What does this rash look like? It could be dermatitis herpetiformes, which is

celiac disease - so yes, it could be due to gluten.

Could it be a yeast rash?

hi, the rash is on the inner sides of both arms, flat red patches of

skin, cortisone helps, but then it reappears especially with long

sleeve. The rash on her legs are little bumps, colorless or pale

colored, felt more than seen...any advice would be appreciated a

lot...thnx..

This all sounds like my #3 PDD son. He also gets two different types

of rashes. One type is for his food allergies, the other type is DH,

a form of celiac. So I would suspect your child is either celiac or

has some food allergies. Here is my celiac link, at the bottom you

will find the dermatitis herpetiformis page, which includes photos.

Most DH also itches, but my son's did not.

My #2 son is autistic, so similar to your children in that older one

is autistic and younger one might be PDD. Here is my dx info.

Gfcf did not " remarkably " improve my kids until I removed all the

foods they had problems with, you can consider testing

One more thing, some kids have " chicken skin " rash from lack of EFAs,

so you can consider supplementing with that. But it did not help my

#3 son until I removed the bad foods and started with digestive

enzymes

my son also had the bumpy leg rash that has gone away since removing gluten,

i would suggest having her urine tested for yeast also. Has your son been

tested for yeast? the gfcf diet alone can't help too much if there is an

underlying yeast overgrowth that goes undetected in the intestines. good luck

[Guest guest]

let me clarify, i didn't mean to make it sound like yeast was more important

than gfcf i just wanted to offer the idea that if her son was not gaining too

much on gfcf that she might want to check for yeast issues as well with both

children, along with gfcf,because in many cases kids that bennefit from gfcf

also bennefit from antifungal treatment.
