Dyshidrotic Eczema

Greetings,

I have been diagnosed with dyshidrotic eczema in the past and have had it on my feet on and off for the last 8 years. I stumbled upon celiac's disease as a possible cause. In the last two years it has spread to my knees and elbows. It is definitely worse in the summer and is a little more bearable in the winter. Sometimes it mostly clears up and I can only find one or two areas. I tried being mostly gluten free for about a week and it seems to be clearing up on my feet. However I decided to go back on gluten to go ahead and try to have it diagnosed so that I can know for sure. I have been back on gluten for about 2 days now and my feet still seem to be doing well. Do you have to be on gluten again for a while in order for the symptoms to return? The eczema is the only symptom I appear to have (if it's even related to celiac's at all...) Has anyone else ever experienced these symptoms? I would love to hear any thoughts that people might have. Thanks so much!

I'm pretty sure this is the rash I had on my knees 2 years ago. It went away eventually with medicated cream, but I've discovered that i'm gluten intolerant or a celiac. (I haven't had any tests, but I'm positive I am.)

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
