<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I finally took the plunge about 10 days ago and went GF. I'm not diagnosed (negative anti-endomysial, no biopsy), and have no obvious symptoms except rosacea. Believe it or not the rosacea appears to have gotten worse, with lots of itchy skin and scalp and outbreaks on my chin, which has been rare. So my question is, has anyone else experienced anything similar after going GF -- worsening symptoms at first? I think I've been fairly careful, but even if a little gluten has slipped through, it seems rather early in the game to attribute the flareup to the exaggerated symptoms some people get after ingesting gluten after a long time gluten-free. I have experienced the "worsening reaction" syndrome with dairy products myself, but only after many months of being dairy-free. Has anyone gotten worse before they got better? Or, is it more likely that I'm reacting to another food? My consumption of corn and rice has certainly gone up in the last week. I'd welcome any thoughts you'd care to share, and would especially like to hear from those who have had skin reactions to gluten or other foods. Thanks, Leslie Beachwood Beaverton, OR
