Just wondering, just noticed ds has these all over the back of his arms. I"ll try to get a picture up tomorrow...I don't think it itches, I never see him scratch his arms(it's on the back of his arms) and never complains that it's itchy.

I've looked at lots of pictures and still can't tell what it is, I'll be making a derm appointment for him, but thought I"d check here. :)

DH ITCHES!!!!! And or burns & or stings.

However, it could be a precursor to dh.

Could it be keratosis pilaris? I have this problem, it has caused me great embarrassment before I knew what it was.

There are other skin conditions associated with celiac disease: Open Original Shared Link

It may be one of those.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
