Waterproof Tape

I used the search function on here first, but just wanted to see if anyone has experienced this and/or if it may be gluten-related...

Went to the chiro, and he gave me some waterproof tape to use (my patella moves around when I fall during roller derby, so this is an interim fix while a patella band is on order).

I was careful to change the tape often (had it on for a few days), but after I took it off last time, I noticed the area beginning to ITCH like crazy. Rolled my jeans up a couple of hours later, and there are bright red blistery stripes where the tape was.

I have gotten something that looks like dh on my feet and hands in the past (as an adult, most recently the last time I had gluten it cropped up), but with no itch factor. Also had strange scalp conditions as well with no definite diagnosis, almost like cradle cap but this was as a child/adolescent. I have self-diagnosed as gluten intolerant, not sure about full-blown celiac.

Any thoughts?

Thanks :)

Do you happen to have a problem with latex? I'm asking because my son had the same thing happen with bandages and broke out with hives from a bath mat.

No - other than gluten and penicillin, no other issues known.

reactions to adheisve are QUITE common and may not indicate anything other than the fact that your skin was irritated. if the area expands beyond the tape, then it is more concerning. if it goes away over a day or two with the tape off, you may just need to minimize how often you use the tape. (make sure to wash well with soap and water, and you may have to find specific adhesive remover if it leaves bits of adhesive behind on your skin.)

I have problems with many types of adhesive tape. Perhaps until the knee brace you have ordered comes in an ace wrap or OTC knee support band might help. My knees dislocate because of a hypermobility syndrome and I have found good supports in sports supply shops.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
