Dermographia ... Celiac Related?

I have a condition known as dermographia (skin writing). Pressure or varying temperature on the skin causes hives to occurr. I have to take antihistimines before bed and when I awaken.

Gluten gives me IBS. I've suspected that it may have something to do with dermographia as well, but my dermotologist says "No".

I just had a blood test for Celiac and the IgA returned positive. I know there are a number of different IgA readings, so I'm not sure if it means anything ... or what to do next.

Has anyone heard of dermographia being related to Celiac?

I'm new to this board and would appreciate any response.

My daughter has it - it is not related to celiac. It is an immune reponse like celiac, so someone with any of the hundreds of immune conditions would be at higher risk of developing it - but not exclusively celiacs.

Because dermatographia may be triggered by many different things and because it can be aggravated by stress and other emotions, it's sometimes difficult

I have had dermatographia since childhood. I have not had it appear since I was gluten-free about 6 months. For me it was related to the celiac.

I wonder if that's what I had that for 20-25 years, just didn't know there was a name for it. I just said that I had weird skin. I could write my name on my forearm and it would swell up. Usually gone in 30 min though. Haven't had it much since gluten free.

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

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?

      By DMCeliac · Posted

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
