I haven't heard from anyone else on this board about cigarettes, and am wondering if they're ok. I'm not a regular smoker, but have maybe one cig. every 3 months or so. I haven't had any since going gluten-free, however (8 months ago.) Are they considered "safe" or it something we have to call the manufacturer about?

Gillian, I think that you're referring to Gluten content (correct me if I'm wrong) in this topic, but I'd like to share a little of my story and Toot my own horn, so to speak. There is a cigarrette topic under Coping With Celiac started on 3-17 by Mario that I found very interesting. It has a lot of replies and in these, I learned that it could be contributing to my Celiac as well as ruining my health in other ways. I'd smoked for about 40 + yrs; 3 pkg. a day! Stupid ? YES!! but truthful!!

I had cut back to 1 pkg a day and could tell it helped but I still had problems. After reading this string, I bought a box of patches, finished the last cigarette in the house, put on a patch and haven't had a cig. since!!! I'm so happy to be free of them and feel a lot better. THANKS to all who wrote on this string!!

I still have days of temptation but they are getting less and with God's help and all the help I've received here, I know I can do this and stay clean. I'm very interested in responces to your question as I'd never even considered that they might contain gluten! There is so much knowledge here!

Thanks for listening! Granny

Granny -

I heard through the grapevine that cigarette papers contain trace amounts of gluten. Whether this is true or not I am not sure. Like I said I didn't hear it from a doctor or manufacturer just a friend commenting on it. Sorry I don't know for sure or have more information. If you find out let me know because I'm around smokers all the time, and it would be a nice thing to know.

Sorry I can't help more!

if the gluten doesn't bug you, the formaldehyde will! etc!

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Hi there, Can you describe them a little more? Do they ooze? Do they itch? Do they spread like a rash or appear like a "boil?" Has a doctor / dermatologist looked at them? Are they big? Do they seem like they could get infected if not careful? Do they disappear? (You say you get them "2/3" months, assuming you meant "2 to 3" - so have the ones that came 2-3 months beforehand disappeared?) Have you noticed what triggers them? Etc. Welcome!

      Hello, gluten free community! Thank you so much for welcoming me into your space. I'd like to ask if anyone has had a similar experience. 5 years ago, when I was 26, I started getting abscesses on my lower buttcheek every 2/3 months. There have been a lot of them in the past few years! Now for the last year or so, I keep getting absesses on the back of my thighs. I read online that gluten sensitivity can cause skin issues, and I read that it can cause perianal abscesses, but I have not seen anything about abscesses in other locations--has anyone else had this experience? Could this be gluten-related? Much love
