i have been battling this for about 2 years now; all of a sudden i woke up covered in small itchy hives from the waist down. my butt, thighs, CALVES, covered. i had constipation (for years - i'm talking for the last 10 i only go to the bathroom 1x a week). started to take some laxatives as per my doc, and my derm put me on antibiotics for acne.

WELL

went off the antibiotics, stopped laxatives...

all hell has broken lose. had an endoscopy and doc said i looked 'fine.' no evidence of celiac. i went gluten free and my hives went away. got pregnant, was able to eat whatever i wanted and life was great. now 11 months, post partum, it's all back. the bloating, the hives, the constipation. in fact the only time in my life i was ever 'regular' was when i was prego, lol!

ANY advice? i had blood work done (iga, igg?) and everything came back negative.

i dont want to give up hope.

ANY advice?

Are you on or off gluten? If you are on I suggest you go off :) It is quite possible to be non-celiac gluten intolerant; in fact for every celiac it is estimated by Dr. Rodney Ford that there are two to three gluten intolerants. It is possible that the hormonal changes of pregnancy gave you a "temporary vacation" from your gluten problems, just as for some people they precipitate celiac disease.

question. i stopped eating wheat for 2 days. tonight i had wheat; 3 hours ago and now i have new hives. would it happen like that? if taking it out for only 2 days then eating it again? would it cause new hives on my thighs?

I would think the way to find out is to stop eating it altogether :) Potatoes give me hives and I don't eat them :) For me it takes bit longer, about 4-6 hours.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
