I know this is some really important info. for us & may give those of us with dh a better chance for testing & dx. I'm not that great at understanding EXACTLY how much hope this gives us though. Some of you have a better grasp of medical techno lingo &/or may be able to access the entire article. Would like comments on this.

I can't being anything intelligent to the discussion but what is the GAF3x?

Hmm. I looked on the LabCorp site and don't see it - or don't think I see it. I wonder which labs offer it.

This is also what they say is better for detecting celiac in children.

Yes, but how do you GET it?

squirmingitch Veteran

I haven't the foggiest notion. I did a search too for Labs who do it & couldn't get anywhere --- just kept coming up with the article abstract.

Ask doctors?

Dunno. But it does look promising, as far as a tool for detecting DH / celiac without biopsy!

I took it to mean that in tests (done correctly) the false negative level will be 30%. Or possibly the false positive rate. In any case it appears that the tests will be slightly better and there are at least eight researchers working on improving them. THat's good news to me.

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.

      By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% gluten-free diet?

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!
