Random Question:

Does anyone get an allergic reaction from using the razors? Perhaps the soap band/ or moisture strip on the razor? :blink:

Random indeed :P

I can't use disposable razors because they break my legs out in a rash. I always figured it was cause it was cheap razor or something along those lines, never thought of it as an allergic reaction. Now you've made me ponder this great mystery. :ph34r:

I can't use disposable razors either they always leave razor burn. I use a Gillette Mach 3 men's razor to shave my legs. It's much better quality than the women's razors I have tried and I can go a long time before having to change the blades.

I use a Gillette Fusion... the same kind my husband does! Men's razors are waaaay better and last a lot longer. No razor burn at all :)

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      I forgot to mention that I wasn’t prepared to take a celiac test so when I took this test I was pretty gluten free except for some cheat meals here and there. But I was about 98% gluten free at that point except I had gluten a few times a few days before this test by coincidence. So I probably skewed the numbers a bit by accident.

      Keep us posted and let us know the results of the biopsy. Your case is atypical in a way in that you have this high DGP-IGA but normal TTG-IGA so knowing how it turns out will give us more data for similar situations that may be posted in the future.

      Fair enough! I very easily could have misread somewhere. Celiac is very confusing lol but I should know in a little over a month what the final verdict is. Just thought chatting with people smarter than myself would get me in the right mindset. I just thought that DGP IGA was pretty high compared to some stuff I had seen and figured someone on here would be more willing to say it is more than likely celiac instead of my doctor who is trying to be less direct. She did finally say she believes it is celiac but wanted to confirm with the biopsy. I did figure it wouldn't hurt seeing what other people said too just because not all doctors are the best. I think mine is actually pretty good from what I have seen but I don't know what I don't know lol. Sorry lot of rambling here just trying to get every thought out. Thanks again!

      No, you don't necessarily need multiple testing methods to confirm celiac disease. There is an increasing trend for celiac diagnoses to be made on a single very high tTG-IGA test score. This started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was extreme stress on the healthcare system there and it is spreading to the US. A tTG-IGA score of somewhere between 5x and 10x normal is good enough by itself for some physicians to declare celiac disease. And mind you, that is the tTG-IGA, not the DGP-IGA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac antibody testing, the one test most commonly ordered and the one that physicians have the most confidence in. But in the US, many physicians still insist on a biopsy, even in the event of high tTG-IGA scores. Correct, the biopsy is considered "confirmation" of the blood antibody testing. But what is the need for confirmation of a testing methodology if the testing methodology is fool proof? As for the contribution of genetic testing for celiac disease, it cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease while only 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But it can be used to rule out celiac disease. That is, if you don't have the genes, you don't have celiac disease but you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).
