I am not sure where to post this, so I will start here. I all of a sudden have this awful scaly rash like skin on my face. It seems to be irritated when i shower. My hair products dont have wheat in them and I use Dove Body Soap.

When I get out of the shower I have been using the Tropical Traditions that I got from jenvan. And that without a doubt doesnt have wheat in it. Should I make an appointment with a dermotologist?

Could be many non-Celiac related things. Did you change makeups recently? Do you have something on your fingers that is getting on your face? I heard of someone who broke out after scrap-booking because of the stuff on her fingers. If the weather extremely dry where you live? Do you have a new pillow case that needs to be washed? If your health plan is like mine, your rash will be gone before you can get into a dermatologist :lol:

Could it be rosacea? I was dx'd with it a few years ago and mine was scaly too - the doc said that wasn't typical, but it was still rosacea. I've found that sticking strictly to my dietary restrictions (no gluten, eggs, dairy or soy) has helped a LOT and using plain coconut oil on my face (not right out of the shower - let it calm down first) is the best thing for it.

I've had a terrible problem with rashes over the past few years. The red, scaly kind that got (gets) red after taking showers. It started out on my FEET and the rash came and went over a period of a year and eventually I started getting rashes on my legs, my face, stomach, arms, back, etc. While the rash has left my feet, and gotten better for the most part (it was horrible - all over my body for a good couple of years), I get the red, scaly rashes occasionally on my legs, and SOMETIMES on my face...now it's mostly concentrated on my stomach and comes and goes as it pleases. I have a great cream that I use...very strong and I prob. shouldn't use it too much, but I do try to use it sparingly. It's a hydrocortisone cream in a petroleum base. It's the ONLY thing that will touch my rash. I have found that avoiding certain foods does help greatly, but sometimes the rash is so stubborn and exacerbated by other factors, that I need a little help sometimes.

BTW - I've been to several, different specialists about this and nobody seems to know what causes the rashes. Boo...

:(

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      By trents · Posted

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
