Coeliac disease – an autoimmune condition – leads the intestines to make an antibody called IgA when gluten is consumed. As a consequence, a rash emerges. This condition tends to develop from the age of 30, WebMD pointed out. Fairly common in people of European descent, could you have the condition?
Other symptoms could include:
- Severe or occasional diarrhoea, excessive wind and/or constipation
- Persistent or unexplained nausea and vomiting
- Recurrent stomach pain, cramping or bloating
- Any combination of iron, vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency
- Anaemia
- Tiredness
- Sudden or unexpected weight loss
- Mouth ulcers
- Skin rash (dermatitis herpetiformis)
- Tooth enamel problems
- Liver abnormalities
- Repeated miscarriages
- Neurological (nerve) problems such as ataxia (loss of coordination, poor balance) and peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling in the hands and feet).
Coeliac disease causes the villi (finger-like projections) in the small intestine to become flat.
This leads to difficulty with absorbing nutrients from food.
If an affected person starts to follow a gluten-free diet, the small intestine will begin to heal.
The National Eczema Association explained that eczema sufferers have an “over-reactive immune system”.
Some people with eczema have a mutated gene that is responsible for creating the protein filaggrin.
This mutation causes an ineffective skin barrier, meaning moisture can escape and bacteria and viruses can enter.
As a result, patches of eczema will be red, itchy and sometimes painful.
