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!

      Is AG1 safe for Celiacs??

      I need to supplement my vitamin intake and was told AG1 was a good product. I checked their website and they claim to be gluten-free, but I see that barley is one of the ingredients. If the product is gluten-free how can it safely contain barley?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      @nataliallano, whatever else can be said, you need to get serious about eating gluten free. Lots of people with celiac disease are like you. We call them "silent celiacs". They have few or no GI symptoms and falsely assume no damage is being done to their body by continuing to consume gluten. Neurological damage is one of them.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      Good day, From browsing this forum, I've come to find out that even on a gluten-free diet, many people seem to take years for their antibodies to go down to normal levels, and also that hidden gluten could keep the levels from going down to normal indefinitely. Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive...

      Meniers and celiac are they related

      Thanks Kitty for your guidance. I will do the test to see if I have nutrients deficiencies and at the same time re organize my diet to see if that helps with my vertigo and other symptoms.

      Yes, Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiac Disease and Meniere's both. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test to check for thiamine insufficiency. Diuretics can cause excess thiamine loss. Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that improves intestinal health. Thiamine in the form TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) helped improve my Meniere's syndrome...

Shouldn't that mean that a celiac person would have a high possibility of testing positive given that they had gone gluten free for less than 2 years or so, and especially if they had not been careful about cross-contamination or had cheat days? The criteria for the gluten challenge makes it seems like the possibility of false negative is high in general.
