Foot Blisters NO MORE

No question, however, the blisters formed on the feet and between the toes describe exactly what I had been experiencing for years.  

I quit eating wheat.  The blisters went away!  As soon as I eat any wheat products, I get the blisters within 4-8 hours.

No creams or medicines have ever alleviated these blisters, just wheat abstinence.

Hi,

There are several causes of blisters.

'Blisters are usually caused by injury to the skin from heat or from friction, which create a tear between the epidermis—the upper layer of the skin—and the layers beneath.

Short periods of intense rubbing can cause a blister, but any rubbing of the skin at all can cause a blister if it is continued for long enough. Blisters form more easily on moist skin than on dry or soaked skin, and are more common in warm conditions.

Sometimes, the skin can blister when it comes into contact with a cosmetic, detergent, solvent or other chemical; this is known as contact dermatitis. Blisters can also develop as a result of an allergic reaction to an insect bite or sting.

There are also a number of medical conditions that cause blisters. The most common are chickenpox, herpes, impetigo, and a form of eczema called dyshidrosis. '

It would be best to consult a doctor if it does not resolve on its own in a few days.

Let us know if you need any other information.

Regards.

PS, not eating wheat has also eliminated any crotch rashes.

I have had a similar experience, very ich skin every where. The iching and skin flaking on feet with blisters drove me crazy. I would experince iching on my feet so bad that I be compeled to remove my boots and socks and rack the skin off the bottoms of my feet until they were almost raw. I also was experiencing frequent fatique and a baloted stomach and weight gain. I experiment with removing wheat from my diet and all symtoms went away.
