I have had two episodes of significant (unable to close my mouth to drink) swelling of just the right lower lip, both of which happened with severe glutening (yesterday from regular bread presented to me as gluten-free at a restaurant). It was accompanied by the itchy painful spots of dermatitis herpetiformis about 12 hours earlier, and about 24 hours after my meal. As a physician, I am interested in describing this lip swelling as a marker of celiac disease. Would anyone be willing to share their stories and/or pictures for a case report in the medical literature? You can email me privately at crystal.lumi@yahoo.com.
