Burning Sensation On Skin...

I have been experiencing a burning sensation on my skin (my face mainly) off and on since 2002. I have been tested for MS, Lupus, and other misc. diseases/disorders.

I am iron deficient anemic is about the only thing that has been found.

I ache all over sometimes, go through stages of fatigue, feeling sluggish, etc....

A friend of a friend has Celiac and said she had burning sensations as well. I am considering going to get tested for Celiac.

What is your opinion?

I am miserable!

Thanks!

Sherry

I used to get a burning sensation......on my forearm, mostly. It felt like there should've been a visible red burn in that spot. And also a sensation that someone spilled cold water on my leg. Those are finally gone. It could be celiac, but it might be difficult to get a doctor to order the test based on that and fatigue. There are a variety of symptoms for celiac, but many doctors don't recognize anything but stomach disorders and weight loss <_<

I suffered horrible burning sensations from scalp to toes. :blink:

No one could tell me what it was. I was also red (like I had a sunburn and a constant histamine response) and had a burning face. (I was tested repeatedly, not lupus,MS etc.) I had several neurological issues as a result of gluten, but they are resolving.

It was this burning that "got my attention" back in Feb. 2008 and the first indicator that something was going very, very wrong inside me. I had other health problems and gastro symptoms prior to that but "lived with them"...Dozens of symptoms developed after that, and it took nearly 3 years to be DXed.

The burning has tamped down a bit, but it is extremely uncomfortable and is worse if I am accidentally glutened.

I'm going through the process of getting tested for Celiac disease and other possibilities right now. About a year ago, I started having a numb/tingling feeling while lying down wherever I was touched. So weird! Then one morning I woke up and my entire chest/head felt like that. My doc told me to go to the ER but they said it was just anxiety and low magnesium. How you can be anxious when you first wake up, I have no idea! At the followup with my doc she scheduled a brain/spine MRI and full abdominal ultrasound. Both were normal.

Anyway, I just started getting a burning/pain sensation in/under my skin, particularly my arms/upper back but also my scalp. I also have thinning hair. Well, I found an article that a pinched nerve in the shoulder might cause the sensation in the arms/upper back. Alopecia or hormones is said to sometimes cause similar scalp problems. It seems like Celiac could cause almost anything though. It certainly wouldn't hurt to check into it, especially since anemia is also a symptom. =)

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
