Can Gluten Cause Skin Issues Besides Dh?

This has probably been asked a million times already but...

I used to get small, pinpoint, raised red spot on my thighs and inner knees (mainly, but I sometimes found them on my arms or lower legs). Once in awhile they itched, but I usually couldn't feel them at all. I've been gluten-free for about 7 weeks now and around week 3 or 4 I noticed that I was no longer getting these red spots on my skin. I still have a few that are older/fainter (healing), but still nothing new. This wasn't major to begin with (the spots were sporadic/never more than a few at a time, and it wasn't DH, I'm sure of that), but just wondering if gluten can cause skin issues other than DH?

That is how my DH starts, with pinpoint raised tiny blisters.

I'm pretty sure mine wasn't DH though because it never progressed to anything worse. I'd just get a few red spots on my legs and then they would gradually heal and disappear, followed by more of course. I just found it interesting that gluten-free seems to have cleared them and I never really attributed them to something in my diet (before going gluten-free)...

Check out pictures of the various types of psoriasis. That is what I have, and it seems that gluten, corn and almonds will make it flare. For those short periods of time when I was able to avoid all three, it cleared up completely. I know it will take a while to figure out what ELSE causes it, but I know that SOMEDAY, it'll be gone for good!

Thank you!

Keratosis pilaris seems the closest to what I was experiencing. I googled some pictures and my skin issues looked a lot like that, although not as severe as many of the pics.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
