Itchy Skin From Soap With Gluten?

Hello, I have been gluten free for about 7 months and have never experienced dermatitis herpetiformis, not even before I found out I have celiac disease. This week, I broke out into an incredibly itchy rash all over my body. My arms, back, inner thighs and back of my thighs, and even my tush have little bumps all over and I can't stop scratching. I then realized around the same time this started, I ran out of my usual soap and used some hotel soap I had from a recent trip. The soap has little pieces of grains, etc.. in it and I realized that this is probably what caused th rash. My question is, now that I have stopped using the soap, will the rash go away by itself or do I have to get treatment for it? Has anyone else had this kind of experience? It's just really upsetting b/c just when I was finally getting used to my gluten free lifestyle and accepting the changes I have to make, anotherr sympton comes along and is keeping me up all night.

Hoping someone has some good advise or encouragement!

Thanks,

Erica

      How are you doing, @sadiec123? Did you get through the holidays alright? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies? Many newly diagnosed Celiacs are low in Vitamin D and many of the B vitamins like thiamine. Thiamin insufficiency can cause weight loss and loss of appetite (anorexia) as well as affect mood. Benfotiamine has been shown...

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      I agree, @Sarah Marie, it's best to keep eating gluten and get on the doctor's cancellation list. Some people have extreme symptoms when reintroducing gluten after a brief abstinence. Be sure she consumes six slices of bread or gluten-y equivalent a day in the two weeks prior to the endoscopy. There are different amounts of gluten in different products...

      Wow! That's really good information. I have noticed that my Celiac symptoms are ever increasingly seeming like allergy symptoms as well. Stuffed up head, horse throat post navel drip symptoms. I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand how to follow the links you sent for the expanded version of non-histamine diet? Are those Instagram addresses? Because I don't...

      Canker sores can be more frequent if deficient in zinc, Thiamin B1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B6, Cobalamine B12, Folate B9, iron and Vitamin D. Following a low histamine paleo diet helps heal. Mast cells in our body make histamine and release it as a part of the inflammation process. Foods that contain high histamine levels can make inflammation...

Thank you so much for that reply. To my knowledge, I'm okay on all of those things. Although I don't think that I've been tested for zinc. I do know when the flu's going around I try taking zinc mixed with quercetin but that seems to put my autoimmune into overdrive. As does some of these over-the-counter things which are recommended for traveling. To boost the immune to prevent sickness. Also things like echinacea and elderberry which you would think would be innocuous

      Canker sores can be more frequent if deficient in zinc, Thiamin B1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B6, Cobalamine B12, Folate B9, iron and Vitamin D.   Following a low histamine paleo diet helps heal.  Mast cells in our body make histamine and release it as a part of the inflammation process.  Foods that contain high histamine levels can make inflammation worse.  Mast cells get "itchy triggers" and can release histamine when exposed to some spices and foods.  The vitamins listed above are also required to clear histamine along with Vitamin C.  Following a low histamine diet like @Mari and @Blue Roanand keeping a food journal like @Blue Roan does are excellent ways to travel on our Celiac journey.
