Hello...

Just wondering if anyone else has had this and if so...did anything help?

I've had it for a few weeks and it's so beyond annoying. My Dr prescribed erythromycin 4 times a day for 2 weeks as it helps some cases of this ugly rash. But I can't even imagine what it would do to my gut so I haven't done that.

Any help or thoughts is appreciated as always!

According to the Mayo Clinic it is thought to be viral, in which case antibiotics won't work. They also say it usually goes away by itself in about ten weeks. Open Original Shared Link

I would avoid the antibiotics unless your doctor knows for sure that it is from bacteria! Sounds like no one knows the cause.

I looked it up and I would have to say that I had this once (about 20 years ago). My GP thought I was reacting to a new brand of supplements. It went away in a month or two. in any case, I ditched that brand of supplements. It was winter, so there was no need for me to wear a bikini!

Thanks ladies. It is indeed thought to be viral. My Dr sent in the prescription and I got a call from my pharmacy that they don't carry it. Felt like it was a sign for sure.

I've read that UV therapy can help. So I've been sitting out back with my shirt hiked up to my bra line and my shorts pulled down to my bikini line since I don't own a 2 piece. I can't even imagine how I look! Lol!

But it is quite irritating. You would think with our super immune systems that maybe we wouldn't get viruses?

Thanks so much Miss Eloise! Can't believe you had this too! I'm doing the sun and vitamins and just hoping it goes away soon.

Thanks Eloise! I'm actually all grown with children of my own, but my husband has helped. I hope you are feeling better.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
