ARCHIVED Intro. + My Symptoms
Arlek replied to Arlek's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
That's an interesting thought. It doesn't itch, burn, or anything, though. It's just an annoying thing that I have this really strong urge to pick. Sometimes a layer of scab-like tissue will come off (but it generally just looks like skin).

Arlek posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hello, This is my first post. I've been doing a lot of research on celiac disease since having a conversation with someone who had something like a gluten allergy.
