- knitty kitty replied to LookingForAnswers101's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms7Abscesses on legs
Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas. Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates. Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help. I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away... -

As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today. -

Abscesses on legs
By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% gluten-free diet? -

- Ryangf replied to Ryangf's topic in Related Issues & Disorders6For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?
I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!- 1

Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas. Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates. Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help. I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away. If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs. Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine. Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check. I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too. Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy. Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too. Hang in there! You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey! Best wishes! -

Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.
