Hives Around Eyes And Pain In Throat!


Tiff

Recommended Posts

Tiff Apprentice

Hello Everyone,

I am fairly new to this forum and I was just wondering if anyone else has symptoms of hives. I get hives around my eyes every couple of days. Sometimes there along my jaw line. There are usually only one or two at a time, and they itch like crazy.

I have been gluten free for 3 weeks now, and I have not eaten corn soy or dairy products for a few days now. But I keep getting these damn hives. I also have this pain in my throat and was just wondering if anyone has heard of possible hives in the throat. I don't know for sure if they are hives in my throat but it almost feels like I have a canker sore in my throat. It's deep and on the back of my tongue, really far back. I have never had this problem before and I seem to have alot of crazy symptoms going on periodically. They seem to come and go. And the symtpoms never come at one time. They sort of show up and in the next few days there gone and then something else happens to me.

If you could offer some advice that would be wonderful!

Thanks

TIFF :D

In the upper left corner in the search box, type in "rash" and "hives" and see what comes up from previous posts - there is A LOT on this subject as a rash is common.

Luckily your question might be answered somewhere already.

Good luck :)

Hi Tiff,

I'm honestly not following you around... I just keep having answers to some of your questions!

For some reason (and I don't know exactly why) a signficant number of people diagnosed with chronic urticaria (hives) also have Hashimoto's disease.

Hives CAN be internal. And by definition they "come and go" (they shouldn't last more than 24 hours). The feeling in your throat could be hives if it's itchy/sore. Otherwise... if it feels more like you have a lump in your throat... it could just be from the Hashimoto's.

Thank you for the advice "Mother of Jibril". I am very greatful for all of your advice. I'm just trying to get as much info as possible to figure out what is going on with me.

And it seems as if you always have great advice for me. Thank you so much!! Actually, I'm very bummed because I have a 19 month old daughter and my husband and I were planning on

trying for another baby this July. Unfortunately, I have been sick since January and I am on a mission to get better!!! I just want to get to the bottom of this before I get pregnant.

I have done alot of reading about Celiac Disease and infertility and I am really scared. If we are unable to have another child because of my health I would at least like to be able to do things

with my daughter. Some days I'm so exhauseted it's truly hard for me to get from one room to the next. And when I do feel good I seem to get short of breathe quickly.

It seems like I'm fighting an endless battle. I know autoimmune diseases are hard to diagnose, but I am confident that one day I will be back to my old self again.

Thank you again,

TIFF :D

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
