They did the biopsy on only one lesion, and 2 other spots on clear skin right next to a lesion. My instructions were to apply polysporin onto the stitches and keep it covered with a bandaid until I return for results, man oh man do I have a bad reaction to the bandaid. I actually think it is the adhesive. I can't wait to have all this done!

Hi all, I am fairly new here and have a couple of questions. I have gone to my pcp and she did some blood work that she says is negative (tTG 11 units), I am not sure what normal is she wouldn't say. I have a classic looking DH rash so she wants me to see the dermatologist but wanted to wait on sending me to the GI doc since I don't clearly have any GI symptoms...

Well I got the results of blood tests and saw a new pcp. She actually only ordered the tTG/IGA test in addition to the routine blood test for a new patient. I am not really sure what the result of the tTG test means for me because I can't seem to find anywhere what the normal range should be. My result was 11 units??? She did refer me to a dermatologist to...

I took a look at your pictures. WOW! That looks painful. I have DH, just went to Doc today. She is running and entire blood screen including a celiac panel, and sending me to dermatologist to confirm DH. Are gluten free yet? I sure hope you can get a handle on that. Good luck!

Yes, thank you it helps alot. I do think I have DH. I have not started a gluten free diet yet because I am hoping to get the neccessary testing done. Just in the past two days I have more new spots. I have several in all different stages of healing. They usually heal then leave a purplish mark for a few weeks. Is it posible to test postive for DH and then...

I am going to see my primary doctor (new to me by the way), and I would love any advise on what kind of questions I should ask and tests that I should make sure get ordered. I am hoping the benefit of seeing a new doctor will help with this. My mother has had a lot of gastrointestinal problems for as long as I can remember including a surgery for hiatel hernia...

I have a rash on my back, shoulders, thighs, and arms. I have had this for almost a year and seems to be getting progessivly worse. So far DH seems the only likely candidate. I really do not have any other symptoms of celiac.
