorie intake with food items that are also nutritionally dense, concentrate on seeds and nuts. They are high in fat content, so lots of calories, but also rich in vitamins and minerals. They are a moderately good source of protein as well. Black molasses is a good source of calories but not such a good source of vitamins and minerals so don't go overboard on it. It is somewhat better than table sugar from a nutritional standpoint, however. Spirilunia and moringa powder I am not familiar with but I doubt there is much calorie value there and it is refined so I doubt that they would be a great source of vitamins.
