Itching

Thanks for all of your encouragement. Question, is itching on the fingers and all over the feet a symptom of Celiac Disease or is that just an allergic reaction to wheat? I know there is a corralation, but I want to hear it from some experienced Celiac sufferers.

Also, do most Celiac sufferers avoid dairy? Does that include kefir, butter, margerine and plain yogurt?

Thanks,

Joe

I don't avoid dairy. As long as it is gluten free I can have it. Alot of celiacs can have dairy. People with celiac can have lactose intolerance which I used to have. This happens because of the damage done to the villi. When they are healed by going gluten free that usually clears up. I no longer have a problem with it since going gluten free.

When you get itching do you ever get any bumps that come it? If you do that can be DH which comes from gluten intolerance and there is a section on that on this forum you can also read more about. They are extremely itching and sometimes can hurt.

Hope this helps a bit :D

Prior to going gluten-free the palms of my hands and the bottom of my feet would itch a lot. They used to sweat a lot also. Now that doesn't seem to be the problem it used to be. Forgot all about that one until you posted the question.

Dairy doesn't seem to be too much of a problem for me. I don't drink milk though. The lactose seems to cause gas and stomach upset. I eat a few ounces of cheese just about every day and feel okay. Cottage cheese and ice cream seem fine as long as I don't over do it.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By trents · Posted

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Tyoung · Posted

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).
