So I know topic has been explored before but here goes

trying to get a diagnosis 

brother type 1 diabetic at age 17

I had my gallbladder removed at 40 with resulting IBS

Anxiety off and on for years 

symmetrical blister like rash on palms for years. Comes and goes mostly mild 

I usually eat low carb diet to help with IBS

poor teeth enamel

all celiac test result Iga Tttg Ttta EMA were normal. But I was on a Gluten lite type diet. I  ate occasional gluten Probably 80%. Less than the average person. No special cross contamination precautions taken. Just picked the croutons out of the salad used regular shampoo shared utensils  etc ..

I was having an exacerbation of IBs symptoms and rash at the time of  celiac testing

are the blood test results like inaccurate  ?  Seems like if I was having symptoms the antibodies would be present  I don't know

Welcome.  You might consider asking for the DGP celiac tests.  I personally have never had a positive on the TTG or the EMA -- even on follow-up testing, yet my biopsies revealed intestinal damage.  The other thing to consider is that some 10% of celiacs are seronegative.

Stay on gluten. Keep pushing for answers. Get as comprehensive testing as you possibly can. If celiac is finally excluded do not discount the possibility that gluten is a problem for you nonetheless:

At that point you have nothing to lose and potentially much to gain from trialling the gluten free diet. 

Best of luck! :)

      I use Listerine.  Rinse first to soften the tarter, then brush with Oral B electric toothbrush super sonic.  The $15 ones at the supermarket.  At 73 I still have all my teeth.  While a blood test can measure iodine levels, it's not the most accurate method for assessing iodine status, and urinary iodine excretion is considered a better indicator.  Have any of your dermatologists ever done a biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis?  I may have missed it.  Note the similarity of Casal's necklace to one of your symptoms. Pellagra rash is a characteristic skin manifestation of niacin (vitamin B3) deficiency. It typically presents as:  Erythema: Red, sunburned-like areas of skin, often on the face, neck, arms, and legs.  Scaliness: Dry, flaky skin that may become thickened and crusty.  Hyperpigmentation: Darkened patches of skin, particularly in sun-exposed areas.  Casal's necklace: A dark, pigmented band around the neck.  I am currently taking these} Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine  10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg 4 times a day for hyperlipidemia. B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg     Selenium 200 mcg  Several times a week

      I will. Thanks. I did just have mg B12 drawn. I should also state that I am already taking a Vit D supplement, as I live in the US in New England sand just about everyone who lives here is deficient, esp during our winters with less exposure to natural sunlight. I was also taking a chewable bariatric vitamin as well because of my food issues related to my cancer treatment (which was many years ago, but there are long term effects.) I just stopped it because I was unable to get any gluten information about it. And it did contain iodine. Is there even a vitamin that doesn’t? I don’t know, but I will check. I also take Calcium and Magnesium in the form of “Rolaids” for leg cramps/spasms, with good effects. Thanks.

      @Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine.  It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test.

      Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:
