Probiotic and enzymes giving false negative on blood test?


Noel James

Recommended Posts

Noel James Newbie

My doctor suggested I have DH. He sent me for blood work that has come back negative for celiac decrease.  I ate gluten based food prior to the test but also kept taking probiotics and digestive enzymes.  I am wondering if I could get a false negative because of this. I have researched DH and it seems to fit with the skin rash I have.

The only way to diagnoses DH is With a skin biopsy.  Sometimes people with DH do not test positive on blood tests.

"...and only about 40% of them have the positive blood tests (serology) for celiac disease...."

Very important Noel James...... if the dermatologist takes the biopsy ON the lesion you will get a negative because that is the WRONG way to take a dh biopsy. Make sure they do it correctly. Be prepared to fight for a dh biopsy because I can just about guarantee you the derm will say it's this, it's that, it's the other & prescribe creams & lotions & pills & potions that won't do a bit of good and prolong your suffering if you do indeed have dh. Also DO NOT take oral steroids or steroid shots for 2 months prior to a dh biopsy. As with ALL celiac testing, you need to remain on a gluten diet until the biopsy has been performed.

Good luck & let us know how it goes!

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Some of the Cocomels are gluten and dairy-free: https://cocomels.com/collections/shop-page

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.
