My wife had a liver transplant twenty five years ago this Dec. 31st. Around ten years after her transplant Granuloma Annulare showed up on legs. She was referred to several specialists to find treatment with zero success.

Her family has a history of Celiacs so i suggested she follow the same diet I do as I am glutten intolerent.  The granuloma annulare has completely gone from her extremities and she is over the moon that she can now wear tight leggings as well as nylons again and there are no more symptoms of itching and breaking out. It has been about six months since she went completely glutten free. I'm not suggesting this will work for everyone, but it would sure be worth a try.

    So true! I cut out gluten and rash retreated. I slipped during Christmas and it began to come back. I'm now very careful not to eat gluten and had to use the cream to clear it up. But I'm back to normal now. Gluten is bad!!!!

    I have GA unilateral hands knuckles forearm.  2 years now .  I recently experienced most success with gluten free diet  and In My reading it's not so much gluten but the glysophate  from  gmo foods .   So I make sure to stay gluten and gmo free .  Ive added lemon juice in morning to neutralize my PH  daily .  I also take additional  vitamin C  and acidophilus to address my gut .  As of now they seem  to be disappearing.  I don't have to hide confusedmy hands as of now.. I  have scarring it appears on the mother site I lost collagen on the others  my skin appears to have lichen tracks ?    I will take that over raised red bumps  the mother site was triggered by bee sting it grew to at least a 50 cent Kennedy size

      You should be aware that in the US, even non-GMO wheat is often treated with glyphosate (Roundup) before harvest to kill the wheat plants so they dry up and are easier to harvest. Being gluten-free should also eliminate this non-GMO source of glyphosate.

    Hi All: I have had GA for over a year, it is all over, looks like a burn and very itchy. It has been confirmed by biopsy. Both my daughter and I have Hashimoto's. Gluten test came back negative, but I am still trying to go gluten free as much as possible. I have tried many of the RX ointments and none work. I am considering trying an immunosuppressant but have concerns about side effects. I have read disseminated GA doesn't go away and my is definitely all over. Has anyone tried meds that worked? I tried prednisone and it worked but came right back after I went off it. It continues to spread...also I've read that antimalarial drugs may work as well as Accutane. ANYONE get rid of this??? Thanks for this forum!

      I tried prednisolone and it went away. After stopping it it came back and it's spreading. I only have in on my hands so far.
