Gluten allergy is often (but not always) the underlying cause for a wheat allergy. celiac disease is really another name for a gluten allergy, although this generally also includes specific damage to the interstitial tract and specific health risks as well.

rash that comes and goes for the last 3 weeks
Ok here it goes. I am 41 year old female. I started getting this rash about 3 /4 weeks ago. i had switched from one laundry soap to Tide. I thought that all the redness and itching was from that. I have rewashed all the clothes. I went back to the old detergent, but I am Still breaking out on my hands. They look like tiny red dots, itchy then welt up then it goes away almost a squick as it comes on. I went to the doc of course no rash then he perscribed some cream he said it was probably contact dermatitis. It did not work. Now the rash is going past my wrists and up my forearms, on my stomach and sometimes show up on my thighs. In the last week I have had it confirmed that i have wheat, gluten and dairy allergies. I think I have had for quite a while but again the rash is new to me. It seem like it might be getting better.....could it be that it is my bodys way of getting everything out of my system? Could it be something else? I thought maybe an allergy to another medication......I quit taking it for a few days, rash still showed up. At this point I have given up wheat and dairy for almost 2 weeks try to watch everything I take in only drink water. I feel like I am going crazy........Can anyone help me?
Rashes are hard to diagnose
The trouble with rashes is they're hard to diagnose.
It seems that most dermatologists mask the symptoms with cream, but don't look for the actual cause.
With luck, cutting out gluten/wheat/milk will do the trick for you.
Latex is another possible cause (do you use rubber gloves?)
I have the same thing
Ever figure out what it was?
