Confused About Gluten Related Rash


gluten Tag

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! This is my first post. :rolleyes:

I just recently went gluten-free and cannot believe the difference in how I feel. Seriously, I haven't felt well for like...20 years.

Problem: For about two years I have had this persistent and itchy rash. I don't know if it's DH or not though as it only occurs on my upper arms, back, and under my chin and near my ears. It is SO itchy! It starts like a water blister and then erupts about a day or two later at which point it's painful.

I wasn't sure if the rash was related to gluten but it has improved since going gluten-free. I got glutened on Tgiving and it has returned with a vengence. I don't get a ton of it but what I do get is itchy itchy and painful.

Thoughts? <_<

That's exactly what I get with gluten. It tooks weeks to clear up but once it did I don't get it now unless I have an ongoing secret gluten spy. I have to eat that product repeatedly to have the rash come out. If I see that rash, I need to start investigating where it came from, 'cause it's something I'm ingesting every day. This spring I had it from the coffee syrups I used, from the caramel coloring. They shouldn't have bothered me but the rash doesn't lie! Stopped the syrup, no more rash.

So say good bye to itch and bumps, eventually, and congrats on feeling 20 years younger!

Thanks so much for your reply. I hope it goes away...kinda miserable. ;)

      Wow. I mean, I REALLY don't want to give up beer, but I NEVER cheat. I get caught (glutenized in my vernacular), but I never cheat. I didn't even know that was a thing...

      PS - Many new celiacs report that they can go gluten-free, with the exception of giving up beer. That seems to be a bridge too far from many celiacs, and may be why nearly 20% cheat on their diets:

      For those with celiac disease we know that there is a huge range in sensitivity, for example we've had many members here who report that even smelling wheat bread cooking in a bakery, for example a bakery in a supermarket, triggers an immediate gluten reaction that can last days or longer. Is there science to back this up--not that I've seen. Does this mean that it can't happen? Since it does seem to happen to some people, I can't say that there isn't something real happening to these folks.  Similarly there seems to be celiacs who can drink even regular beers, many of which have detectable gluten at under 20ppm, without issues, and many drink gluten reduced beers made from barley on a daily basis without issues, and without elevated antibodies or damaged villi. I also know that some celiacs report getting very sick from a single sip of gluten reduced beer. To be on the safe side it's probably best to stick with a naturally gluten-free beer, however, many of them lack the real beer taste, thus, some celiacs cheat on their diets and just drink regular beer. In this case I think having a choice is important, and drinking a gluten reduced option would be better than regular beer.

      Actually, gluten intolerance and celiac disease are not the same. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, while gluten intolerance is a broader term that can include Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS involves gluten-related symptoms without the autoimmune or allergic response seen in celiac disease. The terms are often used inconsistently, which can cause confusion.
