Welcome to the board.  Does she have any symptoms other than the rash?  Has she had any celiac testing done? That should be your first step. Make sure that she doesn't go gluten free until testing is complete.

She was tested a few years ago but has been on oral steroids a lot so test came back negative but my grandfather is a celiac

I had patches like that on the back of my neck. Doc gave me a steroid cream and told me it was eczema and sent me on my way. The cream worked and now I only get small patches here and there. I've been diagnosed Celiac for 10 yrs and that happened after 2 years gluten free.

She now has little itchy water spots all over ther hands and feet, she does suffer from chronic eczema was just wondering about the new rash, I will ask her dermatologist to re test as she will be starting methotrexate next well so will need regular bloods

I hope they can find out what it is. Mine crusted over once I started using the cream (mometasone furoate) and eventually flaked away. I get oozing from my small patches, too. Let me know what you find out. Good luck.

My son had severe eczema from dairy sensitivity. Might want to look into other possible food sensitivity.

      Testing for celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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...

      Testing for celiac

      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

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      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.
