The Gluten Syndrome—Gut, Skin and Brain
Celiac.com 10/22/2008 - The Gluten Syndrome refers to the cluster of symptoms that you experience if you react to gluten. Gluten can affect your gut, your skin, and your brain. It applies to any reaction that is caused by gluten. It includes celiac disease, along with the myriad symptoms that can be experienced throughout your gastro-intestinal tract in response to gluten. It also includes many other symptoms that do not stem from your gut. These include brain and behavior disorders, irritability and tiredness, skin problems, muscular aches and pains and joint problems.
The effects of gluten are wide ranging and are now brought together under the term Gluten Syndrome. In most instances, a simple blood test (the IgG-gliadin antibody test) can identify those people who are af...

Food Sensitivity Impacts Skin and GI Disorders
Celiac.com 07/15/2011 - Doctors have successfully treated patients with both gastrointestinal and skin disorders by testing for food sensitivities and avoiding foods that provoke those sensitivities. This, according to a team from the University Teaching Hospital in Pavia, Italy, which reported their results at the annual meeting of the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, in Istanbul, Turkey.
More and more, researchers, clinicians and other health care providers see food sensitivity testing and dietary modification is as a viable treatment method for a number of chronic health problems.
To measure food and chemical sensitivity, the research team used the ALCAT Test, which is included in the hospital’s official registry of services.

Celiac Disease and Other Gut Diseases Often Present in the Skin
Celiac.com 12/29/2011 - About one in 100 people in America has celiac disease, while about one in four of those will develop dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring, which occurs when celiac disease manifests cutaneously, in the skin. Dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring is uncommon in children, with only 5% of cases appearing in children younger than 7 years. Most often, it presents in people over forty.
Making a proper clinical diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis Duhring, also known as Duhring’s disease, is challenging, and often requires the help of skin biopsy and direct immunofluorescence.
To do this, clinicians should look for antibodies against gliadin, endomysium, and transglutaminase, said Dr. Magdalene A. Dohil, of the University of California, San Diego, at a seminar sponsored b...

Meghan Markle Says Ditching Gluten Made Her Skin Glow
Celiac.com 01/12/2018 - As an American, I almost never get excited about British royalty, or soon-to-be royalty. Chatter about William and Kate? Yawn. Charles and Camilla? Double yawn. Royal babies? Pshaw. I'd rather watch paint dry.
However, one soon-to-be royal has just jumped into our gluten-free celebrity of the month pool, and so a brief story can't be helped.
Much of the celebrity-gawking world might be unabashedly obsessed with Meghan Markle right now, and that makes her claims about ditching gluten newsworthy. In a recent interview with Delish, the 36-year-old Markel said that cutting gluten from her diet resulted in major improvements in her skin and energy levels.
Now, there are health experts who claim that at least cutting back on gluten consumption can improve gut...

  The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

  Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

  I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve,...
