Not to eat or drink certain ones of what? Do you know what it is specifically you are trying to avoid when you eat? I kind of get the feeling you don't really understand much of this celiac thing. -

Hello, Jeff and yes, PTL! The word "marker" is typically used in connection with gene testing but gene testing is not usually where testing for celiac disease starts. It usually starts with blood work looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. The most popular antibody test ordered by doctors is the tTG-IGA test but there are... -
- knitty kitty replied to lizzie42's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease4Is tTG 9 normal after 4 months gluten-free?
@lizzie42, I have dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks when I am exposed to foods high in iodine. Iodine can cause dermatitis herpetiformis to flair up badly. So I avoid high iodine foods like dairy products, crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster, shellfish), Eggs, and iodized table salt. Spinach, potatoes, kale, and kelp are high in iodine, too. The...

Hello, Jeff and yes, PTL! The word "marker" is typically used in connection with gene testing but gene testing is not usually where testing for celiac disease starts. It usually starts with blood work looking for antibodies that are more or less specific to celiac disease. The most popular antibody test ordered by doctors is the tTG-IGA test but there are others. Here is an overview: Do you have access to your medical record/test results online? What is your next step with this? I assume you are not yet eating gluten free.

@lizzie42, I have dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks when I am exposed to foods high in iodine. Iodine can cause dermatitis herpetiformis to flair up badly. So I avoid high iodine foods like dairy products, crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster, shellfish), Eggs, and iodized table salt. Spinach, potatoes, kale, and kelp are high in iodine, too. The antibodies that cause dermatitis herpetiformis are tTg 3 IgA. The tests for Celiac Disease measure tTg 2 IgA antibodies. The dermatitis herpetiformis tTg3 antibodies can hang around for two years or more and become more active when exposed to iodine without having gluten present. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is pressure sensitive and are apt to form under tight clothing like belts, bras and underwear, seams on tight clothing, etc. I find tallow balm (Vintage Traditions is my favorite gluten free brand) eases the itching and helps heal the blisters without scaring. Niacin Vitamin B 3 helps the body rid itself of the dermatitis herpetiformis antibodies. Niacin is one of eight essential B vitamins which should all be supplemented together because they all work together in concert. Niacin is instrumental in the body's production of Serotonin, the feel good neurotransmitter. The body turns Niacin into Tryptophan, which is used to make Serotonin. So when I have dermatitis herpetiformis flairs, I also take Tryptophan at bedtime, and Niacin and a B Complex during the day. Hope this helps! I know how miserable dermatitis herpetiformis can be.
