Gluten Intolerant, Used To Break Out In Hives After Eating Something With Gluten. Reason?

I am gluten intolerant and used to break out in hives after eating something with gluten in it, but then I went off gluten and was hive free for about 6 months. I recently started to get the rashes again, even though I ve been eating extremely carefully and avoiding gluten. Could the hives be from touching bread or something with wheat? or is it more likely that I have a new allergy? I have severe stomach cramping, bloating , pain and diarrhea if I accidentally eat gluten, so I always know if its in my system. With this new rash, It just doesn t seem to be connect to gluten. It s also always on my right side. My right hand/fingers, my knee, and my ankle. Any idea? Thanks!

Hello dear,

In view of the fact that you are avoiding Gluten rich foods, the hives cannot be related to it.
Since the rashes are present only on one side of the body, they can be attributed to Contact dermatitis.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of Antihistamine preparations & application of topical steroid ointment.

If symptoms still persist, then kindly consult a Dermatologist & get a proper clinical examination done.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
