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.

      Yes, the TTG-IGG was positive but not the TTG-IGA.

      Test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For someone with celiac disease who might have extreme villi damage the term "cross-reactivity" gets thrown around a lot.  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      This test was positive according to the original post, so the next normal step would be a biopsy: TTG IGG - 9 U/mL (0-5 range) @Brown42186 Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By trents · Posted

      Connie, spinach is high in oxalates. Many celiacs do not tolerate oxalates well.  If you are still battling dermatitis herpetiformis, you may want to look into a low iodine diet as well as reviewing possible sources of gluten cross contamination.

      Do you eat outside your home, especially in restaurants, as this can be a source of cross-contamination. If you need to take dapsone still your diet may not be 100% gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
