Skin sensitive to touch =CARBS?

I get this sometimes in my thighs. It feels exactly like a bruise. Never linked it to carbs, will pay more attention next time Could be an immune thing as I have an underactive thyroid, and I bruise VERY easily with that, but I'm definitely gluten intolerant and nevertheless used to binge on white flour-based carbs before this diet journey. Interesting to hear people's thoughts.

Jumping back in on this as it's bothering me again this week. I've not been very well lately and had awful IBS, so I was basically forced into an elimination diet to figure out what was causing the trouble. After a few days on only veg, fruit, chicken and salmon, I reintroduced carbs in the form of brown rice. No tummy reaction whatsoever, so I was thrilled to have a little more substance in my diet as I continue to test other foods. However, the next morning (and for the whole of the day), the skin on the back of the tops of my legs has been so sore to the touch. It's the day after that now and I can still feel it, though it's not quite as bad. I've cut out rice again, obviously, but plan to test it again next week to see if I have the same reaction. I was wondering about fibromyalgia as well, as I do often get that all over achy feeling and I have have other autoimmune conditions, but I think the sore skin thing would be more frequent if so?
