Itching

After I eat white bread my skin starts itching so badly I want to go mad- and sometimes it feels like things are crawling on my skin, lots of things are crawling in the same direction round and round, it drives me crazy. This usually also comes with red patches that if left untreated scars.

You should probably make an appointment with a dermatologist that is very familiar with dermatitis herpetiformis and other rashes that can result from gluten. Wheat allergies can also have some unusual symptoms, so good to get tested for allergies. Check the web for allergy symptoms. My reaction to gluten was skin rashes on my calves, back, and arms that lasted for a number of years. People with celiac come in all sizes and shapes, not all are underweight or have anemia. Some are asymptomatic. It all depends on how your body reacts to gluten.

You need to find a new doctor because your dermatologist is suffering under antiquated ideas about Celiac. Not all Celiacs have weight loss and diarrhea. I was the exact opposite

(Derm says that its only celiac if you lose weight has diaree)

sorry- but that line is bs

and- i cant diagnose the rashes you're having... or tell u whether it's gluten intolerance, celiac, or wheat allergy, or all of the above-

but i DO know that gluten & wheat make me itch.

thruout my life- i have had EXCEMA, Psoraisis, Dandruff, and another horrific itching issue that i will leave unsaid.. they all disappeared after being Gluten Free.

thruout the last decade- when i would cheat on wheat & gluten (this was before i tested for Celiac, & only thought of it as a diet)- i would get horribly itchy.

About 20 to 40 min. after eating gluten, my face and arms burn like a sunburn (but are not red). It takes several hours to go away. I was diagnosed Celiac last week. It's worth a check.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
