Hellothere

Hi, everyone. I received my cyrex results back today: below are the relevant results. Array 3 Wheat Germ Agglutinate IgG: out of range 1.60 (reference range .4- 1.3) Alpha gliadin 17-mer IgG: out of range 1.74 (reference .1- 1.5) Omega Gliadin 17-mer IgG: equivocal 1.13 (reference .3- 1.2) Omega gliadin 17-mer IgA: equivocal .98 ...

Oh, really? I didn't realize I had to be on a gluten diet for the DH biopsy. Yeah, he didn't seem to know what DH looks like. I did mention he could save me an endoscopy if he did a DH biopsy. (so, yes, I mentioned the word celiac several times). I don't understand my bloodwork because I did the cyrex testing under the direction of my neighbor...

Thanks, everyone. The derm today said my face and neck is acne and my palm is a form of eczema and my arm is also a form of eczema. This derm is one I had gone to years ago and could get in soon since I am an established patient. The derm I want to go to didn't have a new patient appointment until a few weeks from now, so I am going to keep my appt with...

Thanks. I have a derm appt. On Wednesday.

This is the one on my palm... I apologize in advance because it is gross. This is the itchiest of them all. and it cycles. I'd pour acid on it if I thought it would stop the itching... (not going to do that but I assume you all know what I mean).

Does it tell you on the slip that any of your results are out of range? Are the ranges the same for all of the tests?

The itchiness and cycling sounds like what I have on my palm.

Maybe you should get an ANA (anti nuclear antibodies) test to rule out Lupus?

Yeah, that is what I was thinking: he may want to do other tests that would require a certain level of reaction on inflammation. And see a derm soon to get the rashes treated ASAP!

Hey, Tom. I don't know what will happen at the appointment-- the doctor is a cardiologist who also practices functional medicine and treats celiacs. (I'm in a bad location for these kinds of diseases...will have to go to the "big city"). The functional med doctor is only an hour away and he treated someone I know, so I figured what the heck. Yeah,...

Whatever I have on my neck, I have some Barleans organic coconut oil and slathered some on my neck last night and whatever it is looks so much better today.

Also, I'm rocking 3 different rashes/skin conditions right now. I have a functional medicine appointment in 3 weeks and wonder if I should still eat gluten. I had eliminated it yesterday, but now am wondering if I ought to eat it for 3 more weeks (though I feel so so so bad when eating it). thanks.

I had this neck rash about 3 years ago (came up after we were at the beach) and took forever to go away (like months) and then it popped up a few weeks ago. I did an ANA test for a lupus screen, and it came back negative. I took Cyrex labs tests, and I posted the results on the testing board (I dont know how to interpret them). The chin stuff is supposedly...

Did you by chance mean to say you have blood in your stool?

He apparently is an "advisor" to cyrex labs. BTW, cyrex labs came very highly recommended to me by my neighbor, who is an M.D. Who used them for himself.
