Itchy

I have no idea if this is gluten related and I don't see how it could be but who knows. If I get any its pure accident/cc'd kind of thing. Regardless I can't deal with this, its driving me crazy...

I get an "itch" on my neck then my nose then my back then my arm then my tummy then my head then my leg and so on. Its a tingle and sometimes it just a tickle, it isn't for the most party itchy like a bug bite. Sometimes it is an all out itch and sometimes its from my hair or my shirt touching me.

Once it starts it keeps going. Its been going on for the last hour but I am going to try and go to sleep and I probably will be able to. It might come back in the morning or not until noon etc..

Does anyone have any idea what causes this and how to stop it?

TIA

I have the itchy problem also. 3 years ago I had an overall rash before glutten free, Now I mainly get it in my ears and right under my hairline on the back of my neck. I did eat an organic dark chocolate bar (Hershey) - maybe that was it.

I have noticed stress, dairy and sweets seem to trigger this. The itchy ears is the most miserable part. It seems to be worse at bedtime.

I am an itchy person too. Last winter I had started to eat wheat again some before I went totally gluten free. I itched constantly. It was horrible. But after going off gluten I am soooo much better. I do also itch if I eat too much sugar. I noticed that a long time ago. With sugar it would be on the inside of my thighs, But with gluten it would be my buttocks, lower back, sides, and armpits. My breasts and neck sometimes too.

EXACTLY what I was looking for to describe it, the traveling itchies! No rash either.

I realized today that I had been glutened somehow over the last day or so. The traveling itchies must have been a reaction. Now I just have to figure out where it came from (sometimes I think that is impossible and just move on to the next day!).

If I eat wheat in certain forms I get itchy rashes, like eczema.

I've also noticed that if I don't take a shower each night before bed,

it's like my skin gets itchy & tingly, not sure why. I could have very

well taken a shower that morning, but if I don't take one at night

I normally get this. Drives me nuts. Not sure if its my skin needing

to cool off, or what.

      Muscle Twitching

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
