I am not a doctor, but just a food blogger and naturo path. The first
signs of gluten intolerance were strange for me. I started developing
blisters and bumps on my face, used to bleed and full of pus. Never
understood what it was. I noticed a trigger in it after eating gluten.
After visiting 3 doctors, everyone was unable to identify what it was.
One said don't eat banana, one said don't eat dry fruit and their less researched and useless stories. Despite using their medicines, my face was
not clear and filled with strange blood filled stuff. I was sick of it.
I started a gf free life style and quit all the steroids and
antibiotics given by the doctors. They gave me wrong diagnosis. He
diagnosed it as "Photo contact Dermatitis" and asked me to stay away from
sun. (A lack of Vitamin D I suffered for many months). This was not sun
or banana that was causing it. Gluten was the culprit behind all this.
Just check if your doctor is giving you the correct diagnosis or not.
Plus I removed gluten from my foods and switched to homemade gf breads,
cakes and muffins. The face blisters have disappeared after that. I
thank God and all the people who helped me in my journey of autoimmune
problem and have encouraged me. After getting healed, I decided just to
spread awareness among people and guide them what to eat and what to
avoid. If God has cured me, I must spread awareness among people who are
suffering from this disease. Doctors never tell full facts. They are in
a hurry to make more money. Plus my mother is Gluten intolerant. A doctor gave
her high antibiotics and her intestines got damaged for 8 months. She
had bleeding stools too. I asked her to stop all the med and switch to
gluten free diet with more nutrients. She is OK but even if she eats gluten,
symptoms are back. So please check if your doctor is guiding you right
or not.
