Probably Off Topic, But Have To Ask This Question...

I am here to ask this question. I might not able to get answers or any responses back from any of you.

I noticed that acnes and pimples appears frequenently when I am eating plenty of gluten in almost every meals. Even, My proasrsis flares up like crazy and I started to getting extremely dried skin on kneecaps and elbowes that seem so built up that dont shred normally.

I am bit loss at this since I hasnt been tested yet. I am just mumbling over this since i already did gluten free diet for a week and my skin clears up bit better and I sticked to wholesome foods rather than processed food. This could be just a funky thing?

I started to eat increased intake of gluten in past couple of weeks and noticed the problems starting come back with strong vengance. its a heavy comeback and causes me to have some discomfort with pimples and acnes on my chin. I feel so itchy on my upper back that i seem cant stop itch even it woke me up during at nighttime to jsut itch. i feel like ughs about it my skin dont look horrible but at certain points in past years, it seem it look bad but they fade away when i dont eat too much of breads and pastas.

I dont know if be gluten free diet really do make a difference with all celiac or gluten intolerant's skins or it would just be stress which i hasnt really been stressed out much lately. just a normal light stress as part of daily life.

Just would like to have the opinions on this to see if it does associates with eating lot of gluten?

thanks you for your time for reading this..

well....if your skin responds poorly to stress, then absolutely gluten-free would help that. If your body doesn't do well with gluten, then you are causing yourself stress every time you eat it. Removing gluten would remove that stress, and your skin will reflect that.

Areas that itch a great deal may be DH. If you can go to a dermatologist and have them biopsy the skin next to a lesion to check for it. A diagnosis of DH is a diagnosis of celiac.

Raven gives good advice. Listen to her. And if you go to a derm who is experienced in dh & get a positive biopsy then you won't have to gluten yourself anymore for any future tests.

I get this same reaction when I eat gluten...breaking out, itching on my stomach, dry skin, and increased psoriasis. However, I do not have DH. From what I've read, you typically do not have DH AND psoriasis, but it is possible none the less. I could just be your body's reaction to eating gluten.

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By Levi · Posted

      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most.

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.
