Iodine And Dh


Sam81

Recommended Posts

Sam81 Apprentice

I am posting this in the DH section as IF I have celiac - it's DH. I've had NOTHING for breakfast except a cup of what I call "Posh Coffee" (sachets of flavoured coffee - my treat most mornings) and within 45mins to an hour my rash is full on and driving me insane. I know with some DH sufferers they need to limit Iodine which is in most Salt. Could my coffee be sparking me off?? Here are the ingredients. I know some E numbers contain iodine and have tried investigating the E numbers in my coffee but I can't fine the stabilising ones anywhere! This list is gfor a Vanilla Latte but I also have Caramel and Mocha's - Ingredients for Vanilla are:

Sugar

Skimmed milk powder

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil

Instant Coffee (10%)

Dried Glucose Syrup

Lactose-Whey Permeate

Lactose

Flavourings

Thickener E466

Milk Proteins

Stabilisers (E340ii, E452i, E331iii)

Salt

Thank you to all you helpful people!! Please feel free to look at pictures of my rash in my other post titled "pictures of my rash" - funnily enough... :huh:

Incase it's relevant I live in the UK.

I don't know what the labeling laws are where you are but I would call the company and ask what the items I bolded are derived from. I think a wheat or barley derived ingredient are more likely the issue. I would also ask if the salt they use is iodized but don't think it likely it is.

On top of that some people find coffee is an issue. Something about the molecule being similar to gluten.

I thought at one point it was irritating me. I'm not really sure - formed a chai habit. I don't think that's technically any better but oh well...

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
