Can't Eat Udi's Bread! Have A Rash!

Well, I knew it. Ate 1 piece of Udi's bread 30 minutes ago. I now have a rash on the side of my neck. Not only does it itch, but it actually hurts. First time a rash has ever hurt on me. First time i've had a rash in close to 20 years infact. But I also have a rash on the back of my right shoulder and under my left breast. On top of that I feel like i'm running a fever. I am hot as all get out. As i'm typing this the palm of my right hand is starting to itch, my ring finger on my left hand and my left ankle. This is ridiculous.

As far as I can tell that's all that's happening at the moment. I'm gonna take some l-glutamine and hope that helps.

Can anyone think of anything else that might help?

I'm sorry I can't help with the solution, but I can help with the diagnosis - potato starch! I wouldn't touch Udi's for that reason. Dh loves it though :) . Uggh. I'm so sorry you're suffering like that.

It might not be the potato starch. It could just as well be the tapioca starch. I know another poster on here has allergic reactions to tapioca, and personally, I can't eat a lot of it- it gives me an unpleasant GI reaction (although less severe now that my gut has healed).

As for what might help- maybe an anti-histamine, either ingested or topical (on the rash) and/or something like Tylenol to help with the inflammation.

txplowgirl already said she was nightshade free, and Udi's has potato starch. The reason I said that is that she and I are a lot alike with our arthritis and nightshade intolerance and itchy rashes. I thought I was nightshade free (and was still itching) until I realized I was still eating bread with potato starch in it. Once I cut that out the itching went away (for the first time in two years!)

Thanks guys, I got some Benadryl last night and it hasn't phased it any at all. It has localised around my neck and shoulders. Looks like I have alligator skin. Lol, the rash isn't red now, just a bunch of bumps. They still itch and hurt though.

I-Geek, I can tolerate tapioca starch. Thanks though.

Mushroom, you're right, I think it's the potato starch too. I thought I would give it a try. you know the old saying. I didn't think a little bit could hurt. Boy, did I get a surprise. Lol.

No tummy problems, no fatigue except for not sleeping real well because of being uncomfortable. Took some L-Glutamine, that seemed to help some plus putting hydrocortizone cream on it also. Now, I just got to wait it out.

That will never happen again, or at least I hope not.

You might try taking an anti-histamine.

I can't eat Udi's because they appear to use sunflower oil in everything so I've never tried it. I'm highly allergic to anything sunflower.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
