I have had Celiac Disease for over 10 years with good tolerance.  However, this last year I developed Urtecia (horrible hives) that Zi have not been able to control even with Rx from allergist doctor.  Has anyone had success with any treatment?

Hi and thanks for replying.  I mean I am able to keep from getting sick by strict adherence to no gluten consumption.

Sounds like you probably have some food allergies in addition to being a celiac. This is extremely common in the celiac community and due mostly to the leaky gut syndrome that accompanies celiac disease. You might want to look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing to get an idea of what foods may be the offenders.

But I have read that celiacs often develp other conditions, like urticaria.  My allergist doctor doesn’t seem to be on board with that info And I am wondering if anyone else has experienced chronic Urticaria with celiac.  We can’t seem to get it under control.

Oh my.  I certainly will do that.  Thank you.

Welcome! We've had others post on urticaria, and a magnesium supplement could help:

others have posted about this as well:

Mwalum,

I haven't had time to respond until now.....

I am always doing research for one thing or another......and this topic has come up before...

So I have some information that might help you.

Urticaria commonly known as hives can be a sign of Low Vitamin D levels.

Here is some research that might help you.

Entitled "Relationship between vitamin D and chronic spontaneous urticaria: a systematic review"

https://ctajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13601-018-0234-7

Hives can be a sign of a thyroid disorder as well.

Cold Urticaria has been studied in Celiac disease.

Here is the research about it.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18447142/

See also this nice article about how Vitamin D treats Hives...

Entitled "UNMC study: Vitamin D provides relief for those with chronic hives"

https://www.unmc.edu/newsroom/2014/02/17/unmc-study-vitamin-d-provides-relief-for-those-with-chronic-hives-2/

You might also try taking a B-Complex, Magneisum (which is a Co-Factor for Vitamin D) and some Zinc which is an important immune regulator.

All the above play a role in how our immune system works and can help down regulate inflammation in the body.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

2 Timothy 2: 7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included.

Thank you Thank you!  I have read all those articles you sent me and am starting slowly to increase my Vitamin D intake.  Your advice was most appreciated.

I suffer from hives that appear with no obvious causes. The last allergist I saw made the conclusion it was caused by my Celiacs. You may think you're gluten free but keep in mind the reality of cross contamination. I was at the town office recently. The clerk was processing my paperwork when i noticed she had a bagle on her desk. It's so easy to get exposed

Hello!  I have had skin problems caused by Celiac.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis.  I've also had hives and eczema.  

Hives can be caused by deficiencies in Vitamin B12 or iron.  

Even though you're gluten free, that doesn't mean you are eating and absorbing enough micronutrients.  Eating a nutrient dense diet and supplementing with vitamins and minerals might be beneficial.  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies. A nutritionist may help ensure you're getting nutrient dense foods.

Hope this helps!

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Good point. I will go to the pharmacy to ask who is the provider of this Augmentin and i'll contact them. The problem is i need to know about it very fast cuz i am already delaying the antibiotics administration. My little girl is not afraid of injections but i cannot say she likes them. It's normal. We did choose the syrup solutions because it was the easiest. Of course where there are flavors added...the mighty gluten may be present or not. Thanks a lot for your time and for the reply! 👏

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      You can always just double up or triple up on whatever gluten free chewable multivitamin product you may already be using. That should cover the bases. Celiacs need the same vitamins and minerals as non celiacs, just in higher doses to compensate for less efficient absorption. Are you wanting to boost any particular vitamins or minerals? I seriously doubt you will find a vitamin product specifically designed for celiac kids. There just isn't a big enough market for such a product to provide the incentive for a company to invest in such a product line.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Sicilygirl, I had lost a great amount of weight, felt depressed, and had no appetite early on.  I found that taking Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine extremely helpful.   Doctors routinely check B12 and Vitamin D, but they fail to test for deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine, because blood tests for other vitamins are not accurate measures of deficiencies.   Low Thiamine can result in depression, anxiety, unintentional weight loss, loss of appetite, and  emotional lability (quickly changing emotions and moods), and gastrointestinal symptoms (gastrointestinal Beriberi).  These symptoms of low thiamine can be easily brushed aside and contributed to other things.  The best way to tell if one is low in thiamine us to take it and look for health improvement.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  No harm, no foul for trying it.   I took a B 50 Complex along with 300 mg Benfotiamine twice a day with the first two meals of the day.  A one a day multivitamin does not provide sufficient amounts to overcome the  malabsorption of celiac disease and correct low vitamin levels stored inside cells.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so any extra or unabsorbed is easily excreted in urine.  The eight B vitamins work together.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  If there's not sufficient thiamine, the other B vitamins are not utilized and not stored inside cells.  Thiamine is needed for iron absorption.  Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D. We need more Thiamine when we are physically stressed by illness, emotionally stressed, and physically active.  Coping with Celiac covers all three.  Thiamine stored inside cells can become depleted within three days to three weeks.  Symptoms can change depending on how much thiamine is absorbed from your diet.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an eighty percent increase in brain activity, so symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  The brain just thinking can use as much thiamine as leg muscles use running a marathon.  Mitochondria become sick and die without sufficient Thiamine.     Doctors aren't required to take many nutrition courses in their training period.  (Twenty hours of nutrition education out of seven years at medical schools funded by pharmaceutical companies.  Vitamins cannot be patented, so doctors cannot make money by prescribing vitamins like they make money by prescribing pharmaceutical drugs.).    I started feeling better within a very short period of time after taking Benfotiamine and a B Complex.  I also took magnesium, because thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.   Giving the body the vitamins and minerals it needs to function will increase your health.
