I get a rash that sounds similar to yours. It almost looks like a ring worm circle, however it is not ring worm. I'm not sure what mine is called, however I use a cream on it called acid mantle and it clears up within a few days. I think it has something to do with the pH of my skin. The cream seems to balance it out and makes it better.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Welcome to the forum, @rjane! Making gluten free bread from scratch that both tastes good and holds together is a real challenge. There are some pretty good commercially made choices in the stores these days. Once the big food companies figured out there were enough of us out there for them to generate a profit, they went to work developing some good...

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      Welcome to the forum, @mytype1diabetes, Your statement that your daughter has become itchy and has hair loss made me think of iron deficiency. Those were the same symptoms i had when I was iron deficient. Was she tested for iron deficiency anemia at the time of her diabetes diagnosis? Seems in the early stages of iron deficiency anemia, blood...

      Welcome to the forum, @rjane! Making gluten free bread from scratch that both tastes good and holds together is a real challenge. There are some pretty good commercially made choices in the stores these days. Once the big food companies figured out there were enough of us out there for them to generate a profit, they went to work developing some good recipes that are hard to emulate at home. However, the commercially made breads are expensive! One thing to to realize is that gluten free flours often contain ingredients that are hard to digest (polysaccharides) and can cause gas, bloating and the runs. Things like xanthan gum and gar gum that are used as texturing agents. The...

      Welcome to the forum, @mytype1diabetes, Your statement that your daughter has become itchy and has hair loss made me think of iron deficiency.  Those were the same symptoms i had when I was iron deficient.  Was she tested for iron deficiency anemia at the time of her diabetes diagnosis?   Seems in the early stages of iron deficiency anemia, blood glucose levels can be falsely elevated.  Treating Vitamin D deficiency can also help immensely.  Vitamin D deficiency, iron deficiency, and deficiencies in the eight B vitamins, especially thiamine, can occur in Celiac disease.  Changes in stool can be caused by iron or thiamine deficiency. I was diagnosed with type two diabetes and had the...

       So sorry and sending well wishes. Replying from the UK. The NHS Coeliac Screen test is igAttg (including total igA). Your toddler is unlikely igA deficient with a titer of 22, as a positive test. When the igA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies are raised above the reference value or positive, the endomysial test is performed. The TTG test is suggestive of coeliac disease BUT it can be transiently raised in type 1 diabetes, milk protein intolerance (common in early childhood. Can also cause malabsorption similar to coeliac disease). Can be slightly raised in other food sensitivity and food allergy and some other conditions. Whilst it is more specific for coeliac disease than the older...
