Hives And Celiac

Hi,

I had a positive blood test for coeliac disease a couple of weeks ago and am due to have the follow-up endoscopy next week. This is not such a big deal and am coping with it OK.

However around the same time I have been developing hives. Most of the time they are like little red spots that can itch like crazy, get inflamed if I scratch them and disappear about 20 minutes later. This has freaked me out a little, as the literature the doctor has given me doesn't say anything about hives being a symptom of coeliac disease. While self-diagnosing on the Internet, however, I found that they were a symptom of a related lymphoma disease.

Has anyone else had hives as part of their disease and/or could better explain the correlation with lymphoma? You would help put an anxious 32-year-old mind at rest.

Thanks,

Mark

There are a couple threads in the Related Disorders & Research room regarding Dermographia. That may be what you're talking about? In my case it started just before I was diagnosed. Someone suggested it might be related to damage to the mylen nerve sheath. It could be stress. It could be an allergic reaction. I don't know. I'd never heard about lymphoma being in any way related. In my case it does not respond to antihistamines. I've tried several. I wish I could be more help, but I haven't found any answers either.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. Interesting just had lunch with a friend here in Australia who is also a celiac and he had some sage advice 'wierd stuff happens'. He said he had all sorts of symptoms. particularly before he was diagnosed and he gave up wasting too much time and energy trying to get to the bottom of them. I think I might take a couple of deep breaths and follow his advice.

Thanks again,

Mark

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.
