72 Hours Into Gluten Free. Finally!

well, thanks to no answers and not willing to wait for a new outbreak (they have been lasting 6 months or more) to get a biopsy done, I have decided to bite the bullet and commit to gluten free for 6 months to see what happens with my skin. 

 

I took a 5% cortisone which finally helped (took over a week to touch it) and now my skin is finally on the mend. 

 

So, I have been 3 days gluten free and feeling good so far. Last night though, I had a weird reaction and my hands became intensly itchy (palms). They were red, hot and so so itchy. Gone by the time I woke up this morning. Not sure what that was but all I had last night were some kettle cooked organic, gluten free salted chips. Weird.

 

I hope that my skin likes my new way of eating

Did you call the company to find out if the salt they use in the chips is iodized or plain? If it was iodized that could explain the itchy palms.

No I didn't. I have been reading lots about iodine content but was just worried about gluten free to start. I had it happen again tonight. I have never had itchy palms so it seems funny that suddenly, after 3 days gluten free, I am getting that reaction?

I've had a lot of stomach issues over the years and it has effected my arms and hands on several occasions. Numbness, tingling, weakness etc. maybe it's part of the withdrawal.

if they were red before scratching, perhaps an histamine reaction?

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
