Hi im 22, 5'7, and 135 .. I have been mostly healthy my whole life, but starting a few weeks ago i broke out in hives one day. I have never had an allergy to anything so i assumed it could be stress related. I was taking bennadryl but to no prevail. After over a week of being so very uncomfortable and itchy (the hives were also accompanied by sever pain in my left arm joint & muscular?) I was doing some research and i found a condition called dermatographia also known as 'skin writing'  google it, you will probably be amused.l i knew i had text book case. I can write or draw or touch my skin and  after a few minutes a welt type hive will appear where was touched and it will stay there for about 20-30 mins. It is very annoying!!! I model and who wants some one that has hives crazy looking scratch patterns on there body! :(  They say there is not cure but some underling issue usually exists. usually an autoimmune disease or some kind of disorder. 

So this past week i started experiencing very server stomach pains anytime after i eat. I am so hungry right now but am so afraid to eat because i know how i will feel. This has been going on now for 5 days with no prevail. I eat, then about 15-20 mins later i am in agony. I have this serious urge to burp but when i try i burp inward then have to try and push a burp out ward (not sure how else to explain that ). I feel so nausea's  and i literally will be in tears at the pain. After about an  hour or 2 it will go away like it never happened... 

i also had swollen lymph nodes in the back of my neck, one was large and hard and was in a fixed position ( which i know is not that great) but i was hoping it could be my body trying to fight of an infection.. but what infection? 

i am so sick of being sick and tired. i want to be me again.. :( I just moved to a different state and my insurance will not cover me here. so i am trying to figure out which kind of dr i should go to? a g.i? autoimmune? dermatologist? please help.

I think you should stick to the brat diet for three days. EXCEPT No toast. Applesauce, Veggies, Rice and Bananas.

You may have a gluten allergy.

Any updates on this? Experiencing the same issue and I'm thinking it's some unknown food allergy which is delayed. I'm keeping a food diary but it's difficult to figure out. Gluten is highly suspect.

Wondering what happened in these cases. My 6 year old has these symptoms. My dr doesn't have a clue. I Google because I think they could be linked.

I have been having very similar symptoms. Dermatographia, pain after eating, fatigue. I've had ultrasound, cat scan, blood work etc. I was tested for celiac's several years ago. Nothing has been determined so far. I really dislike when people post, but never follow up. I meet with my GI this week. I will update in a week or so.
