@SB04, Have you been checked for B12 deficiency? A deficiency in Vitamin B12 will cause hives and also raise the tTg 3 IgG level, even in people without Celiac Disease. You can have B12 deficiency without having Celiac Disease. All eight B vitamins work together. Do not supplement just a single B vitamin. Best wishes. -

Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?
I've just had 24 hr ECG monitoring but I am convinced the problem with my heart arythma is due to Histamine intolerance. I was making and loving L reuteri yogurt, supposed to get rid of sibo, I was also having, on a daily basis, kefir, sauerkraut and loads of spinach plus Avacado. Bananas and cheese have long been off my list of safe foods as... -

The problem with a a multiple screening test like this is that it is likely to generate at least one result that is outside the normal range in a healthy person leading to futile investigations. The pathogenesis of dermatitis herpetiformis makes it unlikely that someone would have raised IgA-tTG3 but not raised IgA-tTG2. Suspected dermatitis herpetiformis... -

@Yaya, Vitamin supplements should be stopped eight to twelve weeks before testing blood levels. If vitamin supplements are not stopped, the tests will reflect the vitamins in circulation in the blood stream from the supplements, and blood levels may appear within "normal" limits. Blood tests do not reflect the amount of vitamins stored inside cells...

Oh my, I have always had the symptoms for B12 deficiency, which is why I had the blood test that led to my celiac disease diagnosis I had been taking B vits have been always been amazed that all ,my bloods were perfectly normal! I queried this many times with my doctor as to whether the B12 was active and being absorbed or whether it was just in my bloodstream. They dismissed this idea. And of course I still take them. Thank you so much, what a revelation and really quite understandable, I am about due for my annual full blood test so maybe I will just stop taking them?

I've just had 24 hr ECG monitoring but I am convinced the problem with my heart arythma is due to Histamine intolerance. I was making and loving L reuteri yogurt, supposed to get rid of sibo, I was also having, on a daily basis, kefir, sauerkraut and loads of spinach plus Avacado. Bananas and cheese have long been off my list of safe foods as I was having a sort of allergic reaction after eating them and my accupuncturist said I had a heart arrythma. After the yogurt fest mentioned above, I had a racing heart rate and think I must have had far too many Histamine producing foods. Apparently celiacs have too much histamine in their system anyway and I was, on a daily basis, eating very high histamine foods. I have cut them out of my diet and now eat only low histamine foods and I take quercin so the heart rate has slowed and the thudding I was getting at 4am has gone so I think I am right. The only symptom I had for celiac disease (3yrs since diagnosed) was acid reflux and the only thing that stopped the chest pain it gave me was the PPi Rinitidine an H2 antagonist, to reduce stomach acid, (which high histamine causes) because it nuetralised the histamine!! I told my doctor this and he agreed with me and was delightfully shocked by my research, (btw what would we celiacs do without google?) so I took a Famotadine, amore up to date H2 ppi for a couple of nights and then reduced my histamine intake, now awaiting results re the ECG..............I seem to have lost my ability to spell, sorry...............

The pathogenesis of dermatitis herpetiformis makes it unlikely that someone would have raised IgA-tTG3 but not raised IgA-tTG2. Suspected dermatitis herpetiformis should be referred to a specialist for diagnosis. dermatitis herpetiformis causes a specific rash and symptoms - not merely hives. https://bestpractice.bmj.com/topics/en-gb/3000326

@Yaya, Vitamin supplements should be stopped eight to twelve weeks before testing blood levels. If vitamin supplements are not stopped, the tests will reflect the vitamins in circulation in the blood stream from the supplements, and blood levels may appear within "normal" limits. Blood tests do not reflect the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where the vitamins are actually utilized. There can be "normal" levels in the blood, but organs and tissues may be depleted. The brain sends messages to tissues and organs to give up their stored vitamins so that the brain and heart don't run out. That "excellent metabolism" is fueled by Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Do read the articles above. Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' research changed my life. Taking high dose thiamine (thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide)) really improved my health in an impressive way. Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic. Thiamine is safe in high doses. If not needed, it's easily excreted. If needed, the improvement will become apparent in a very short time. No harm, no foul.
