This is kind of amazing to me. No gluten, no soy, and hardly any dairy.

Pretty sure that I am at least NCGI. I get better and better every day. I wanted the diagnosis, but I can live with the physical proof.

I'm not so sure you're NCGI. I'd tend to say you have Celiac disease. DH = celiac. It's pretty simple. Congratulations on clearing up! YAY for you!biggrin.gif Enjoy it.

Now remember, dh can present even when you're gluten-free any old time it decides to until all the antibodies are out of your skin. It seems though that you got an early start on the whole thing though before you had a full scale outbreak all over your body or most of it. Let's hope that means that it will take less time for the antibodies to clear out of your skin. Just be very, very careful not to get glutened or cc'd --- it will set you back & those antibodies will rear up again like nobody's business. I refuse to even take any chance at all & will not eat out anywhere! There will be time for that once the antibodies get out of my skin & until that time I'm going to be such a good little girl. Ever vigilant not to get cc'd or glutened.

Drink lots of water & keep up the good work. I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif Gives me lots of hope.

Thank you. I know I have to be patient. I just hope a year from now, I feel like myself again.

My stomach problems are still a work in progress but I am thinking that once the antibodies are out of my system, the rash will be completely gone. So the more it fades, the better the GI stuff will get. Wishful thinking...

Hang in there. I know you can do it! I didn't have much GI symptoms but I sure as heck have/had neuro symptoms & psychological effects & other physical things. My rash is still a battle in progress but getting better than it once was for sure! But I tell you true --- I am feeling so much better physically & mentally. I had become a royal "B" you know? Seriously! And that was NOT my personality. I was snapping at nothing! No, not snapping--- biting HARD! That's gone now. It sure feels good to have that gone! And my body is feeling better.

So now you know. The proof is in your skin & in your eyes & in your body. You have your dx. The medical practitioners will have to catch up to us.laugh.gif If they refuse to acknowledge celiac then we are way ahead of them. I do feel that it won't be too long in the future when there will be a diagnostic test for those of us who have gone gluten free & refuse to gluten ourselves & thereby damage ourselves just to get an official dx.

Yey !!!!!! Your skin is looking pretty good. No doubt your GI will come around in time too. Mine was perhaps opposite to you ??? My GI/neuro started clearing up almost immediately. My DH was full blown so I am a year down the track I still have spots appearing around my body and although I've had two whole days this week (so so excited!!!) of itch free, the nights still bug me. But I have greatly improved the past couple of months.

Perhaps you should also consider some other foods that affect your GI? Do you keep a food/symptom diary?

My serious GI symptoms aren't bad, like the heartburn, stomach rumbling, and indigestion stopped first, but sometimes some foods I eat make my insides feel like they are burning still. My anxiety went away and my mood is better. I was pretty health conscious before all this, so I have always kept food diaries. I was looking through some old ones and I can see why I got sick. Gluten pretty much dominated ever meal. Whole wheat wraps, deli thins, whole grain waffles, and Wheatables. Those were my ultimate downfall.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Abscesses on legs

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.

      By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% 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!
