You are not annoying and if anything being vocal is inspiring.. I feel very awful for my family who are not willing to let go of the poison they're eating (gluten), and I wish I was as vocal as you but I'm not that strong personality-wise.

I posted this thread out of joy to begin with but I think that providing others with information on different cases and symptoms is far more productive and helpful.

Maybe annoying is a strong word :lol: , but my family does not listen. I wrote a letter to them all (over 50 relatives), provided information about gluten intolerance and celiac, and they know how this thing tried to kill me for several years, yet they do not listen. Only my Mom went gluten-free. She feels great!

That is the beauty of such threads, Dani--you never know what someone will see and take away from it!

I am so glad you joined the forum! -- and I hope you are more accustomed to the many acronyms we use now BTW? :)

You guys are lucky. I get mine every month but their super late and hurt like he double hockey sticks. Ever since my celiac disease got triggered, they have gotten worse than even after i had my son. Has that happened to anyone else. Everything is super tender (upper area) and the cramping goes all the way to my thighs and feel like beginning of labor sometimes =/ the worst is probably ny irritability. I get irritable for a week before I get it and can't stand anybody. I wonder if its normal. I gave never gotten them this bad until I got sick and went on the gluten free diet.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
