I had 2 this morning and have been itching all day long. I feel like I have bugs crawling under my skin. What the heck is this could I be alergic to eggs. I noticed my sores are extra itchy. Maybe the iodine in the eggs is there enough iodine in these types of eggs to make my sores worse and me itchy??

Maybe. That's why they tell you to use egg whites. Some cage-free eggs intentionally have some nutrients boosted through feed.

I bought a carton of egg whites and that's what I'm using for a while.

Egg yolks are high in iodine. If I remember correctly I looked at the nutrient info on a box of Eggland's Best eggs and one egg had about 50 mcg of iodine which is a pretty big hit all at once.

Oh my god, I never understood why my DH reacted to eggs....just figured I was also allergic to egg.

The iodine content makes sense. Thanks you guys!

And I had 2 eggs.I wont do that again. I have been sratchin and squirming all day. I know my coworkers think I'm nuts. God this is awful, I can't imagine having this before cortisone cream. Some on my back started welting up. I dug at both my upper arms and elbows today so bad I was all scratched up, that looks real good over active lesions and scars. I've been a hot mess all day. Sigh! :(

You need ice packs, pronto!

And I know you don't want to hear this but corticosteroids actually stopped my DH from healing (best as I could tell). Everyone is different.

Well that explains why I have them so long it does seam like at times it take these forever to go away. I took one of my husbands Hydroxyzines last night at best it put my lights out. I am looking forward to Monday that's when I go to the Derm there has to be something they can give me.

Yes, Dapsone but it's pretty evil stuff so you may reconsider.

I think the corticosteroids kept the rash knocked down a bit (didn't have as weepy blisters as I did off it) but it never went away while using it. Got off them, the rash blew up (be prepared and do it on a Friday) but when it went down it went down further and healed like never before.

Dermatologists seem to think corticosteroids are the holy grail so be prepared for pushback, I'd had very negative reactions to injected corticosteroids so mine wasn't surprised it was giving me a negative reaction.

Well I guess I am going to be my worst enemy. I figured if I just ate a regular egg instead of the egg-lands best eggs with all the stuff in them I would be ok just 1 is all I ate last night. Well between the eggs on Wednesday the potato salad I made with egg in it and 1 egg last night I woke up to a nice blister just below my bottom and one on the side of my thigh, not meaning to early this morning when I woke up the one on my backside was itching and not realizing it was a blister I scratched and well we know what happened then and they have been hurting all day. sigh :( I'm miserable.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      I just thought I'd update this post. My father has had some issues with his heart rythym and we found giving him an electrolyte drink plus a vitamin D supplement with extra calcium containing food (yoghurt) made a big difference, and very quickly.

      The Kiss of Death: How My Romantic Life Suffered after being Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Bravely spoken. My son was only 2 years old when diagnosed, and certainly felt challenged by being different, and had behavior issues. A pediatrician who had treated many celiac kids once remarked at a seminar that even with behavior challenges in their youth, the celiac kids grew up by college age with great resources inside themselves for handling peer...

My own problems with ectopic heartbeats started up again with warmer weather so I thought I'd take a leaf out of his book, and now, for the second time, after just one Phizz Electrolyte Drink, and a dose of vitamin D (Fultium D 800 x 4) with a milkshake, my ectopics disappeared within the hour.   Probably the Phizz drink rather than the D with calcium, but maybe it all helped?  Just mentioning this in case anyone is looking for answers.

Moderately raised levels can be caused by other conditions as well as coeliac disease. Accuracy of the No-Biopsy Approach for the Diagnosis of Celiac Disease in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis It is possible to have latent or early stage coeliac disease without histological changes visible by microscope. As has been suggest in this thread, if the repeat test comes up negative and serology is high, request an HLA genetic test from your specialist. Only 40 % of the population carries an HLA gene variant enabling the development of coeliac disease - if you test negative for this, it is quite unlikely that you have coeliac disease.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips. Dr Fuhrman (Eat to Live) said find foods that are friendly to you to be friends with.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.
