before you were diagnosed with it did you become itchy even if you didn't eat anything with gluten?

The other symptoms I get is diarrhea and my stomach will injured.


Answer:
My Doctor told me that i have celiac disease through blood work he done but i have had none of those symtoms you’re reffering to.
The only thing i have is low back pain and still have it a year and 40lbs later after going on the glutten free diet….it sucks

Answer:
Celiac sprue, also known as celiac disease or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is a chronic disease of the digestive tract that interferes with the digestion and absorption of food nutrients. People with celiac sprue cannot tolerate gliadin, the alcohol-soluble fraction of gluten. Gluten is a protein commonly found in wheat, rye, and barley. Most patients with celiac disease tolerate oats, but they should be monitored closely. When people with celiac sprue ingest gliadin, the mucosa of their intestines is damaged by an immunologically mediated inflammatory response, resulting in maldigestion and malabsorption. Patients with celiac disease can present with failure to thrive and diarrhea (the classical form). However, some patients have only subtle symptoms (atypical celiac disease) or are asymptomatic (silent celiac disease

Answer:
Yes I have it and so does my mom. I have extremely painful joint pain and have it for 4 years now. Did you just get diagnosed with it? I’ve to share my favorite gf pizza which is glutino and whole foods has a HUGE selection of gf food. Try joining your local gf group (try searching google) and meeting new ppl helps.

to answer your question, since celiac is an autoimmune disease you were probably itchy because of your antibodies attacking your skin.

By the way I'm 12 and a very reliable source.
