    Happy Birthday Tiffany! May all your wishes come true (and I bet I know, but won't tell) ! And ditto, on the glad to have your here.

    I am afraid Glamour, that you would be doing yourself a disservice by not trying the diet 100%, in conjunctions with medicine, to control your DH. It take time and dedication. And eventually, you will find it's much better than a magic pill. If you are having trouble with the diet, we can help you along. It's hard, but it does get easier.

    Open Original Shared Link Skin biopsies performed on the affected skin are nearly always positive for IgA deposition.2 Blood tests for antiendomysial or anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies may also suggest celiac disease. This NIH statement does not say will also suggest celiac. It says it may suggest. That to me does not mean a definitive...

    I agree 100%, a gluten induced autoimmune response can be found in many parts of the body. But when it occurs in the small intestines, it's called Celiac. DH is a gluten induced autoimmune response in the skin, Cerebral Ataxia can effect the muscles and the brain. I'm just saying that where is manifests itself, carries a different name and reference...

    Open Original Shared Link Dermatitis herpetiformis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic, intensely pruritic (itchy) symmetric groups of vesicles, papules, and wheals (hives), that may occur on the elbows, knees, arms, legs, shoulders, scalp, buttocks, neck, and face. Dermatitis herpetiformis, which is also known as Duhrings’s disease, Brocq-D...

    DH is closely associated with Celiac Disease, but it's not exclusive to Celiac.

    Hello and welcome! It is recommended that you continue with a gluten diet until all tests are exhausted. To continue on with the endo, is up to you. Many people here are self diagnosed and they feel quite comfortable with that choice. A positive dietary response can also be diagnostic of a gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease.

    Yeah for You!!! Feeling good, feels great!

    Well...there is no specific "Celiac Gene". There are some identified genes that CAN be associated with Celiac as well as other autoimmune disorders. Thirty percent of the general, non-Celiac, population also carry the gene. If you carry the gene, it is no guarantee that you will ever develop Celiac. The gene testing can rule out Celiac, but it cannot...

    My daughter is a full time chemist, doing full time work for a large company. They hired her as a temporary employee, with permanent status in three months. She has worked there for four years, full time-temp. They do not pay her any benefits what so ever, and not required too. She can't afford a personal plan. Is that the right thing to do? My...

    Great minds! I roasted cut up egg plant, zucchini, yellow squash, onions and brussel sprouts, tossed with olive oil and salt and pepper. And served it over some quinoa. It was a little too "earthy" for my husband though. I thought it was great.

    According to what I understand, gluten should not be an issue in injections, for those with Celiac.
  21. Lisa
    Yes I would, and I have. Many times, you will find companies issuing this same type of response. In a crazy-law-suit society, I consider that a CYA Statement. If I raise a tomato in my guarden and send it to market, I have no guarantee that it has not been in contact with other gluten containing produce or products....a silly example, but yet, one that...

    Here are somethings to look out for: https://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsaf...ents/Page1.html

    Also, we live in a law-suit happy society. Even though there are no gluten ingredients, companies don't list a product as gluten free unless they test. Learning to read labels, can give you the confidence to make informed choices.

    Welcome! Yes those symptoms that you listed could be associated with Celiac. I am sure you are anxious to get your results for the blood test. We have a lot of mothers here who have children with Celiac.
