thanks so much for th replies! my acne is getting a little better, not too much though. my mom also researched something about salicylic acid and how you can be allergic to that as well. unfortunately it is the active ingredient in most, if not all, of the acne treatment washes that i have been trying. -not saying that i have a salicylic acid intolerance, but it is definitely possible, so i have been trying a different line of washes by Aveno without that specific acid in it. working so far...

Watch out for aveeno products, I have found oats in all of them. I also was reacting from salicylic acid acne med. It is also n a lot of beauty products. My face is still going crazy!

I am 3 1/2 wks into gluten free diet, and trying to figure out other foods that are still bothering me. Seeing Allergist tomorrow. I hope I get some results. Anyway, having major cystic acne on my face. Devastating, after having to change your diet so drastically!

Nicole, my 18 yr old dd went gluten-free in the last few months. Her head kept itching. Her shampoo had wheat in it and so did the new bottle she bought. Then she glutened herself with a tortilla and her face broke out along the hairline and her back too. Be sure to check everything for wheat. I hope yours clears up soon. I know its hard at your age.

Hello!

Im 23 and have had acne since I was like 8. I discovered that I have gluten intolerance about 2.5 months ago and I havent noticed a huge difference with my acne or my seborrheic dermatitis (sp) on my scalp and sometimes ear (I know.. gross!). One thing though, is that the dermatitis seems to be ever so gradually getting a little better, as well as the acne. I still do get breakouts though, but they seem to maybe be getting a little better. As with some of the other skin conditions associated with gluten intolerance, Ive heard that it can take a few months for things to clear up. Im hoping thats the case... I have purple scars from having cystic acne all over my face!

We'll just keep our fingers crossed that the diet can help our acne as well!

      Confused with test results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      There is plenty of gluten food that is unplatable also. The trouble in restaurants is that wheat,  like the Frank's Hot Sauce commercial; "They throw that bleep on everything." In my opinion, the underlying problem is compromised immune system due to vitamin D deficiency and Green Revolution modern wheat.  50% of the industrialized world are vitamin D deficient and we are urged to avoid sun and limit oral vitamin D intake to the minimum.   Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity became an official diagnosis only 10 years after modern wheat was marketed.

      Does Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endos

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      I think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).  think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and repeat the colonoscopy/endoscopy. My point is that trialing a gluten-free diet does not eliminate the possibility of getting valid celiac retesting at a late date if you are willing to engage with the gluten challenge.
