Mine from 2 years ago diagnosed as everything under the sun, but DH.

Nothing has helped my skin.

I am willing to start over with a new doctor.

Mine from 2 years ago diagnosed as everything under the sun, but DH.

Nothing has helped my skin.

I am willing to start over with a new doctor.

My DH was discovered by the Physician Assistant Sheila Mayo in the Dermatology dept. at Emory Clinic - Clifton Road. She works under Dr. Michael Sarradet. Dr. Jamie MacKelfresh also in the same Derm. dept. specializes in DH and she's the one who read my biopsies and diagnosed the DH. It can be tough to get an appt. with the doctors but you can get in pretty quickly to see Sheila. That's good because while you are there, she can call in the doctors to consult. So you see the doctor just not exclusively - this is a nice way to jump the line, so to speak. I owe these doctors a lot because it never occurred to me the rash was anything like celiac. I thought I had a severe allergy but couldn't figure out to what. I never would have thought to ask for a biopsy, except I was concerned about family history of carcinomas. It's weird. It was good to be there, too, because then I went over to GI and Dr. Keilin did the GI biopsy and endoscopic exam and the blood tests and here I am, confirmed with celiac disease and working on healing.

Good luck!

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."

      That is a solid home test--feel free to share other tests you run.
