Large Study Reveals Connection Between Atopic Dermatitis and Celiac Disease

It looks like Haifa and Tel Aviv are the right places for me to go on holiday with Celiac and my lactose intolerance!

This makes total sense to me! I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2008 (after about 38 yrs of symptoms) and then out of no where, I developed atopic dermatitis in 2017. No one could figure out why and the dermatologist said it was no big deal  just pay attention what I ate and wore to see if I could figure out what was causing the reaction. In no way did she think this was related to Celiac - though I had to wonder. Now I feel vindicated - thank you.

Great piece perhaps others will be caught sooner. Many of us have a history of being missed while visiting seeing the exact branch of medicine who should know. They don't. I hope more can be educated instead of sending people home with a cream and directions to use gentle soap.

My daughter has both. Born with it.

Very interesting! 

I also have this problem on my face mostly is there anything i can use

i thought with gluten-free diet it would improve i was diagnosed celiac 2yrs ago

No one could even understand my weight loss and digestion problems until I went to the dermatologist. I was over forty years old , at the time. She took a skin culture and diagnosed Celiac disease for me. I went a strict gluten free diet and used Rx creams for the skin condition. Twenty five years later I no longer have the digestion problem, of everything going through me, but do still have skin flair ups. I still maintain a strict gluten free diet. I also lately given up meat and dairy but I did that for my heart/ colestoral , not my  Celiacs.     

This is the office, Petach Tikva, Israel; the Chief Physician’s Office, that diagnosed my son in 1976.

In Europe they make glucose-fructose syrup, maltodextrin and dextrose of wheat. That could maybe explain why you still have flair ups. And many celiacs also suffer from lactose intolerance, like me. So it might help to avoid lactose. In my case it does. I have celiac, lactose intolerance, Rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. I have to use RX for my head psoriasis, which changes my grey hair into a yellowish color. But still I have some flair ups too. But I am happy that after 50 years they at last found out what was wrong with me.

Bravo! These studies are the type that confirm what the patients have been saying all along. Now, look for the correlation in canker sores, scalp bumps, break outs and gluten. Lymphatic stagnation too.  Keep going Researchers...you have so much to learn about us Celiac patients! 

Is it true, then, that the atopic dermatitis may not go away after going on a gluten free diet?  If so, then I guess we are talking about correlation, not causation.
