I Could Have Told Them That....

So the biopsy of the blister came back.....inconclusive with possible diagnosis being eczema and psoriasis....

 

Well I could have told them that. 

 

The immuno-florescent study of the uninvolved skin has not come back yet.  The nurse said "well it says it is not diagnostic of DH"- Duh.   I told them the biopsy of the blister wouldn't diagnose DH.

Always lovely when the doctors know what they're doing.........typed with extreme sarcasm. :)
 

Hopefully the other, correct test, will come back with real information!

IKR!!   I wanted to be like, well, thanks for the waste of money....we already knew she had eczema, and if the DH test comes back positive, it probably isn't psoriasis!  I don't think it is psoriasis, but if it is, it is just another Celiac symptom......

Plus, when I google pictures of psoriasis, that is NOT what her rash looks like at all.  Once the blisters pop, dry, and then eventually peel, they kind of.....sort of...maybe look like that-  ish.....  It is a stretch.

Aggravating! Did they tell you how long it would be for the other test to come back?

 

Sometimes, it's nice to be vindicated. Other times, while it's nice to be vindicated....it is also rather bittersweet. :(

I've had my fill of doctors lately....and pharmacy people too. Heaven knows what we're going to have to go through with the people that work at CVS here when we tell them that all his medication has to be gluten free. I can picture it already....and it isn't good. :/ I really wish I could go back to my local Walgreens! Grumble...grumble....grumble!!!

Nope.  They told me their courier comes every day at 4 and to feel free to call.  The nurse said she would call me as soon as she got the results, but I called yesterday before she looked at the reports.

 

As far as pharmacies go- be prepared to have to call the medicine manufacturers and for them to give you a canned line of "we do not certify our products but can tell you there are no ingredients that naturally have gluten in them".  Pain!

Awesome. I already dislike CVS...this is only going to add to it (even though I know it isn't their fault, they drive me nuts enough to make it their fault!) wonderful.

I hope those results come in soon. That response would have driven me nuts. My offices usually tell me it should be here within so many days and if we haven't called you by this day...please call us.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      They will have to put him back on gluten in order to get accurate tests results, so all the progress may be lost for a while. My grandson was 2 1/2 years old when he, his father, and his mother, were diagnosed.  He was not even on the chart for height or weight and had not been on the chart since he was 12 months old.  The first month he went gluten free he gained 6 pounds and grew an inch.  Unfortunately, he missed a whole lot of opportunity to grow in those first years.  He remained the smallest, skinniest kid in the class until high school when he clawed his way into the middle row for pictures.  He is 20 and topped out at 5 ft 6 inches.  His mother is 5'7 in a family where everyone is 6 feet tall or more.   His younger brother was 7 months old when he was diagnosed.  At 18 he is 6ft tall.  Best to catch it as early as possible.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      Maybe you picked up a little intestinal virus? Maybe some ingredient in the gluten free processed foods you've been consuming is causing this. In order to simulate the texture that wheat provides, a lot of gluten free products contain ingredients that may cause digestive distress. Xanthan gum and similar polysaccharides are among the chief offenders.

      Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment.  It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.

      Diabetes like symptoms and more

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      Hi. So for a month or two I had been experiencing extreme pain around my left rib going right up to underneath my breast, I went to hospital and the GP many times and one day it just came across my mind maybe I’m celiac/ gluten intolerant (celiac runs in my family)! I instantly stopped consuming anything with gluten (tbh everything I was eating was full of it) and the day I stopped having gluten the pain instantly disappeared, the next day I had a GP appointment about the pain & I informed him it just stopped instantly and explained why I believe I’m intolerant! I’m waiting on test results as of now, however I have still had absolutely no pain whatsoever today I’ve started to have diarrhea which I haven’t had in at least two months, I was severely constipated whilst consuming gluten! Just wondering would this be a symptom of gluten withdrawal? I’ve done a grocery shop from the “free from” gluten section, I’ve been very careful as I’m terrified the pain will start again!
