Here is mine you have to forgive the legs. Hard to shave over those bumps. Mine started out felt like razor burn then developed blisters and finally turned into this. No diagnosis on it but the flower shape seems to be a theme. Any thoughts?

looks like DH, blisters and then the red rash. Afterwards they tend to leave scars.

Yup, looks like dh. Does it itch? How bad? Does it burn or sting?

Okay, here's your second chance roxie if the biopsy & repeat blood turn up neg. --- you can have the dh biopsied. BUT you STILL have to KEEP eating gluten until it's ALL done!

It did itch and burn but not anymore this is about 2 months old.

So would these be the scars? The blisters went away a long time ago but these ugly bumps are still here. :(

Well ick........ Grrrr Can't wait to be done testing. Regardless of outcome I am going gluten free. I felt much better in the short amount of time I did it.

I'm sorry. I hate being the bearer of bad tidings. But I also must tell you that the dh can flare even after going gluten-free. The antibodies have to get out of your skin before it lays down for good unless you get glutened. BUT maybe you will be one of the lucky ones whom it just disappears for. I surely hope so!

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

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

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      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?

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

      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.
