It sounds like you have scarring associated with the DH lesions. There is likely a treatment available that may be similar to dealing with acne scars, and you'd probably need to see a dermatologist about this. -
I've heard of too much iron causing a change in skin color similar to what you've described: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3805307/ and also liver issues that can cause jaundice, which makes your skin look more yellow, so definitely bring this change up with your doctor, as some basic blood tests can determine both.

Many people have ongoing symptoms after they go gluten-free, but it is somewhat unusual for there to be a 10 year interval between this, so be sure to keep working with your doctor to eliminate any possible issues that could cause this. This article might be helpful, as it covers many issues that can cause celiacs to not recover fully:

I believe you mentioned in another thread that you accidently ate some soy sauce with wheat in it. If that's the case, are you aware of the many hidden ingredients in foods that contain gluten? You might want to review this article to be sure:

If you have celiac disease, and it sounds like that is the case, then your son has an ~44% chance of developing it, and he does have a strong positive on this test, so I'd be concerned: Anti-Gliadin IgA 11.0 U/mL Range: 0.0 - 6.9 U/mL High Anti-Gliadin IgA Interpretation - Positive Abnormal The article below is older, but still valid...

Gluten symptoms coming back
Scott Adams replied to CaseyH's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
It's probably too late now, but this article might be helpful should this happen again: -
Symptoms get better and then worse and then better
Scott Adams replied to CaseyH's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
It seems that one diet does not fit all here, that is for sure. Be sure to keep a food diary so you can monitor how various foods affect you. In time you may be able to add certain foods back to your diet, but not others. -
No, I'm not paid to promote them in forum posts, but they do pay for banner ads here. You can read the peer reviewed research posted on their site and decide for yourself, and nationalceliac.org appear not to have done that: https://www.gliadinx.com/publications

Welcome to the forum @RVR! It would be a good idea to get a blood panel done for celiac disease before your son goes gluten-free, as it's definitely possible that he could have it, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, for which there currently are not tests available. It sounds like we may be too late for that, as he would need to be eating gluten...

The Mayo Clinic recommendation is to eat two slices of wheat bread daily before the biopsy. Also, you could have non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and currently there is no way to test for it. If your tests end up negative for celiac disease, you may still not find relief until you go gluten-free, and if this relieves your symptoms it's likely you have...

Symptoms get better and then worse and then better
Scott Adams replied to CaseyH's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Many celiacs seem to have additional food intolerance issues, and the number one that we see often here would be casein/cow's milk. Have you ever tried to be dairy-free for a month or two to see if it helps? -
Can you share your test results with us? I’m just curious because your levels may have been high enough to demonstrate that you’re reacting to gluten.

Brookside Dark Chocolates
Scott Adams replied to Trish01's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Chocolate can have a laxative and/or IBS effect in some people, so it’s still possible that your reaction is not due to gluten contamination. I’m not sure if it contains any artificial sweeteners, but some of these can also cause similar issues. -

Schar also makes a good alternative.

Coeliac blood test

Coeliac blood test
Scott Adams replied to Sue Brown's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Although it's difficult, it would be better if you could manage 6 more days of eating gluten so you could get the celiac blood panel done. We've seen a lot of self-diagnosed people here who forever wonder if they really need to be gluten-free, and some go back to eating gluten because they are not sure that they need to be gluten-free. A formal diagnosis... -
Hello Brenda, welcome to the forum! Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease? Are you on a gluten-free diet?

Welcome to the forum. I've had good experiences with Nature Made and Citracal supplements from Costco. I use the Nature Made B Complex, and Citracal without issues.

Having a restaurant card in Nepalese is great, and you may also want to take GliadinX with you, as it can break down small amounts of gluten in your stomach, before it reaches your intestines (they are a sponsor of this site). This would be perfect for small amounts of cross contamination that you might encounter. For what it's worth, I've eaten at...

Solerno Orange Liqueur
Scott Adams replied to Gary R.'s topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We're not sure either (it is distilled so likely gluten-free), but here is an article we did on this topic recently, so perhaps you can find a different one that works for you?
