How long before I feel better? I've been gluten-free since the day I found out and I've got this burning rash, nerve pain and eye pain. My eyelashes have been falling out lately.. Skin feels overall inflamed.

its hard to say, cause everyone has different amounts of damage. some on here say it took months to feel better.

ive gone gluten free several times before i finally did it for good this july... it's always taken me about 3-4 weeks to feel like i had a fairly normal digestive tract.

its been @11 weeks for me-> my digestion is pretty ok as long as i dont overdo lactose, fructose, or fructans. still have a small patch of DH. and still little tired/anxious... but im suspecting a hypothyroid.

hang in there, just takes time.. and you may also have to pinpoint additional food intolerances... or vitamin deficiencies.

idk about that... this is my first patch of DH ( i think) and im 38. before this i only had severe excema, psoraisis, dandruff, and a couple of unidentified things- all left when gluten free.

except this DH, BUT- i think people on here say that it DOES go away

It goes away.

But if you get glutened, it might flare up again.

Aka, a motivational symptom.

      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?

      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.
