My Skin

2:30 in the morning and I feel something on my left thigh, it’s these bumps that have just appeared and there was nothing pressed up against my skin to make this happen. I’m not sure why this happened but only reason I’m giving it more thought is because I read an article one day about “chicken skin” and there was a picture. I think I had seen this before in my skin but wasn’t sure until just now when thy popped up. I took a picture you will see below, hope you can see what I’m talking about. It went away after about an hour, my skin was smooth like it never happened.
While researching there is a skin condition called Keratosis Pilaris, which causes this. I don’t know if that’s what is going on with me or not.
It could be from Gluten Intolerance:

I also get welts, hives, whatever you want to called it. I’ve always had sensitive skin, even as a child. So this is quite normal for me.

Ever since the word got out about gluten, I’ve been wanting to try and see if removing it from my diet would help but it’s been so hard. I really end up eating whatever I can eat, my taste bids are too expensive for my budget. If I’m lucky I’m able to get some vegetables and fruits. It really makes me feel that I should just start a raw diet, nothing but fresh uncooked veggies and fruit. Which I would totally get bored of. I’ve been trying my best though, I just got seem to get this right. And it’s so hard watching others eat what you shouldn’t, even harder when you’re the one cooking it for them.
