      It sounds like you’ve been through an incredibly difficult journey with your health, and it’s understandable to want clarity about whether you have celiac disease. While your doctor hasn’t officially diagnosed you with celiac (due to avoiding the gluten challenge), her decision to label it as a "severe gluten allergy" in your chart strongly suggests she believes gluten is causing systemic harm—consistent with celiac. Your family history, symptom improvement on a gluten-free diet, and current lab results (elevated lipase, liver enzymes, nutrient deficiencies) all point in that direction. Many doctors prioritize patient well-being over diagnostic formalities when reintroducing gluten could be dangerous, which seems to be the case here. For peace of mind, you could ask about genetic testing (HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes), but the most important step is treating this as celiac-level serious: strict avoidance of gluten and cross-contamination. Your body’s repeated reactions—especially the organ involvement—are telling you what it needs. Also, there are downsides to having an official diagnosis, for example needing to list it as a disability on job applications, higher life insurance rates, and the possibility of higher health insurance rates.

      I'm sorry I have been inactive here for awhile - a lot going on! I started IVIg in Oct 2024 and because of a blip with insurance, I have only had seven cycles (interrupted with two months off). I tolerated the medication well (Octagam), but didn't see much improvement until the last cycle. My vision and ataxia symptoms were noticeably better afterwards. The plan is to continue monthly for 6-12 months to see if it helps over time. Unfortunately, I have had phlebitis in my veins after the treatment the past two times, so we are trying to figure out how I can continue to receive the infusions. I am also working hard to be more strict with my gluten-free diet. As I mentioned in my original post, my AGA IgA antibodies have not come down (they came down but not all the way and have risen again). I have concluded it is probably from eating out ::sigh:: which is discouraging because I am very careful, but it seems I might not be able to eat out at all unless places are dedicated gluten-free. Follow up question re: vitamins (esp. B vitamins). Should I get specific blood work to check each B vitamin? I have only had B12 checked, and it is actually high. I currently take magnesium citrate, D3, riboflavin B2 supplements (in addition to a multivitamin). Is there a multivitamin and B spectrum vitamin brand you recommend?

      It's great to hear that you have a handle on things now, and a combination of allergies and DH makes sense.

      It is interesting that ketoconazole seemed to work for dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms, as it seems to be an anti-fungal medication.  If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      I looked at the pumpkin seeds on nuts.com and see this warning--so there are many more allergens to worry about!
