Hi guys,
I've been gluten-free for several years. Only two years ago I got GA after penicillin. Most of the spots slowly disappeared except for the ones on my upper arms. Then,
this year, again after penicillin, I got GA again but with a vengence -- arms/legs. This has nothing to do with gluten, although going gluten free is I think healthier. In my case my digestion can't handle gluten.

Hi there....So sorry to hear you're dealing with this wretched, dumbass condition. Have you been diagnosed with GA? Do you think that the penicillin lowered your immune system and that's what allowed the GA to occur? It definitely seems to be somehow related to auto-immune and/or thyroid issues, which would seem to possibly be related to your condition occurring after having your immune system compromised by the penicillin.

Yes, diagnosed 2 years ago with GA. No biopsy though.
I've read that there's no evidence after all about thyroid connection.
I'm wondering about penicillin allergy. It's definitely something
systemic.
