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!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
