Just keep eating gluten!   I took the time between blood tests and endoscopy to bid gluten goodbye.  I ate all my favorite things!  It made me sicker, but it also made it easier for me to give up gluten for life.  You will just have to address other issues if discovered by your doctor, when you cross that bridge.

Thankyou cyclinglady you give very good advice. Just gets a little confusing when i see other forums and everybody is chatting about different bloods and  numbers in tests? and have you adked for this test and have you had the other test, it sounds very complicated.

You had a positive on the celiac blood test, right? So, based on the algorithm, you should proceed to biopsy.

Now, keep in mind that the small intestine is vast (size of tennis court).  So, even if negative, your GI may recommend trialing the gluten-free diet.  (You could just be in the early stages of development).  The goal though is to get well.  Keep that in mind.

      New diagnosis

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've tried a few bread recipes but I am by no means an expert. However, this recipe is the best bread I've made to date. It uses 3 grains (or their flours if you prefer) and requires a strong blender (like a Vitamix) but no bread machine. I use it to make English muffins or a loaf of bread. The muffins are a little easier to make and the bread comes out in premade portions. It passes the sandwich test and it tastes great over several days (to my taste, store-bought gluten-free breads tend to lose their flavor on the second day) This recipe is pretty flexible in terms of varying ratios or types of grains.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DPDnyaJjpHh/

      I don't have a bread machine but it sure looks like the bread I remember from BC. This is on my "to do" list.

      I think seafood in general will be high in iodine.

      This recipe was created by a scientist and posted years ago. I will admit I haven't made it, but it's also supposed to be quite good:

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That sounds like really encouraging progress, and it is great that you are narrowing things down so carefully. It can be surprising how something like added iodine in a milk alternative might make a difference for some people with dermatitis herpetiformis-type symptoms, so your note may definitely help someone else who is still dealing with that last bit of itching. It also sounds like you are finding a more comfortable routine with almond and soy milk, simple safe meals, and watching individual triggers like tuna without feeling completely restricted. This really is a learning curve, and keeping track of what improves or worsens symptoms is often the only way to spot patterns. I hope the dermatology appointment goes well...let us know.
