Do I Have Celiac Disease? (Please See Picture)

Hi, I greatly appreciate your time.  I've been having weird rashes for the last few months from time to time.  The last couple days all of a sudden I developed this rash on my left arm only (very little on my right arm).  It's very itchy and it's small bumps that are elevated.  It feels like what I remember poison ivy feeling like when I was a kid.  A couple of months ago I had a nasty rash on my stomach and chest and patches on my legs.  My doctor said it was poison oak and sent me to dermotologist who said the same thing.  It took a long time to get rid of and I was on strong anitbiotics and steroids.  Anyway here is a picture of my latest rash.  I have been putthing Sarna on it for the last few days which is soothing but doesn't seem to be improving the condition.  It has not gotten better or worse in the last couple days.  Like I said it is quite itchy but I haven't broken the skin (yet).  Here is a picture I just took of it.  Reading on the internet I came to the info about Coeliac disease and reaction to gluten and this sounds a lot like what I'm experiencing.  I did eat a lot of pizza around the night before this broke out! 

 

Thanks again for taking a look for me!

James

I posted one but can't remember how I did it.  LOL   Most upload photos to a photo site like photo bucket.  DH presents symmetrically, ie  both arms, both sides of back, both knees, etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Bebee, Yes, Celiac Disease has genetic commonalities with MS, hypothyroidism, arthritis, Reynaud, and rosacea.   Usually a gluten challenge is done before endoscopy with biopsies taken,  however I would not recommend a gluten challenge before endoscopy with biopsies for you since you have been gluten free for so long and have so many concurrent autoimmune diseases.   You can still have the endoscopy with biopsy samples taken now.  After several months with dietary changes, you can have another to compare results and check that intestinal health has improved.   You can get a genetic test for Celiac disease which shares genetics with other autoimmune diseases that you have.  Eating gluten is unnecessary for genetic tests. For the rosacea, get checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) that could be causing gastrointestinal symptoms as well as causing skin issues.  Our skin is a reflection of our gastrointestinal health.     Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet has been helpful in keeping my own rosecea, eczema, and dermatitis herpetiformis and other autoimmune diseases in check.   Be sure to be checked for nutritional deficiencies that occur easily in gluten free and dairy free diets. Keep us posted on your progress! References: Clustering of autoimmune diseases in patients with rosacea https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26830864/ And...

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility
