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.

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
