Good answer. Next week, I will have a reply from my doctor on the rashes. I will update at that point. I will then try gluten free or dairy free, one at a time.

Yes. I was going to ask the people on here about it. I know Celiac and NCGS have similar symptoms, but what are the things that set them apart, or are mutually exclusive of the other? If I have NCGS, would the doctor have seen signs of inflammation? I had the knee rash in the same spot that is in the top picture, when you Google dermatitis...

Hello, everyone. Thanks for sticking through this with me, and all the great info and replies. It’s not looking like celiac. The doctor said it is most likely IBS. 2 small polyps we’re discovered. No villi damage or any signs of inflammation. They did take biopsies of polyps and something during the endoscopy to rule our celiac. I was informed to ...

I’m glad to hear it. I’m putting my guess in as no celiac, but we will see…
-
Nope. The big day is tomorrow. Is the prep really worse than the procedure?
-
Had some blood tests done. If my albumin levels are slightly elevated, what are my chances of having Celiac? I have read that Celiac typically causes low albumin… Potassium was in range.

The procedure is getting pushed out one week, due to sickness. Does anyone want to guess for fun, if it’s Celiac, NCGS, or something unrelated, based on the information I have provided?

I am not sure. When I explained all my symptoms last year, he said he wanted to do an endoscopy and colonoscopy. I asked him if he thought I had celiac at the time, too. He said we should get the tests done, and go from there. I will specifically ask him about this before the procedure. Thanks for pointing that out.

A lot of great info from your replies here. It has been awhile since we last talked. I am still experiencing symptoms. I have decided to get a colonoscopy and endoscopy, as the timing for it has worked out very well. I am getting those in about two weeks, and will report the results. If I am negative for Celiac, I will still go gluten free...

Here are two pictures of the rashes on the underside of my arms. They both occurred at the same time, along with rashes on both knees. All of it occurred over 2 months ago. https://ibb.co/7rCMWQK https://ibb.co/PMcDLkz As of now, I only have the rash remaining on the right knee, which is in the picture, in the post above.

Thanks, everyone. I’m mulling over my next move. I took another picture of, what I believe to be, DH. Can anyone weigh in on if it looks like DH to him or her? https://ibb.co/hfMvMpj

I also noticed that all 4 numbers for my test were at the absolute bottom of the scale. Does that seem odd to you?
-
Thanks. If Celiac was causing all those stomach and excrement issues, wouldn’t it have damaged the villi at some point, since I have had the stomach issues for probably 20 years?
-
Thanks for the response. I’m not sure what the equivalent is to two pieces of wheat toast. How do you measure gluten? I just ate multiple things with gluten each day, like fig bars, pizza, pasta, etc. I had pizza and fried chicken strips the other day, and that caused explosive diarrhea and stomach pain, soon after the chicken strips. I had pizza for lunch, ...

If this thread is needlessly redundant, feel free to delete this thread. I just wanted people to see the results for lurkers that was a point of reference. tTg-IgA 1.7 U/mL Above 5.4 is abnormal tTg-IgG 3.3 U/mL Above 6.4 is abnormal DGP-IgA 4.1 U/mL Above 14.7 is abnormal DGP-IgG 6 U/mL Above 10.5 is abnormal I don’t understand h...
