Warts, no matter where on the body, are caused exclusively by HPV. There are over 100 strains of this virus, don't panic, HPV is not only, not always, or even usually an STD. My favorite source of online info for medical conditions is always the mayo clinic, so Open Original Shared Link to their page of information. It will include what it is and common treatments.

As a small child I had a rather large wart on my toe. The only treatment that proved effective was to have it frozen off.

Idon't know if they are celiac related, but I have heard that if you put duct tape over them and leave it for a week or so, they will come right off. I think it's something about they type of adhesive in duct tape that kills the virus that causes warts.

I've heard that too, hadn't tried it yet, but am getting warts frozen off. It is expensive and haven't been able to get in due to lack of money so the warts are growing again (finished second round of freezing). I will try the duct tape, using a bandaid didn't work but I was hoping the bandaid would do the same thing. It just spread the wards, guess bandaids collect too much moisture or something.

When my oldest son was around 7 his entire soles of his feet were covered with warts. Some of them caused him pain when he walked. I took him to his ped and was told there were too many to treat with salicylic acid, freeze or cut out. He suggested to try an injection of Gardasil. He had a patient that had warts all over his body and he gave the vaccine to him and it worked. I was told even though that it wasn't the same strain of HPV that it still would stimulate his immune system. So he received a one time injection and we were told that it would take around 4-6 weeks before we would notice anything if it was going to work. Lo and behold, right at about the 5 week mark we noticed the warts turning black and eventually they either fell off(leaving a hole in his foot) or disappeared. His feet healed up fine and he hasn't had a wart since.

I have to admit, I was skeptical at first because of the off label use, but figured I had nothing to loose. I was also surprised my insurance paid for it as I was told it probably wouldn't.

After suffering from chronic D, skin issues (red, scaly patches on my legs, cradle cap (?) on my scalp), sore, stiff joints that made me feel and walk like I was 90 years old (I'm in my 50s) - I read the Wheat Belly diet and eliminated gluten from my diet. It has been like a MIRACLE!!!!!! Not only did my D and sore joints improve within the first week, warts that I have had for years dried up and disappeared without any treatment. I used to treat them with OTC remedies, tried duct tape, occlusive bandages .... But they would always come back. I also have a plantar's wart that seems to be shriveling up, but isn't gone yet. The warts on my hand and foot look like they have healed from the inside out.

It took about a month for the warts to disappear. I can't believe that this is a coincidence! I haven't been able to find much online about gluten intolerance and warts, but maybe the sample size is too small. I've read that warts could heal when the immune system gets tuned up after eliminating gluten. Maybe that's true - but I was never a sickly person to begin with, so my immune system seems to have been working okay.

Seriously, I had one of the warts for about 7 or 8 years! I would get rid of it but it always came back. Now there is just a light pink scar where it used to be. The only thing I did was eliminate gluten. I also had a pretty good sized cluster of warts on the bottom of my foot - they dried up and came off just the other day. The plantar's wart is looking dry and feels hard. I know that it's the next one to go!

Getting rid of the warts is just amazing. I also feel 20 years younger. I can get up from a chair or get out of my car and walk normally again. My D stopped almost immediately.

If I had gone to a doctor with my symptoms, I probably would have been put on meds and had all kinds of invasive testing done.

Yet, something as simple as a diet change has made all the difference in the world. I'm telling everyone I know to try gluten free for a while to see what happens.

Thanks for reading! But yes, I do believe that my gluten intolerance had something to do with warts!

My son had a huge wart on his finger last year that we had frozen off. It came back about a month ago. I have been putting enough black duct tape to cover it and then covering it again with a bandaide(so the duct tape isn't visible).....it does work but it will take more than a week. We are going on 3 weeks and it is almost gone!! I believe duct tape is used because it blocks out light....warts apparently need light to grow.

I'm not sure why duct tape works for some people but it isn't light. As I stated previously, I had a wart on my toe as a child. I grew up on a farm and while I did have plenty of time to be a child I didn't have time to do stupid things like be injured so I wore shoes. I also wore footy pajamas until I was about 8. So if simple absence of light solved the problem, my wart would have resolved itself.

A 2002 study had researchers suspecting that maybe the duct tape stimulated the immune system. Honestly though it was a short read and they didn't seem convinced themselves. Another popular theory is that they are starved of oxygen. This seems to be the most likely because it falls in line with the way several other home remedies for warts work, which essentially coat the wart and starve it of oxygen. There are a few other theories floating around the internet but none so popular as these two.

Ditto what Adalaide said, warts get no air and the irritation (skin sill turn white and die off) helps get rid of them.

I've heard that oregano oil works on warts. I'm planning on testing it out on my son this week.

Doesn't anybody use the time-honoured cure of rubbing it with steak, and then burying the steak in the garden under a fulll moon?? :blink: It was either that which worked for me, or (and you have to remember this was NZ) the ink in my inkwell which I used to jab into it with my nib :lol: I bet there are not a lot of you who had inkwells and nibs in school. :rolleyes:

I was up very early this morning and I had time to read the new entries on the entire board....

and just have to say, Shroom.........this response made my morning and will likely keep me grinning for the rest of the day.

Inkwells and nibs...no, I did not use them, but the hole was still there in the desk for it and I recall asking Sr. Marie Claire (who taught first grade)

"hey, what is this thing?" because of course, I had to know.

and she told me and I thought "WOW, I wish I had one of those!"

That's all. I have no profound thoughts on warts except I had one once on my MIDDLE finger and I found it amusing to show it

to everyone. Dad got rid of it with Compound W, as I recall. Bummer.

I was enjoying getting away with flipping the bird.

The inkwell was also an interesting vase - made very pretty carnations :lol:

I had warts on my foot/toes for 14 years! I tried freezing, Compound W, laser treatments, duct tape, apple cider vinegar...and they ALWAYS came back worse than before. A year ago September, I started taking cod liver oil (vitamin D and A). Within 3 weeks of taking it, they were starting to shrink and turn black. They were completely gone after 8 weeks and have never returned. In my case, I think my body wasn't able to fight off the virus due to a vitamin deficiency (not sure if A or D, as I wasn't tested before I started the CLO...).

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @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.

      @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."

      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.
