My blood test just came back negative... but I've had the symptoms of celiac including DH. My doctor thinks it could be my hyperthyroidism. What do y'all think?

Are you sure it is DH? Was it biopsied?

If you really have DH that was tested to be DH, then you do have celiac.

And false negatives are common. I think I saw where someone else posted only 30 percent of celiacs are diagnosed via blood tests.

Try the diet before you believe those blood tests, and as stated if you have DH you need to be on the gluten free diet, period, end of story. I was always negative on blood tests and believing them cost me many many many painful years. And some permanent damage that I would not have had if I had been diagnosed when I was first symptomatic. I also have DH but it was misdiagnosed as poison ivy for years and years. You may still have other issues going on but do get on the diet strictly and those other issues may lessen or even resolve altogether.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but...
