DH can look like that but so can many other skin conditions. The only way to know would be to get a dh biopsy.

Tell us more about how it acts please.

What symptoms of celiac do you have?

If I don't reply for a while it's because I'm dealing with Hurricane Matthew & may be terribly busy or have lost power.

My son is attending university in Daytona Beach.  He and his roommates have just evacuated.   Stay safe!

Thanks Fundog. I'm inland about 65 mi. from Jacksonville & can you believe it we are not yet under any watches or warnings. Yay! In my area we have tons of huge old oaks & any wind & rain makes limbs break & fall on the power lines so I don't expect to escape without power failures. I hope we escape everything else. 

I hope your son & his roommates don't get stuck just sitting on I-95. They can be stuck for hours & hours. Where were they heading for, do you know?

My mother lives in Inglis, three hours from Daytona.  The boys are going there.  Inglis is also under a storm warning, but the students in Daytona were told to bug out. So they did. Some of the kids are trying to make it to Orlando.

Lol, there seems to be glitch in the program.  The boys are heading to Inglis.  (See above, in the quote box) Gosh, I hope they aren't on the road when that storm hits!

They should be okay there. They have time to get there as long as they don't need gas which they may not be able to get and if the roads aren't clogged with other evacuees. At least they won't be relying on getting a hotel room!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Roses8721! How long were you off gluten before getting the celiac blood testing done? The testing is not valid after having been gluten free for a significant period of time. Many of your symptoms align with celiac disease.
