I'm pretty sure I've got some form of EC. I developed this over 6 months ago just as a burning, swelling all over my lips and peeling around the edge of my lips. This only happened when I ate certain things like gluten or nuts. Then over the holidays the peeling started even though I haven't eaten anything offensive and didn't stop until I tried the Aquaphor. I'm sure I will have another reaction if I eat something but hopefully the peeling wont get as bad. It is strange, not sure what's going on but I'm happy at least the peeling has stopped for now!!
Pm longterm,
No I don't get a puffy face. I'm really interested in this gluten and allergy connection to skin conditions. My doc told me that I have low stomach acid and I've been reading that people who have celiacs or are gluten intolerant have similar issues to those who have low stomach acid. Like skin issues and reaction to foods like gluten. People who start taking hcl seem to have success in having less reactions. Just thought that was interesting. Do you have celiacs?
