Angular Chellitis Or Growing White Spots Anyone?

Anyone with diagnosed celiac get these annoying corner of mouth cracks? I have had them before sometimes when I diet, sometimes not and don't know if its the gluten free diet doing it again or is it some celiac thing? Does gluten free diet not have enought vitamins? I eat plenty of veg, fruits and nuts, meats, rice, etc...One of my docs once said it was a vit def, so I always take vit and it goes away eventually. Just wondering if any of you suffer from this.

Also have a growing bright white spot on my leg, don't know what it is, just noticed it when we went to the football game and I went to put suncreen on. Maybe vitiligo? Have other spots too.

Another question, does anyone out there get crazy hypoglycemic episodes? I noticed while on the gluten diet I did not get any, but have had them so many times before that I always carry a snack on hand. Is it just the diet or is that some celiac thing? It usually happens after I have eaten one meal in between meals. I call them hunger shakes, but its more than that, its a full body sweat, heart racing, feeling out of it, shaky and very desperate. Once I did take by blood sugar after I had orange juice during an episode and it was 58. Pretty sure that's not normal. No doc has been able to help me with it or explain it, except say, stay away from sugary foods and always have a snack on you.

the cracks at the corners of your mouth a likely from a def. of one of the B vitamins, riboflavin i think, so a good gluten free B complex might be a good idea

Can't speak to the white spot, that definitely sounds like something you should get a doc to look at.

As far as the mouth cracks and hypoglycemia those two used to be things I would constantly experience before going gluten free. My fits of hypoglycemia were so bad that I would have difficulties doing any sort of interstate driving because I knew that my mind would start shutting off unless I had constant access to nutrients. My brain would simply shut off any could only think about acquiring more food if I went longer than an hour or two in between meals. I've stress tested this since going gluten free to see just how long I can wait between meals before having my mind and body start shutting down and I actually can't get my body to go into that state at all!

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      In the US you don't need a referal to see a specialist if you are self pay. PPO you can go directly to any specialist or doctor you prefer. HMO you’ll choose a primary doctor to manage all your care. Pricing of the insurance will vary, as will prescriptions coverage.

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      By lsky · Posted

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wrensmith · Posted

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.
