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.

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!

      Abscesses on legs

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Abscesses on legs

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.

      By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% gluten-free diet?

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!
