Good idea. I see the dermatologist this week and am going to ask for some testing. There's a list on the purigo website we should have. I haven't! Hope I don't get ignored!

Have you been tested for gluten allergy or sensitivity?

It's interesting that you're noticing similarities between your symptoms and gluten-related issues. While specific testing experiences from members aren't detailed in available information, there is a connection worth exploring.

Some people with prurigo nodularis have found that certain dietary changes, including avoiding gluten, may help reduce inflammation and improve their symptoms. Gluten is among the pro-inflammatory foods that some individuals with inflammatory skin conditions have reported benefits from eliminating.

If you suspect gluten might be affecting your PN symptoms, consider these steps:

* Schedule an appointment with an allergist who can perform proper allergy testing
* Keep a food diary to track any patterns between what you eat and symptom flare-ups
* Discuss your concerns with your dermatologist, as they may have insights specific to your case

Remember that everyone reacts to foods differently. What triggers symptoms in one person may not affect another. The key is identifying your personal triggers through proper testing and careful observation.

An allergist can help determine if you have a true gluten allergy, celiac disease, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity through blood tests and other diagnostic methods.

Georgia (and others) I had a food sensitivity test through my naturopath. I am sensitive to whey, oats, and cane sugar so I try to avoid them.
I also had a blood test through my Medical Doctor and apparently I'm not allergic to gluten nor do I have celiac.
I am thinking of getting environment allergy testing through an allergist.
