Welcome to what I think is Gluten Withdrawl symptoms. I have a few tiny spots of goofy rash. I am in my first 3 months of gluten withdrawl. These did not appear right away. Mine are mild and recovering quickly.

You might have Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH), which is a skin ailment that only celiacs suffer from. While you're going gluten free, try to go iodine free, too. A lot of people need to ingest both gluten and iodine to break out in DH. Iodine can be found in iodized salt (you can buy non-iodized salt instead), seafood, asparagus, salty foods (french fries, chips, etc.), and sometimes dairy, depending on where you live.

      Welcome to the fourum, @Grace Good! I cannot find any claims in the Amazon advertising for this company's products to the effect of it being gluten free. Yet, you state in your post that "it says their gluten free". What is "it"? Is there such a statement on the packaging?

      @Allias, Do you have low magnesium levels?   "The serum levels of parathyroid hormone and magnesium depend on each other in a complex manner. The secretion of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid is physiologically controlled by the serum calcium level, but magnesium can exert similar effects. While low levels of magnesium stimulate parathyroid hormone secretion, very low serum concentrations induce a paradoxical block. This block leads to clinically relevant hypocalcemia in severely hypomagnesiemic patients. The mechanism of this effect has recently been traced to an activation of the alpha-subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins. This activation mimicks activation of the calcium sensing receptor and thus causes inhibition of parathyroid hormone secretion. In addition to the effects of magnesium on parathyroid hormone secretion, parathyroid hormone in turn regulates magnesium homeostasis by modulating renal magnesium reabsorption. The distal convoluted tubule is of crucial importance for parathyroid hormone-regulated magnesium homeostasis." Magnesium and the parathyroid https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12105390/

      I'm guessing it was Manic Depression. I was depressed for 30 years.  It did not go away until I increased vitamin D3 to 10,000 IU (250 mcg) a day.  Three days after going from 8000 IU to 10,000 IU a great dark cloud lifted. Unless you are deficient in Calcium intake from food, don't supplement with calcium.  A high Parathyroid Hormone PTH blood test would indicate insufficient vitamin D causing calcium absorption problems..  High intakes of calcium can be associated with coronary artery calcification. In one study, calcium and vitamin D supplementation accelerated vascular calcification. Thousands of studies of vitamin D supplementation without Calcium have shown that vitamin D is safe even as much as 20,000 IU a day. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought That is confusing. Many gluten processed foods are fortified with vitamins that you no longer get with gluten-free foods.  Doctors don't recognize this as Knitty Kitty mentions. Sorry for the loss of your friend.   I see a pattern where a person with low vitamin D has a stressful situation, mentally or physically like Covid or a cold even allows the immune system to get out of control.  Low vitamin D is common in Celiac Disease.  You seem to fit the pattern. Low choline (eggs and meat) can cause problems digesting fat and Low Thiamine can cause gastrointestinal beriberi.  Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  Low B12 can be the cause of anemial is you are vegan.

      I feel super ill from putting in the lip balm. It says their gluten free but I've found a lot of manufacturers do that.  Can companies actually be honest if they aren't entirely sure

      high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) can indicate a vitamin D deficiency. The "normal level" of 25(OH) D is 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). That is the level our body sets as it's normal limit when we don't limit sunshine.  For some people like me it takes 10,000 IU a day to maintain that.  Lack of enough sun and malabsorption of vitamin D orally.
