Is there a connection between this and celiac? We belong to the "Health Problem of the Month Club" and he was assigned lymphederma for June 2006. We really would like to cancel our subscription.

Anyone have experience with this? What are compression bandages? I know they are not ACE bandages.....

I have had this although it is much better since I have been gluten-free. You may want to ask your doctor to a refferral to a physical therapist. Mine showed me excercises and massage to help with the fluid build up.

      Help Understanding Test Results

      Yes, the TTG-IGG was positive but not the TTG-IGA.

      Test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For someone with celiac disease who might have extreme villi damage the term "cross-reactivity" gets thrown around a lot.  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      This test was positive according to the original post, so the next normal step would be a biopsy: TTG IGG - 9 U/mL (0-5 range) @Brown42186 Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By trents · Posted

      Connie, spinach is high in oxalates. Many celiacs do not tolerate oxalates well.  If you are still battling dermatitis herpetiformis, you may want to look into a low iodine diet as well as reviewing possible sources of gluten cross contamination.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you eat outside your home, especially in restaurants, as this can be a source of cross-contamination. If you need to take dapsone still your diet may not be 100% gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
