Can Rashes In General Be From Celiac

My 4 year old daughter has been suffering from terrible rashes on the inside of her arms (inside of elbow), on inside wrists and back of knees. She is now complaining of stomach pain after eating inside her belly button.

Is only the DH rash associated with Celiac or could this be too? I'm going crazy. It goes through phases of getting red and raised, then is will kind of peel, then calm down and then start all over again. Never goes away completely.

I have a rash right now that my doctor thinks is related to candida. Have you looked in to that?

Hi Mia--

When my younger son was about that age, he had eczema behind both knees. It was very itchy, and sounds a lot like what you describe. The doctor prescribed a cream called Elocon, and it worked very well. Eczema does tend to reoccur.

Hope you get it figured out, and she's feeling better soon! :)

Like Mango, I get all kinds of skin rashes from all of my food intolerances- not just exclusively from gluten.

The last several months I had this raised red bumpy patch on the underside of my elbow, like where your daughter gets them, and it did the same thing. It was lots of little raised bumps in the shape of an irregular circle and then it would get dry and sort of peel and then calm down, but not completely go away. I had been eating sliced deli turkey from Wild Oats everyday for lunch for 2 years and I began to wonder if there were hidden additives in it so I decided to clear it out of my diet. I haven't had the rash since and that is the only diet change I made.

Of course every body is different, but it possibly could be an undetected allergy.

Was it related to food or just something he grew out of? I am worried about putting some of those creams on her so young. I feel like her body is reacting to something and I just wish I could figure it out.

Thanks for the posts!

In his case, it didn't seem to be connected to anything he was eating--and yes, he did grow out of it.

      Neurological/Nervous System Symptoms

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello, I’ve been gluten free for over a year now. I now know and understand that I have been celiac my whole life and my body has been battling without me knowing. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else after diagnosis but I feel like my immune is system is stuck fighting. My mouth is always tingling, I always see stars in my vision, my heart is always pounding, I am always shakey, I get super warm at times. I also cant get rid of this frequent urination either. I definitely notice improvements since going gluten free but its like my body does not have enough power itself to push through this stage. I have an appointment with my doctor this Thursday. But I am wondering if anyone else has experienced symptoms like this and if there is any cause for concern that my nervous system is damaged.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Hi there, I have a few questions about my daughter who is 2 and has been gluten-free for two weeks following her diagnosis please! She was originally diagnosed due to having faecal impaction and chronic constipation. Since starting the gluten-free diet, we are still on daily movicol but she is pooping a lot more than before. Could this finally be her naturally clearing out the backlog as her digestive system is actually starting to work again? Secondly the colour of her stools has recently been a bit pinkish. It does not look like blood, but I wondered if this is normal again for a colour shift post diet change? Finally, she has had a very large tummy due to the coeliac. How long does this take to go down? Thank you!

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      By gregoryC · Posted

      Everything I had was included in the cruise fare. The coffee at cafe al baico is not but,  ALL baked goods are! If you want a coffee, latte, or espresso the charge is $4 to $5. Not bad for some excellent coffee! The buffet and spa cafe has free coffee and drinks. Also large selection of the best ice cream, sorbet, and gelato at sea for free!  with Celebrity I don’t feel like I have a handicap.
