Any idea how long these itchy bumps will last? It's been 4 months now. They used to come and go in about 3 weeks, but I've had this traveling itching since March. Started on my head, went down my neck, and now on my arms.

Have you eliminated iodine from your supplements and diet? The iodine can keep the antibodies active in skin. Also be sure you have eliminated gluten ingredients from your toiletries and be very careful about CC. It can take a while for lesions to heal but hopefully you will stop getting new ones soon.

I had to go to a dermatologist to get a prescription for Dapsone. It can heal them in as little as 48 hrs. I can tell a huge difference and I am only on my 4th dose.

I would like to know also, how long does it take after gluten-free to have nice skin again? I think my oldest bump was a month ago. Does anyone know if taking Zinc supplement will help with wound healing?

Thanks,

Megan

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      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.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      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?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
