Ceranwrap?


Metoo

I am on rash breakout #2 since going gluten free...this time is by far the worse. I thought it was better than the other times because I saw less initial bumps...but boy was I wrong.

Anyways, has anyone tried wrapping themselves in ceranwrap?

Mine is on my pinky, and as of now I am up to 25% of my pinky is all peeled off looks like I am going to make it to 50% soon very soon, and it hurts pretty much from my top knuckle down to the base all day, putting lotion on it seems to soothe it for 1 second....I was thinking maybe if I lathered it up, then wrapped it in ceranwrap like a burn and kept the air from it, I could keep the pain away a little longer.

I have used those gel burn dressings on my legs. I cut the dressing (a little messy)then covered with waterproof tape. It felt really good. I think you can get smaller ones that are "all-in-one" on a bandaid type thing.

I tried the wrap on my legs, but what I did was place wet gauze first, then the saran wrap. A nurse I know said not to put any kind of lotion or steroid cream under the wrap.

Good luck.

Funny you should ask...

I have a weird thing on my pinkie.

I find covering it helps, even a simple band-aid. I put a bit of Shea butter/olive oil salve on the band aid and it helps even more. I bought some latex kitchen gloves the other day for washing dishes since that seems to aggrivate it.

The waterproof bandages work great if I can get them to stick. If I get the salve on the sticky part or if my hand is wet it won't. Band-aids are easier.

Hadn't thought of Saran wrap, but why not. I'd try it - just change it frequently and let it air out.

I use gloves whenever I can - washing up, cleaning at home, hard-on-the-hands jobs at work (cotton gloves). I could tell everyone thought I looked weird wearing the white cotton gloves but now I am working easier and faster. No more hand damage.

I strongly recommend you have a think about what you do during you normal day and think about what gloves could help. Avoid "powdered" - they are often gluten-ed. Buy the powder free type.

I keep bandaids in my pocket all day.

I wouldn't wrap with Saranwrap. Your skin needs to breathe. I used to use non-latex fabric bandaids with a bit of neosporin. The glove advice is also good. I use thrift store cotton or real thin leather when I am working with stuff and non-latex unpowdered when doing wet things. I get the non-powdered disposables in my local pharmacey.

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.
