Another thought. Since this rash started in Feb 2016, I've had multiple episodes of being extremely ill when the rashes were very inflamed. Has anyone else experienced 'flulike' illness with celiacs?

Wow! That's very interesting! I did have the ttg and genetic tests. The TTG was negative but thinking back, I was on prednisone. Is there any other blood tests you can recommend? Im eventually planning an EGD but with a mystery infection it's too risky, as they plan to do 6 or 7 biopsies, which could spread any potential infection into my blood stream...

Thank you for the welcome. I did have 7 skin biopsies and they told me none of them were DH. Is there any other testing method?

Also, I had some gluten-free flour made with garbanzo beans, fava beans and tapioca. During the night my rashes got very inflammed, red and itchy. Today I've had 5 very loose stools and I don't feel well. Has anyone with celiacs had problems with any of those ingredients? Thanks

I am new to this forum but have been dealing with suspicious symptoms for over a year now. I had a positive sputum anti- gliadin antibody in 2007. My doctor told me to stop eating gluten, even though I was not aware of any symptoms. I'd always had an irritable bowel but made no connection. I but did take his advice though Fast forward, February...
