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.

      High Folate Levels

      I was diagnosed in November with celiacs and at the time had been tested for multiple vitamin deficiencies. During that time my folate level was 4ng/mL, Although I was told to take supplements, I ended up only taking them for a week or so as they made my stomach upset. I had my blood work redone yesterday and as the results came in I noticed that most of...

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      Welcome Connie Smitj, Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful? It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner. When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?

      High Folate Levels

      By Tyoung · Posted

      I was diagnosed in November with celiacs and at the time had been tested for multiple vitamin deficiencies. During that time my folate level was 4ng/mL, Although I was told to take supplements, I ended up only taking them for a week or so as they made my stomach upset. I had my blood work redone yesterday and as the results came in I noticed that most of my levels are now normal, but folate level is >24ng/mL. Has anyone else had similar results? If so were you able to figure out why or how to normalize them? I also have been having constant acid reflux since about two weeks into going gluten free (no acid reflux history prior to) that we are trying to get to the bottom of with no answers. Could that be related? Thank you!! Also wanted to not that I am not eating any gluten free processed food.

      Did you take a look at my pics that I uploaded?    These rashes is not itchy, but I have seen that people have this too that have celiac and it’s not itchy for them either. I have also heard that sulfur burps are a common things with celiac too.  Yes it can be something else too but it’s to much symptoms that I have that match with either gluten sensitivity or celiac.   Hopefully it’s just gluten intolerance and not celiac.  As I said before I have the gen type for celiac and diabetes typ 1 and the those diseases going hand in hand.    Thanks again Trent for your time to reply, and I wonder if any body else have kind of the same symptoms that I have?
