Rash or tingling feel on inside of skin


Khmw

Recommended Posts

Khmw Newbie

I do have celiac disease, pots, and hoshimotos. I break out in water, under stress, my body at times will get a prickly tingling feel inside my skin if that makes sense. Almost like I can't stand the feel of my skin, my hair, clothing on me at all. Just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience?

I recall a prickly, itchy feeling that almost burned it itched so bad. Have you been exposed to gluten? Hopefully you're gluten-free.

Hi, Kathy!

Yes, I've had the prickily-tinglies under my skin where I couldn't stand clothing (especially polyester and synthetic blended materials).  I took to wearing my hair pinned up so it wouldn't be itchy on my neck and shoulders.  I took to avoiding hot showers.  

I found my prickily-tinglies were due to deficiencies in several B Complex vitamins.  Niacin, Thiamine, Pyridoxine and Cobalamine are especially important in nerve health.  Restoring these vitamins lost due to malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease can greatly improve those symptoms.

High dose Thiamine has relieved my POTS and improved Hashimoto's.  

Thiamine is extremely important because all the mitochondria in all the cells in our bodies require Thiamine to make energy so those cells can function properly.  

Supplementing while healing will speed recovery.  

Here's a couple of helpful studies...

Vitamin B1 deficiency in patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS)

Hope this helps!

      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!

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      @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.

      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?
