Doctor Unable To Explain, Please Help

It would be helpful to know if the elevated test was the tTg or the DGP?  I asked that question in my post previously and the answer makes a big difference as to what may be going on.  Again, if the doctor has not run the DGP and only the tTg, that is no indicator of dietary compliance.

 

Rashes are caused by many things and it could be from a contact allergy.  A good dermatologist could biopsy the area to tell if it is DH, so don't assume it is until you look into it further.

My igA is high while my igG My doctor seamed surprised and said that he didn't understand why one was so high and the other so low. At this point he has me going for a breath test as well as checking the H.pylori again. I am also going for more bloodwork.... He appears as confused as me as to what in the world is going on here.

I also had him look at my skin for Dermatitis herpetiformis and he was unsure about that as well, but did write me a script for the Dapzone, but told me to refrain from using it until my Dermatologist gets back to me about my biopsy of the area.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
