If the immune system is involved in a low-grade response, it begins to explain why gluten intolerance is often related to problems such as eczema. [avogel.co.uk]
Workup
(See Workup.) [7] Adverse reactions to food that are not immune mediated are not considered to be food allergies. An example is lactose intolerance, which is caused by a deficiency of lactase. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
While research continues to work towards pharmaceutical or other treatments, at this time the only treatment for celiac disease is to maintain a gluten-free diet for life. [gluten.org]
However, treatment is recommended as complications can occur. [breakspearmedical.com]
Some treatments are effective in some cases, but usually only the mildest, and no treatments are effective in all cases. [livestrong.com]

Prognosis The prognosis is positive for the majority of patients. The underlying risk factors should be addressed to diminish the intertrigo outbreaks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology of intertrigo Intertrigo develops from mechanical factors and secondary infection. Heat and maceration are central to the process. Opposing skin surfaces rub against each other, at times causing erosions that become inflamed. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Based on these definitions, a correct diagnosis of allergic disease must adhere to the following conditions: a) Compatible clinical history; and b) Positivity to in vivo and/or in vitro tests to prove underlying mechanism and etiology. [worldallergy.org]

Pathophysiology Environmental factors and genetic causes play a leading role in the development of intertrigo. One of these factors is the friction caused by adjacent skin surfaces causing inflammation of the epidermis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Prevention is through a gluten-free diet. In recent times there has been questions raised about the validity of the condition referred to as gluten intolerance. [healthhype.com]
This diet will eliminate symptoms and prevent further damage to the small intestine. Gradually, with a gluten-free diet, the damage to the small intestine will heal in the majority of cases. [healthgrades.com]
