Lines Across Cheekbones?

I'm 22, and I've recently noticed some cut-like lines across the tops of my cheekbones. They're pretty far from my eyes, on the top of the bones. Has anyone else developed these? I really don't think they're due to aging or not taking care of my skin, because I'm not hard on it at all, don't smoke, and use facial cleaner and moisturizer every day. I didn't think it possible that it was connected to Celiac until I read this post and found some others elsewhere. This one attributes the indents to "allergies." I have more links if anyone is interested.

This almost feels too farfetched. It's so easy to attribute everything to Celiac when you're first diagnosed, I guess. Haha...

Really interesting, When I was watching the Oscars I noticed Sandra Bullock seemed to have what you described.

Wow, yeah. I've never noticed that before - I have horizontal lines on all of my fingertips. The thumbs are the most prominent.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      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.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
