Thanks! You have confirmed my suspisions. I am almost certain that my rash may be due to a sensitivity to histamines as I have reacted to histamine and amine rich foods with mouth ulcers and headaches. I have a lot of symptoms of gut malabsortion and food sensitivity so I may trial eliminating gluten anyway to see if it has any effect on my...

Hi, Is DH relieved with antihistamines (cetrizine etc)? I have been getting an itchy rash that fits the description of DH but the itching rapidly dissapears on taking antihistamine tablets. Does this mean that the rash is more likely to be an allergy type reaction than DH?

Could this be a sign of a gluten or wheat intolerance?

Does anyone know what this means? Would low IgA levels make the celiac test less accurate? (her total serume protein levels were in the normal range, her albumin...

My DD does have some grains in her diet. She nearly always has porridge and toast with vegemite for breakfast, approx. 1 slice of white bread a day and occassionally a savoy or teddy bear biscuit. Would this put enough gluten in her system for the blood test to be accurate? It is very reassuring to know that the dairy problems may cure themselves if she...
