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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
