Is This Peripheral Neuropathy?

I've noticed a few times over the past say 4-6 months that I'll get a tingling, itchy sensation on my right hand. It usually involves the skin on the back of my hand, my pinky finger mostly, sometimes the area near my wrist joint, sometimes my other fingers, but definitely most noticeable in the pinky. No pain. No numbness. Usually my hand will feel cold (but my hands and feet are always cold). I'll notice it most often when I'm driving or typing. I don't seem to have this sensation anywhere else, just the right hand. I was thinking carpal tunnel but descriptions of that seem to indicate it's more a thumb and fore finger issue and I don't notice any issues at night.

I have not been diagnosed yet with celiac (neg blood tests) and have been gluten free for just over 2 weeks.

Yes, it could be a neuropathy. It would be ulnar nerve rather than median nerve. You should have it checked out by a doctor.

      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.

      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.
