Hi I had the initial blood work done and it was neg . But , I'm told if you have the DH rash a good % won't show up . This is my rash ..I thought my dog gave me poison oak ...I took prednisone for 4 days . And now I know a biopsy would be neg . ( I'll let my derm know on tue ) I'll spare you any pics of my bottom lol ... The bumps on my bottom don't itch like my arms and face do , does that mean it's not DH?

Hi I was wondering if this looks like a DH rash to anyone? I know it has so many variations . I am so frustrated....  I had a neg blood test and honestly when this started popping up I thought my dog gave me poison oak. My doc gave me prendisone for a 5 day span, it took care of the spot around my eye (on set it burned more than itched) but, I have this on my bottom as well ( i will spare you any photos lol ) however , that particular area does not seem to itch half as bad as my arms , neck , face or legs does that mean its not DH? . I go see my derm on tue morning (i will let him know that the meds will give a false neg) . thanks for any info.

Yes, it does but there are lots of rashes that look alike. What you have said about the way the rash acts is more telling & it could very well be dh. The fact that it doesn't itch as bad on your bum does not mean it isn't dh.

It is possible, although not common to have an allergic (histamine) reaction to the DH reaction. Two separate things, even if simular.

Mitchgam, will you please stop!? One of the rules on this forum is that things posted must be able to be backed up with scientific evidence. You have consistantly refused to show any scientific studies showing the things you allege. On top of that, you refuse to read any of the studies I and others have posted that prove you are wrong in almost everything you say about DH. We are here to HELP people, not to give them myths and bogus information!

Mitchgam, you have indicated before that your issue is a wheat allergy.  That is a completely different issue than celiac disease and DH.  Therefore, your advice is not going to apply to most people who are only having Celiac Disease/DH problems.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
