There is a forum on recurring shingles and you would not believe how many people, mostly women get it year after year, sometimes month after month in their twenties and thirties. I have had rashes from Celiac and it is NOT the same. With shingles I end up in the ER with intense body pain, inner mouth blisters and neuralgia, etc..I have never had any diseases...

Raven-I am definitely certain they are shingles, besides the textbook symptoms (one side of body pain, neuralgia, blisters etc) I was tested a few times and it came out positive for the chicken-pox virus. I do get celiac rashes which are different than the shingles for me. I just wonder if celiac's are more prone to shingles, especially if they get gluten...

I am new to this forum so please bear with me...I saw the other shingle post but I wondered how many people with celiac-disease have gotten shingles more than once, and at an unusual age (under 50)? I am on my third break-out at 36. My doctor was completely disinterested in the fact that I have celiac-disease and that I thought it could very well relate to...
