DH and antibodies

Will a celiac blood test show up negative if you have active/new DH lesions and the last time you had gluten was less than a week ago? How long does the body produce celiac antibodies after eliminating gluten?

Do you have a dx of dh? If so, & you are in the US, then a dx of dh IS a dx of celiac disease and no other testing is required. Maybe you are trying to get a celiac diagnosis? If you have active/new dh lesions AND you last had gluten within the last  couple of days, then start eating gluten right now & go get a dh biopsy done.

There is no answer as to how long the body produces celiac antibodies after eliminating gluten that I have ever heard of. 

If you do indeed have dh, there is a 60% chance you will test negative on the celiac blood panel so your best bet to a dx is a dh skin biopsy.

      What kind of issues have you had going to public schools? Are you gluten-free as well?

      It might be worth a try to see if that is causing you issues. I've not tried it, but don't have the same issues with fruits and vegetables.

      Swollen Lymph Nodes

      By Emma R. · Posted

      Hello my gluten free friends,  I am 2 years out from diagnosis and doing well. A year prior to having any symptoms I noticed a swollen lymph node. This has been 3ish years ago now. The lymph node currently is still swollen. I recently went back to the doctor for it. They did an ultrasound and found it to have “no suspicious activity and benign in nature”. My doctor said it could have been one of the first signs my body was giving me that I had an autoimmune disorder. She said it may go away eventually or could always stay slightly swollen because of the disease. Has anyone else experienced something similar? I don’t know if I should ask for a biopsy to confirm it’s not cancerous.    Emma

      Be careful of pre-sliced cheese, too.  I have been ok getting it cut at deli's.  That, too, can be a gamble, but so far there has been no cross-contamination.  I have heard they use such a small amount of cellulose, they do not have to include it in the ingredients.
