Itching!

I am new at the gluten free diet, having been diagnosed with celiacs disease about a month ago. I have read that many people with celiacs disease also have a problem with milk. I am wondering if anyone could give me some insite or has had the same problem as me. Before being diagnosed with celiacs disease, I had rashes and my body itched all over all the time. I went on a gluten free/lactose free diet. The itches and rash disappeared. I started drinking milk again and a week later I am having the same problem with the itching and rashes. Does anyone know if milk can do that? Does anyone else have this issue? Or would the itching and rashes possibly be from something else?

Hi,

I know what you mean to itching all the time.. I am the same way... I was diagnosied about 6 weeks ago with Celiac...

Two years ago is when I had DH but at that time I did not know what it was other then an allergic reaction... It happened on my right knee while at work and boy did it burn, itch and sting all together... I had big welts on my knee so I made a dr appt right away and got off work early...

Even though I have been gluten free for about 6 weeks I am still tired all time and I still itch but without the big welts... I do have small rashes on my shoulders and parts of my arms...

Actually I don't remember itching this bad before I went Gluten free...

I'm like you and am not sure of what or why...

Sorry as for milk I'm not sure since I am fairly new like you but I would not put it past the milk to make you itch since you already have Celiac... There are a lot of blogs out there that can give you all kinds of info... You can also go to ask.com and see if you can find out...

Hope this helps

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
