Red Sore Bumps On Buttocks

I was diagnosed with celiac the end of Oct. 2008. I had very vague gi issues mostly bad persistant heartburn and constipation which at the time I thought was just normal and anemia. I have been gluten free since then with the exception of a couple of mishaps. I also recently tried gluten free oats in some cookies and can not tolerate those either. They made me burp excessively, heartburn and stomach cramping. I have now developed a cluster of raised, red, swollen and painful bumps on my buttocks. I used to periodically get little red bumps there for years and just figured it was heat rash. I am beginning to wonder if it was from gluten. I hardly ever have it any more until this new thing cropped up. Is it possible to develop DH or another form of rash after being gluten free? I would suspect it is from getting glutened. Is it possible it could be a reaction form the cookies with oats in that I ate around June 19th or would it be more likely to be from something more recent? It is quite bothersome and when my clothes rub against it is is sore. Any thoughts?

Hi Roda,

I had bumps like that on my buttocks for YEARS. My parents always told me it was a "heat rash" (I can't believe how much our stories have in common). It was really uncomfortable to sit on hard surfaces <_< especially the bathtub. The bumps went away on the gluten-free diet (!!)... and then I developed a new rash. It's not DH (I had a biopsy)... for a number of reasons I'm now pretty sure it's urticarial vasculitis. I have an appointment with my dermatologist later this month.

Incidentally, I was glutened at a restaurant a couple of weeks ago and a few of those "bumps" on my buttocks returned :( I agree with you that gluten is probably the culprit.

I get that rash in the groin area but only if I'm glutened on consecutive days. I was using a flavoring every day in my coffee that brought it back and on another occasion, it was stevia packet that had wheat.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
