Oh my goodness. Does anybody have a quick fix to this disgusting side effect of celiac.s I broke out with a huge fever blister looking thing, my doctor told me they are related to gluten, So i am assuming that I got gluted some how. I think kissing my b/f who had just eaten 2 hearly slices of pizza. So frustered ! It hurts and its itchy and its big and gross and right on my mouth. Quick fix advice or even a little sympothy lol!! Kidding on the sympothy. Thanx Guys!!!!

I don't have a remedy, but I am giving sympathy! Those blisters hurt beyond belief!

If this is actually a fever blister/cold sore, there are fairly new over-the-counter remedies that can help. I forget the name but ask your pharmacist.

I never knew that cold sores were gluten-related, used to get them all the time triggered by sun exposure until I started using sunscreen lip balm.

I had a similar experience recently. I don't know if I'd been glutened or not, but it was a nasty cold sore.

I used some hydrocortosone cream. It cooled it, and helped it heal.

Good luck

I find that abreva does a pretty good job. If your blisters are anything like mine, be militant and don't let them spread! I have a cream for impetigo that helps get rid of them, too. I think mine are mostly bacterial, though I never know.

My niece used to get horrible cold sores when she was young. She started taking Lysine for them and now she never has a problem. I don't know where she got that info from so I can't tell you if there is a good chance it'll help or may be just a last ditch effort.

      + bloodwork - endoscopy.. then + bloodwork and another + bloodwork.. next endoscopy??

      By trents · Posted

      Since she is asymptomatic and her first biopsy was negative I would not assume she has developed celiac disease. If her upcoming biopsy shows evidence of mucosal damage you have the firm evidence you need to trigger the gluten-free protocol at the preschool. There are other causes for mildly elevated tTG-IGA levels besides celiac disease. Studies are all over the map with this statistic but there is somewhere between a 10% and an almost 50% chance that your daughter will develop celiac disease since she has a first degree relative who is a celiac (her sister). The important thing in this scenario is to continue to monitor the situation via testing and symptoms. You are already doing this so kudos to you and your doctors. But one question I have is, are the blood samples being tested by the same lab in each case? Different labs build these tests a little differently and there is no industry standard. So, to compare her tTg-IGA test scores from one time to the other is only useful if the analysis is being handled by the same lab.

      My daughter was tested at her annual appointment when she turned 4 because her brother has celiac's. She has no symptoms. She eats a lot of gluten.  Blood work round #1 March 2024:  -          Endomysial IgA Ab: Negative  (Range: Negative) -          Gliadin IgA: <10.0 U/ml  (Range: <20.0 Negative) -          IGA: 93.43 mg/dL  (Range: 27.00 - 195.00) -          TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE IGA: 9.1 U/ml  (Range: <4.0) *** this was high. the range changes for the next one, but it was noted that it was about double the range.  We went for an endoscopy in May 2024 and it was negative.  Blood work round #2 October 2024: -          ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY TITER: 1:5 titer  (Range: <1:5) **flagged as high -          ENDOMYSIAL ANTIBODY SCR (IGA) W/REFL TO TITER: POSITIVE  (Range: NEGATIVE) **flagged because its not negative -          IMMUNOGLOBULIN A  TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA:  28.8U/mL  (Range: 22 – 140.  <15.0  =Antibody not detected. >or= 15.0 =Antibody detected.) **flagged high but the ratio/range was different and about double. Note says: Serological evidence for celiac disease is present. Blood work round #3 January 2025: -          TTG IGA: 28.1U/mL  (Range: 22 – 140.  <15.0  =Antibody not detected. >or= 15.0 =Antibody detected.) Now we are scheduling another endoscopy. My main concern right now is if the endoscopy is negative again…where does that leave us??? Public Schools and daycare will not feel her gluten free if its not an official diagnosis.

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.
