Hi there, I'm sorry but I have to ask this. I think I have noticed something about my DH and my monthly cycle. It seems to start to itch just before and then I break out on days one and two (and sometimes longer). It's not bad enough I have my "friend" as my mother loves to call it, I seem to always have a breakout too. Does this happen to anyone else? Did it get better as time passess and you are gluten free longer? :huh:

Again, sorry, I just don't know who else or where else I can ask this question.... thanks for your help.

I have never noticed a break out especially at that time of the month. I am on the pill and I wonder if that has anything to do with it... the hormone levels are a little more controlled. I'll have to let you know when I go off of them once and for all in a month or so! :rolleyes:

Yes, please let me know...This is silly how much I am breaking out. It's only been a month gluten-free but I am not clearing up at all!

If your DH is really bad, it may take a while to clear up. I know I first noticed less spots but it did take quite a while to heal all the way. I still get occasional spots here and there but NOTHING like what it was before. Hang in there, it will get better with time, I know how awful it can be!

Most definately do!!

I still do not know why it does this but it is awful. I've been gluten free for a few months and still break out pretty bad. :-(

Every monthI try desperately to NOT eat iodized salt and sugar. I do it anyway because I have horrid pms and cravings.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
