jdonliturgy posted an update in the group Celiac Disease Advocate Network
My late-onset celiac disease is mostly under control through a gluten-free diet, but my most bothersome symptom is frequent flares of red skin rashes in patches on my neck and around my eyes. The rash is flat (no blisters) but itchy and peely and lasts several days until the next flare. Hydrocortisone cream works to make it go away, but I worry…[Read more]

Thanks jdonliturgy for joining us! For symptom relief, there is always systematic (oral) corticosteroids (like prednisone) or other corticosteroid creams like Emuaidmax, but the best solution would be isolate the cause of the rashes themselves. How do you know that the rashes are related to Celiac disease, especially if you have already been on…[Read more]

I suspect the connection because I never had this particular rash until my celiac disease became active with gastric symptoms – and it has slowly been getting worse. These slightly scaly patches never fully go away, although the redness and itchiness responds to hydrocortisone, and they are slowly spreading. It seems to go in flares every few…[Read more]

Thanks for mentioning Emuaidmax – I may have to try it.

do u think seeing a gastro is needed right now?
sounds like the best treatment is removing gluten totally. reading about hidden gluten in everything.
got this Gluten free app for me and her to scan barcodes.-
Check out Dr. Lisa shaver in Portland Oregon who is an expert on celiac, gluten sensitivity and wheat allergies. Also Labs such as Cyrex in Phoenix and resources for how to stay gluten-free. There are many hidden exposures and problems such as cutting boards, toasters, knives, shampoo etc.. Gastroenterologist Are needed occasionally if there has…[Read more]

Conclusions: Increased intestinal permeability after gliadin exposure occurs in all individuals. Following gliadin exposure, both patients with gluten sensitivity and those with active celiac disease demonstrate a greater increase in intestinal permeability than celiacs in disease remission. A higher concentration of IL-10 was measured in the…[Read more]

Thanks Dr. Brad! This article is pretty technical. Is Gliadin a new medication?
-
Gliadin is the group of gluten proteins. Think of it as synonymous with a gluten which is in barley, rye, some oats, spelt and wheat, only,
-
Thank you! Learn something new every day! So this article is referring to the mechanism of Gluten (Gliadin) sensitivity, that it causes excess permeability in intestines etc?
-
The conclusion of the study is that 100% of people tested no matter who they were had damage to their intestines with one Porten exposure.
-
Oh wow so basically it is actually good for everyone to go gluten free? With Whole Foods of course not the processed GF crap.

Scary but important! This statement needs to be seriously considered!
Gluten may trigger lymphoma in some celiac disease patients – Medical News TodayNew research shows how, in a small group of people with celiac disease, the consumption of gluten may trigger…-
This is very scary. It scared me into not messing around with this disease. My doctor told me if you don’t get your IgA antibody into normal range my chances of lymphoma rose 87%. That’s also why it’s so infuriating when companies don’t take this disease seriously and put products out that say gluten free when they are produced in facilities with…[Read more]

Just cannot seem to catch a break!
Gluten-free diet may have 'unintended consequences' for health – Medical News TodayResearchers suggest individuals who follow a gluten-free diet may be at greater risk of exposure to arsenic and mercury, which may pose harm…-
I have read about the arsenic from rice and rice flours. There are some rice varieties worse than others. The Mercury is a new one. Ugh. But I think it comes down to avoiding processed foods. Because gluten free processed foods tend to be higher in sugar and fat too.
