  1. Hi, I am re- discovering that a grain free diet is helping my eczema go away plus hits making me able to sleep way better. That along with a lower FODMap diet is reducing my bloating. I realize this could be considered a controversial topic—however it’s really helping me even though I’ve had no great need to lose weight. Just getting rid of the itchy eczema is beneficial enough. Now I can sleep way better not being itchy. It also seems to be improving my nerves. Plus now I can eat more non grain foods. I have been completely gluten free since the end of 2007– and previous to that I had reduced gluten greatly for many years (I had erroneously thought it was just an allergy). Being strictly gluten free simply hasn’t been enough. Even the pseudo grains bother me unfortunately. Being grain free is actually reducing my other food sensitivities. Now I can eat eggs and peanut butter amazingly— both of which have been verboten for some years. I was initially diagnosed with celiac when I was less than a year old. I was exposed to radiation from Hanford’s infamous Green Run experiments. I became ill with terrible bronchitis plus i stopped growing. This went on for several months. Fortunately the doctor was from a research hospital back East. He figured out after I was put in isolation and got better after being taken off gluten and high fat milk. My mother had celiac but thought she had “grown out of it”— which no doubt gave the good doctor an important clue. I got way better being gluten free. Back then I ate a lot of Uncle Ben’s Rice. Unfortunately I was put back onto eating gluten grains when I turned five due to the ignorance of the 1950’s. At that time the docs figured one could grow out of it. My mother also wanted to spare me the experience of appearing different at school etc— as she was forced to have a gluten free diet by her parents. The problem is that being severely sensitive to gluten all those years didn’t help my intestinal villi any. I thus still have leaky gut even though it probably isn’t as bad as it was ten or fifteen years ago. I am now eating more low FODMap squashes —mainly summer squash and delicati with small portions of Kabocha (which I am more sensitive to) as well as some root vegetables for my starch. Fortunately rutabagas work well for me. I also eat a bit of yams—after I peel, slice and boil them and then throw out the water to reduce oxalates. I’m allergic to carrots so I avoid them and their cousin parsnips. I’ve yet to fully figure out which high FODmaps are ok for me—though onion and garlic appear to be fine. I’ve reintroduced chia seed pudding sweetened with stevia. And am glad to report I am fine adding a couple of tablespoons of ground sunflower seeds to it along with two tablespoons of blueberries—for now my one allowable fruit given how sensitive I am to fruit in general. so this is my journey. I’m wondering if there’s others here experiencing and exploring similar healing effects being grain free and perhaps low FODMap. YoloGx
  2. Celiac.com 05/21/2021 - We've reviewed many EpiLynx by Dr. Liia products, and perhaps our favorites are their “bundles” because they offer a nice savings when you buy a group of their cosmetics, compared to buying them individually.

  4. Hi everyone, I’m hoping I can get some guidance here. Two years ago I saw a naturopath for some gastro issues, among others. She made the connection between them and the EXTREMELY itchy rash I’d been experiencing, telling me it was possibly celiac/DH. All the blood work she ordered came back negative for celiac, but there was evidence in the tests of lots of inflammation in my body. I also noticed the rash getting slightly better when I did a gluten-free diet for a few weeks. Because I still live/eat with my family at home they won’t take this diagnosis seriously without it being confirmed by my normal doctor. So after bringing up everything the naturopath said to my GP, she wrote it off as eczema and IBS. Since then I’ve been stuck in this cycle of my doctor prescribing a new steroid cream every time I see her and finding no relief at all. I’ve finally convinced her to refer me to a dermatologist and after a phone visit I have a biopsy scheduled for the end of this month. I’m hopeful describing my symptoms and seeing the rash in person will lead the derm to consider DH. But my question is, do I have to bring up DH/celiac or will the biopsy prove the rash isn’t eczema on its own? I fear my thoughts on what’s going on will just be written off automatically because they’re coming from a naturopath, as that was my GP and families reaction. Any thoughts/ideas/advice is much appreciated.
  5. Celiac.com 10/03/2020 - Did you know that eczema may be triggered by gluten? Well it often is! This is one of the most exciting and biggest breakthroughs my research into the harm caused by gluten. A mum wrote to me: “I used to get eczema on my knees which cleared up on a gluten-free diet. My mother knows when she has been contaminated with gluten as she gets eczema all over her arms, and my sister gets it on her neck. It is strange that eczema is localized on different places for each of us!” After beginning gluten-free eating, she recognized that gluten aggravated her eczema – and that it probably caused it in the first place. She is not alone in her observations. I have seen this myself and many others have told me similar stories. I am a pediatric allergist and have investigated children with food allergies for 30 years. I am also a gastroenterologist, and have studied children with celiac disease over all this time. Naturally, I began to wonder if gluten was causing more harm than just producing gut damage: I wondered if it was also causing eczema? I soon discovered that it was! I noticed that many children who had celiac disease also had eczema. And, when they went onto a gluten-free diet their eczema usually got better. Of course I already knew about Dermatitis Herpetiformis (an itchy skin condition provoked by gluten), but nobody had previously documented that gluten could cause eczema. The next step was to test all my chronic eczema children for gluten reactions. And guess what! I found that 75% of these children with eczema had an abnormal gluten blood test (their IgG-gliadin antibodies were high). Logically, I suggested that these children try a gluten-free diet. They did, and they got very much better. This excited me. I used to struggle to help these children who suffered with itching, bleeding skin and disturbed sleep. Now, when a child with severe eczema comes into my clinic, at last I can offer hope of a cure. It has revolutionized my practice and the lives of these families. Yes! I have discovered that the majority of eczema in children (and adults) is triggered by gluten. This is a staggering result. Think of how many people are suffering unnecessarily from eczema that could be mostly cured by a gluten free diet. Eczema is part of “The Gluten Syndrome” which comprises gut, skin and nerve problems caused by gluten. I have written all about this is my new book “Eczema! Cure it!” You can get this on the webpage. Cheers, Dr Rodney Ford.

  7. Celiac.com 04/26/2017 - "The universe is made of stories, not atoms" — Muriel Rukeyser Helen, a woman with severe lifelong eczema/dermatitis, wrote to me a few weeks ago, saying "I have taken your advice and been strictly gluten free for five months now. The eczema inflammation is 99% gone and my skin quality has significantly improved. I do still get a bit itchy around my neck area and elbow creases, more so at night when it is warm. I have noticed a significant improvement in my asthma also. I still use antihistamines perhaps once or twice a week for runny nose. Does this mean I will need to be gluten free for life? Which of your books would you say would be the most relevant for someone in my position? Thank you for your assistance, regards, Helen. I recommended eBook: "Dermatitis Eczema: Gluten Wheat – Solving the eczema puzzle." Available at: http://www.GlutenEczema.com This is an excerpt from the chapter: "Children better off gluten/wheat". To help you get a better idea of how gluten can trigger eczema, here are narratives of some children whose eczema got better when their gluten sensitivity was recognised and treated. Most had good remission of their eczema on a gluten-free diet. Their stories told by their parents. To give context to the blood test values, the normal reference ranges were: AGA: 0–15 tTG: 0–20 Celiac disease with bad eczema Lily at five years old was diagnosed by me with celiac disease. Symptoms: eczema. Run down, pot tummy and slow growth. Tests: All of her blood tests were positive for celiac disease (tTG 120) and she had an abnormal intestinal biopsy which confirmed the bowel damage of celiac disease. AGA very high (115). Her mum said: "Lily has now been gluten-free for the last year. She came to see Dr. Ford to investigate her allergies. She had a blocked nose and troublesome eczema. She also had quite a pot tummy and Dr Ford said that her growth was slow (she was thin and short). Dr Ford said that she needed blood tests for gluten and celiac disease: these were both positive. So she had an endoscopy, which was abnormal, showing the villus blunting of celiac disease. Therefore, she had to go on a gluten-free diet." "Since she has been gluten-free over the last year, she has gotten better and better. She no longer has lots of infections, she has more energy, and interestingly, her allergies have nearly gone away. Her skin used to give her a lot of trouble – she had a lot of bad eczema. Her eczema now is very much better and she only has small amounts left in her creases. And if she has any gluten errors it flares up." Recovering from gluten-eczema Isabella, at two years old, was recovering from her eczema. I asked her mother what happens if Isabella has any gluten. Her mum said: "Isabella had eczema all over her body. She was on strong steroid creams. She had the positive blood tests for gluten antibodies (AGA of 66), so it was suggested I take her off the gluten. I did this." "I took her off gluten and it has cleared her eczema up. Now, when she does eat anything with gluten in it she gets little patches of eczema on her legs. I just can't believe it!" Blood all over her sheets Emily was three years old. She had a high anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA 48) but she did not have celiac disease (normal tTG). Her mother told me: "Initially her skin was really sore, dry and scratchy. She would have blood all over her sheets in the morning from scratching while she was asleep. Her poos were really sloppy and nasty." "But after taking gluten out of her diet her skin cleared up within days, and the itchiness of her skin settled. She was just so much happier." Dry skin and worsening eczema Breanna and Alyssa, twins aged 3 years. Symptoms: eczema and poor sleeping. Both had high AGA levels (60 & 68) and normal tTG levels (5 & 3). They did not warrant an endoscopy. Mum writes: "My twins were born at 26 weeks. During our stay in NICU they developed very dry skin, at times you felt like you wanted to peel the dry skin off. The word eczema was mentioned on more than one occasion. There is a history of eczema and asthma in our family, so at the time I tried to deny all knowledge of that word." Dry skin and worsening eczema "Eleven weeks later we took our twins home. Their skin was still dry and we were given a moisturiser to use as required. As time went on their skin didn't improve and eventually at around the age of one year they showed real signs of eczema. We started to use steroid creams: 1% Hydrocortisone to start with, then onto a much stronger steroid cream. Soon, this stronger cream was used all the time to control their eczema as the other creams were of no real help." "At around 2 years old, while at a playgroup session one of the mothers was talking about her daughter's eczema and how she had gone to see Dr Ford and now there were no signs of it there today. Of course my ears pricked up. I was interested to hear how her diet affected her skin and the word gluten was mentioned." At the time it didn't mean a lot to me. Therefore, I made an appointment and I was excited to think that we might be able to change the girls' diet and their skin condition may improve. They had positive gluten blood tests "The day arrived and we had our first visit. He talked to us about this gluten thing and that if we could avoid it then their skin might make a dramatic improvement. I was keen to try anything. Firstly, they had to have some skin prick allergy tests – it showed a reaction to wheat among a few other things. Next, the girls had a blood test confirming that they definitely had an allergy to gluten, and their iron levels were also very low. The final step was to set about changing their diet. I can honestly say that this was daunting to start with but once we got our heads around the issues, it became second nature." Sleeping at last! "One of the biggest changes we have noticed is that they are now sleeping so much better. I was constantly up and down to them all night and was getting so worn out now we can almost guarantee a full nights sleep, Yahoo!! The other major issue was the steroid cream use: we haven't used the strong steroid cream for 12 months. So for me, going gluten-free was a huge step in the right direction." Gluten-free gets easier "There are heaps of products that we can use and the staff in shops were very helpful with information and getting stock in. I have since brought a number of cook books all with sections on gluten-free that have been helpful. When baking or cooking, I now just do it the gluten-free way and everyone in our family eats it with no complaints. We have all adjusted accordingly." "Our thanks goes out to Dr Ford for all his help. I also send good luck to all of you who are about to embark on a gluten-free diet – the rewards will be well worth the sacrifice." Sharon Losing her hair – alopecia Ella, age 6 years. Symptoms: eczema, alopecia, moody, abdominal pain, multiple food allergy. AGA high (49), tTG normal (3), EMA negative, Small bowel biopsy, normal. Mum writes: "Ella is now age 6 years. At age 3 years Ella started to lose her hair. After a year of scalp treatment, by the time she turned 5 years old, all but one small patch had regrown." Losing her hair "About 4 months later a small patch of alopecia reappeared and her hair loss rapidly progressed from there. At this time her eczema, always present in a mild form, worsened and became almost impossible to control. Many forms of treatment were tried and all failed. Within the year Ella had lost all her hair and was constantly itching. Over this time Ella also complained of tummy pains and weight loss." Diagnosed as gluten-sensitive "As her father has celiac disease, we decided to get Ella checked. Her blood test was positive but the biopsy was negative for celiac disease. In discussion with the GP and some unanswered questions we eventually had an appointment with Dr Ford. After this appointment, Ella started on a strict gluten-free diet and has remained on it for the past 4 months." Amazing results "The results are amazing. Ella has stopped most of her scratching and she is far more comfortable. Ella's mood has changed and she is now a very happy little girl. Best news of all is that she has started to have a small amount of hair growth." "At no time, despite the variety of people seen and the fact that they were aware of family history, did anyone suggest getting Ella tested for celiac disease. It was purely parents at the end of their tether, pushing." Sue She was getting worse eczema Tessa, age 2 years. Symptoms: eczema, poor growth, multiple food allergy. Tests: AGA high (51), tTG normal (7), Biopsy not done. Mum writes: "Tessa was our first-born baby. She weighed a healthy 8lb and was breastfed until 6 months. I introduced solids at 5 months. Having given a bottle of expressed milk every night since she was 10 weeks, I found that she preferred this and weaned herself." Eczema at the time of solids "Tessa had eczema from the time she commenced solids, but it was manageable with mild steroid ointments. However, at six months her eczema became more distressing for her. She had her first course of antibiotics at this age." "We felt that we were using more and more topical steroids, oral antibiotics, and even a course of oral prednisone. None of these treatments felt satisfactory to her family. We needed a solution to prevent the problem. Not only was her skin getting worse but also she was quietly losing weight. A friend suggested visiting Dr Rodney Ford." Allergies to egg, dairy and peanuts "Our first visit involved an extensive medical history and allergy testing. Tessa was found to be allergic to egg, dairy, peanut, grass, and cats. We excluded the food allergens from her diet. But, over the next four months Tessa had a dramatic weight loss, going from the 50 percentile to falling off the Child Health nurse growth graph. She required more steroids, and antibiotics." Waking screaming "My angel baby, who had slept through the night from age 6 weeks, was now 16 months and woke every night screaming inconsolably. We were getting desperate, putting in an awful lot of work by eliminating dairy and egg with no rewards. With a new baby due to be born Tessa's exhausted parents needed answers. Back to Dr Ford we went. He suggested running some blood tests to check her gluten markers. It came back that her Anti-Gliadin Antibody was 51, suggesting that she was gluten-sensitive." Gluten-free as well! "We trailed a gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy-free diet. This was a totally overwhelming prospect for our family, as at that time we were introducing a two-week-old baby to the world! Luckily, Tessa's father, who too is an adult sufferer of eczema, was able to take all this on board and went off grocery shopping, bringing back lots of acceptable goodies. It was also at this time that I learnt of the real benefits of living in a small town." We had a gluten-free buddy "We were very fortunate that another mother of gluten-sensitive children took me by the hand grocery shopping, showing me how easy it is! Also, the church where we regularly attend made a whole week's worth of meals for the freezer which all fitted the requirements for Tessa's diet. All this really just through word of mouth!" At last she is better "We are so excited to see such an improvement. She has just been allergy tested again and we are able to introduce egg and dairy again. I had been giving small amounts of dairy already, hoping that she would have grown out of this. At one point all she would eat was cheese, so to get some calories into her that is what we fed her. Having Tessa on a gluten-free diet requires us to be organized and creative. It is especially difficult when you spontaneously decide to go out for the day: there are no guarantees that we will find appropriate food for Tessa, so usually we pack a lunch." Gluten-free is expensive "The food that is gluten-free is also usually twice the price of other foods. We have had to learn to bake, which is something I still struggle with. We have had some major disasters, especially baking cakes. Whenever it seems too difficult, and we are out of ideas, it is not too hard to find a reason to keep trying." Improved gluten free "Our little girl has significantly improved since becoming gluten-free. She has not required antibiotics or oral steroids for eczema since commencing the diet. We can now apply the topical steroid ointments as prescribed "sparingly". She no longer gets up in the morning, her pyjamas and sheets covered in blood, and forehead weeping. She can play in sandpits without fear that the sand will get into her sores, and once again they will be infected." "We are so lucky that something so simple as changing Tessa's diet has had such a dramatic affect on her life." Mum Think about the gluten-eczema link As you have been told by these families, gluten has been found to be an important trigger for eczema in these children. My research findings show that the majority of people over three years of age, who have ongoing and troublesome eczema, have gluten-sensitivity. When gluten is removed from their diets, they get better. Advice about blood testing for gluten and for information on a gluten-free diet can be found on our webpage: http://www.DrRodneyFord.com and in the previous chapters. This is an excerpt from Dr Rodney Ford's eBook, "Dermatitis Eczema: Gluten Wheat – Solving the eczema puzzle" Available at: http://www.GlutenEczema.com Written in the spirit of cooperation and knowledge sharing.

  8. Celiac.com 03/26/2019 - People with gluten intolerance often have non-gastrointestinal symptoms, including several common skin conditions. If you have celiac disease or other sensitivity to gluten, a gluten-free diet may help to improve symptoms of these associated skin conditions. These Seven Common Skin Conditions are Associated with Celiac Disease Acne Links between celiac and malabsorption, as well as hormonal upset can contribute to a greater production of acne. Many birth control pills boast promises of clearer skin, their method is through hormone manipulation. Because many who suffer from gluten intolerance also experience a disruption of normal hormone function, this disharmony can lead to problems with acne. There are some anecdotal reports that acne can improve on a gluten-free diet. Canker Sores (Aphthous Stomatitis) Technically, the mouth is not part of the skin, but we include canker sores, since they are one of the most common non-gastrointestinal celiac symptoms, and easily visible in the mirror. Nearly 20% of people with symptomatic celiac disease had canker sores as one of their symptoms. In many cases, these canker sores are recurrent, and can be one of the few or only signs of celiac disease. Dermatitis Herpetiformis This painful, blistery condition can be very stressful, especially when misdiagnosed. An inflamed, itchy rash, dermatitis herpetiformis begins as tiny white filled blisters or red spots around hair follicles. Trying to hide or disguise DH, as well as trying to treat it when misdiagnosed can be incredibly stressful for a person. Read more on celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis at Celiac.com. Dry Skin Also correlated to malabsorption, dry skin is a very common complaint amongst those with celiac. But this condition is one that many people see even after the prescribed treatment of a gluten free diet. Why? Vitamin E rich grains are vital to maintaining skin harmony, but since many who are gluten intolerant begin avoiding grains completely—even those grains that are gluten-free, getting that important Vitamin E in their diets can become a challenge. Eczema Eating a gluten-free diet is becoming an increasingly popular mode of treatment for eczema. Those who are gluten intolerant also tend to have more advanced psoriasis.Psoriasis—Like eczema, psoriasis has in many cases shown improvement when the person is put on a gluten free diet. In Scott Adams’ 2004 article, he also mentioned that psoriasis in those with celiac tends to be more severe. Psoriasis Psoriasis is a common, chronic, genetic, systemic inflammatory disease that usually manifests as itchy plaques of raised red skin covered with thick silvery scales. Psoriasis is usually found on the elbows, knees, and scalp but can often affect the legs, trunk, and nails. There’s been very little research done on the association between celiac disease and psoriasis. That means there’s just not much good information. Some people with psoriasis claim to see benefits on a gluten-free diet, but that is purely anecdotal. One interesting finding recently was that psoriasis patients who do not have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity commonly show high levels of antigliadin IgA antibody, and would likely benefit from a gluten-free diet. Some earlier studies have shown that celiac disease antibodies correlate with psoriasis activity, though little follow-up has been done, so there’s still a lot of confusion about any connection to celiac disease?

Rosacea Rosacea is a common inflammatory skin condition that shares the same genetic risk location as autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and celiac disease. Some studies have shown high rates of immune conditions in rosacea patients, while others have shown a connection between rosacea, celiac and other diseases. Still, more research is needed to nail down the connection. The most recent study showed that rosacea is associated with T1DM, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis in women, whereas the association in men was statistically significant only for rheumatoid arthritis. Again, for people with celiac disease, or a sensitivity to gluten, symptoms of these skin conditions may improve or disappear on a gluten-free diet.
  9. Hey guys so I have had this rash going on for a few months and my doctor just looked at it and said she didn't know what it was and to just use a steroid cream. The cream only works sometimes and generally just stops itching and the blisters from getting bad but never clears it up. I have questioned gluten sensitivity in the past because every time I eat it I immediately get hiccups. Anyhow my rash is on the sides of my ring and middle finger about 2 inches long. It starts as little clear water pockets under the skin and is incredibly itchy. Then it turns to red scaly and peeling and the blisters become raised. Does this sound like something anyone is experienced? Any suggestions for how to get my dr. To look into it more? I'm just nervous because last visit she charged me 800$ to tell me she didn't know what it was and send my home with a prescription that doesn't even work really. Thanks so much in advance!
  10. My sister and I joke around a lot about the creative ways we hide our symptoms from the world. From carrying strong ass perfume, or wearing pads in our shirts, we create laughter and ideas that would send any normal person walking away shaking their head. But at what point does hiding your symptoms take every inch of strength from you? I realized just how weak I was when my symptoms showed on a place I couldn’t hide… My lips. I have been diagnosed with eczema for a while now and I have found creative ways of hiding it from the world, and more importantly “those girls” when I was in high school. Just recently, however, the eczema moved to my face and the world began to fall apart. I had been dealing with a long list of internal undiagnosed problems along with symptoms that would make anyone cringe, but I was always able to hold down the fort with one sentence: “If I am beautiful on the outside, no one can tell how broken I am on the inside”. What a terrible though to push through my head every morning at the age of 19, but it worked. I was confident calm and a pretty face to look at, even though 20 min earlier I was throwing up blood. When the eczema could no longer be covered with my tricks of the trade I had a meltdown. My boyfriend held me as I blurted out “now I’m as ugly on the outside as I am on the inside”. He was shocked. He knew what I was going through on an outward level, but failed to realize the extensive damage it had done to my confidence. All he could do was hold me and listen to the sounds of me weep, until I was ready to get up and face myself again in the mirror. I had cracked, all of those years hiding everything came out in one sudden moment and it took everything away from me. About a week has passed from that moment and I am on medication to help my lips heal, but at what cost? When I am done, I will put an X on the bottle and throw it into the box full of empty medications. As I close the lid to that box, I will once again push all of my symptoms back into the depth of my body and out of the eyes of the public. Looking in the mirror, every morning and telling myself, “If I am beautiful on the outside, no one can tell how broken I am on the inside”.
