Dyshidrotic Eczema

Greetings,

I have been diagnosed with dyshidrotic eczema in the past and have had it on my feet on and off for the last 8 years. I stumbled upon celiac's disease as a possible cause. In the last two years it has spread to my knees and elbows. It is definitely worse in the summer and is a little more bearable in the winter. Sometimes it mostly clears up and I can only find one or two areas. I tried being mostly gluten free for about a week and it seems to be clearing up on my feet. However I decided to go back on gluten to go ahead and try to have it diagnosed so that I can know for sure. I have been back on gluten for about 2 days now and my feet still seem to be doing well. Do you have to be on gluten again for a while in order for the symptoms to return? The eczema is the only symptom I appear to have (if it's even related to celiac's at all...) Has anyone else ever experienced these symptoms? I would love to hear any thoughts that people might have. Thanks so much!

I'm pretty sure this is the rash I had on my knees 2 years ago. It went away eventually with medicated cream, but I've discovered that i'm gluten intolerant or a celiac. (I haven't had any tests, but I'm positive I am.)

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
