Hello

My name is Jen and I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease in the first week of feb. 2010 by a bloodtest. I had a biopsy taken last week and I am still waiting the results.

I have a question for anyone that could help. Over the last month or so I have started to get lots of pimples. Everyday my face seems to be getting worse and its not just little pimples it seems to be big sores.Despite any OTC topical creams it doesnt clear up. I was never one to ever have pimples other than right before that time of the month even when I was a teenager. Could this be a result of my drastic diet change? I really hate the way I look and I cant find anything to help.....Please if anyone has had any of these similar issues let me know..... thanks!!! Jen

Wish I could help you there. I am wondering if it is the gluten coming out of system. I know that drugs take a long time and seep out of your pores, so why not gluten as it is a poison to us. I have what looks like acne but doesn't feel like it. It comes out on one side of my chin and one side of my chest. Have noticed this for the last few months and when I get tireder they come out more. Not know if that is the "healing process".

I'm having a similar problem. I saw an old thread on this site that suggested breakouts could be caused by a sensitivity to soy (or corn). I don't think I'm eating any soy, but I haven't checked my vitamins/supplements.

I am one who never suffered from acne in my life before going gluten free. I had two break-outs, one on cheeks and one on my forehead, both times from supplements. The first was a B12 sublingual and I still haven't figured out what bothered me with that, and the second was an anthocyanin supplement. With the B12 it was overnight; with the anthocyanins it built up into an eruption over a period of a week or two. Withdrawal of the offending substances cleared the problem, although the B12 need a kick in the A$$ with an anti-acne medication. I don't know if this has any relevance to what you are experiencing.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      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?
