New here...my 18 year old daughter was recently identified as gluten sensitive by her MD who is also an integrative medicine practitioner. She has not been tested for celiac...that is for a separate post.however, one of the cues that my daughter discovered that led her tp gluten- free diet was the appearance of a nasty dermatitis on two fingers that would eventually go away after gluten and dairy were eliminated. She recently must have unwittingly consumed either dairy or gluten, and the excema/dermatitis reappeared. I happened to be shopping in our local natural food/products store, and the manager told me about a product called Redmond Clay. She said to make a paste by adding water to it and have my daughter apply to her fingers and wrap with Saran and wear overnight. The result was extraordinary! It had been painful, blistered, raw and angry looking. As soon as she applied it she could feel it working. When she removed it the next morning, the inflammation and blisters were gone. The redness was lighter, and it was clear that new skin was starting to appear. Supposedly the clay works by drawing the toxins out of the body. You can also drink it for internal cleanse. I highly recommend looking into this for anyone affected. Here's some info...

I use Redmond Clay for a lot of things. You must live in Utah if you found it in a local store. It doesn't really cure anything, but it sure helps clear up topical things quickly doesn't it! I love it for cuts and burns and blisters, things of that nature. (Always make sure it can't dry overnight.) I used some just Christmas night on a nasty bump and was feeling much better in the morning. If it helps, I recommend continuing to use it. But certainly watch for recurrences as they are sure to happen if CC happens and remember this won't cure anything. Simply help with the symptoms as they happen.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
