ARCHIVED Tiny Red Itchy Bumps On Hand Joints And Foot
realityrain replied to Stacy0w's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
While I've never had what you are describing my food allergies give me all kinds of skin issues. I would say that you may be getting gluten somewhere that you are missing or that you may be intolerant or allergic to more than gluten which is very common. Are you keeping a food diary?

I had to go on the Autoimmune Protocol before 95% of my symptoms went away, it was hard but so worth it to find out what other foods I can't handle like, soy, corn, nightshades, etc (I've been off dairy for over 20 years).

ARCHIVED Should I Cheat On My Gf Diet?
realityrain replied to Kateteich's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I cheated at the beginning. A lot. I wasn't yet diagnosed with Celiac but I knew gluten was a problem in my body. I still cheated. And I got really, really sick.
