Skin Tags ... From Celiac?

I have had skin tags as long as I can remember. I just realized that since I went gluten free 4 years ago no new skin tags have appeared. Is it possible that it is another symptom of Celiac? Has any one else noticed a decrease in skin tags since going gluten free? :rolleyes:

This is an excellent question, one I have wondered myself. I too have skin tags on my feet but no new ones have cropped up yet since going gluten-free.

Very interesting! It is a bonus to not be continually getting skin tags, if it is from going gluten free it is another reason to be thankful for the celiac diagnosis. :lol: Would be interesting to know if other celiacs have noticed that too.

I don't see a connection for me. I've developed severval more on my neck in the last couple of years. I think if you are prone to getting them, you just do.

I know this is an old post, but I have been researching gluten sensitivity and stumbled upon an article that mentioned a relationship with insulin resistance.  After reading this, I stumbled upon another article that relates skin tags as a symptom of insulin resistance. : Open Original Shared Link    So it seems highly plausable there is a coorelation there. Maybe even more research :)

I have noticed more skin tags since my diagnosis of Celiac Disease and going gluten free.  A doctor has asked me if anyone in my family is diabetic, because "diabetics have skin tags and dark patches"..... my mother had the same --dark patches and skin tags but NO diabetes in the family.  I find the mention of insulin resistance and skin tags very interesting.  In addition I have started to crave sugar.... not sure what that means.....

I am not diabetic but over the past 5 yrs or so I have developed skin tags. Also had the darkened areas of skin around the neck and underarms. I read this was caused by metabolic syndrome. I went on glucophage for this and it cleared up, but later the tags arrived. I have been doing a plant based diet , that is almost oil free, and sugar free since end of January and went off the glucophage and cut my blood pressure med in half and ready to eliminate that soon.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.
