Blisters On Fingers

Does anyone get blisters on their fingers? I have blisters that bubble split and crack on four of my fingers but none of the others. The same ones on both hands. It is puzzling. I've been gluten free for 10 months now.

Does anyone else have similar symptoms?

Me. I do. I have a finger where I get these things that are itchy and sore and you can squeeze them and liquid comes out but it's not like a pimple. It's like a blister. I asked the pharmacist about it and he said it looked like eczema so I tried my daughter's eczema cream on it which works in a couple of days. The cream is called Elidel.

I wonder how many others get this? Is this DH?

I get something similar and don't know anyone else who does. Except I notice that it happens after long periods of exposure to the cold. Painful tiny blisters only on my fingers...I have Raynaud's though - but this will be the first winter that I'm gluten-free...so we'll see what happens. Does this happen to anyone else??

Yes, I get those little blisters on my fingers. If I don't open them they'll dry up, and get to be painful sores. When it gets to that, I have to rip them off, sometimes several times, before they stay away. If I don't do anything they spread. I've had that problem since 1978 (I know that, because it first appeared when I was in Montreal for a year).

But since going gluten-free, and especially after eliminating all the other foods I am intolerant to, I don't get them nearly as often any more. It seems that humidity is a factor with me (and there are mold spores in humid air that make me sick, so why not trigger skin problems, too).

It's dishydrotic eczema. I've had it for years and it is caused by my food allergies. It really flares up bad when I am exposed to soy or dairy. Maybe gluten intolerance can cause it too, or maybe you have food allergies on top of celiacs.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.

      Hi! Yes I have, endoscopy didn’t show anything other than celiacs. I’ve been wondering if it’s possibly that my intestines are so damaged that the wine is irritating because they have not fully healed. Very odd, I felt better for a few weeks and then all the sudden started noticing the pain again after the weekends when I drink wine (don’t drink during the week). I’ve also heard that dull left side pain isn’t a common symptom with celiacs so my diagnosis was surprising to doctor as well though the pain did initially subside with gluten-free diet.
