Bagels...

I have not been diagnosed with Celiac disease but I have been getting blisters on my buttocks for 8 years, I have seen 4 'specialists' and as I have Rheumatoid Arthritis every doctor says its something to do with that...well I did a detox in January omitting all gluten, suger etc from my diet and my blisters cleared up within 2 weeks.... I then started researching for a connection and found DH. I alway got my blisters when going on holiday, in USA I ate bagels every morning for breakfast and just suffered so badly, (my doctor said it was fear of flying that caused the blisters!) well to test my theory I ate no bagels for 3 months..no blisters...then 3 days ago I had one and today I have a cluster of blisters. Does anyone else only get the blisters with certain gluten foods? I have also had the blisters on my ears and elbows, but mainly buttocks, its so embarrassing I feel like a leper.

You need to be tested for celiac disease. Go see a Gastroenterologist doctor as soon as possible.

Yup I agree, go get tested...or have them test the blisters themselves!!! That is where I got them as well and still do if I get CC'd!!!

Note: You need to be eating gluten for the tests!

Good Luck and I hope you find some answers!

Good advice however make sure the doctor is well versed in DH. You need to biopsy the area next to the blisters, not the blisters themselves or you will get a false negative. If you have an active blister you would not have to be eating gluten specially for the biopsy but you do need to be consuming it actively for blood testing and endoscopic biopsies. Even then there is a risk of a false negative.

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.

      She finally has her appointment today. They said in their opinion it’s likely celiac. But repeated the bloodwork today. Her frost bloodwork was weak positive 5.3 (4-10 is a weak positive) Dr wanted her own labs. And they will be calling us to schedule the endoscopy.  They told her to keep Eating gluten. She has been eating is again for the last couple weeks.
