So, They found out the root behind my issues. Man, do I wish it was celiac now...although I'm sure it is frustrating for Grandpa and all of you please do not forget to count your blessings. There are worse things than celiac out there.

                                                                                          me

p.s. thanks for being here to listen and enjoy your lifestyles!

So sorry to hear that. But before you go you should know that untreated celiac can lead to lots of other nasties, from RA to cancer. It might just be (given your family history) that you ALSO have celiac, and perhaps a gluten-free diet will help in your fight with this other problem. Or at least make you feel a little better.

Thanks guys. I know bartfull. I found myself wondering about that. Really enjoy life, no matter what you eat! It's too short, precious, and unpredictable. If you don't have faith, find it you may need it someday. Blessings

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
