    When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wh...

    If the arsenic in rice doesn’t bother you then Tinkyada is the best pasta I recommend. I’ve ate it from day 1 after researching what I could and could not eat, along with locating such foods when first Dg’d. Granted, if you close your eyes while munching on rice pasta you may very well come to reality that it is rice no matter the cuisine you have created with ...

    Search “deamidated gliadin Abs, IgG is 26.6/abnormal high” online for articles on your exact question above, and I’m sure this forum has an expert in explaining your test results as well.

    In your whole posts the red flag raised is “villous atrophy,” this is serious as it is the villi that holds the nutrients until they are absorbed into the cells of the body… the focus should be on healing of the villi while maintaining gluten free diet. I’m sure there is a Dr’s and Specialist section on this forum that can assist you with more information. ...

    You can add Axonal Peripheral Neuropathy, Bone and Joints degeneration, Cataracts, Hypothyroidism, Gluten Bumps for those of us with dermatitis herpetiformis, and Malabsorption which contributes to so many other complications. Sadly though, other than gluten bumps all the aforementioned and many other autoimmune diseases, eventually, can and will take its...

    What is the correlation in taking supplemental Magnesium with D? I can attest to Dr. McCarthy when it comes to influenza. In all 7 full years that I took extremely high weekly dose D2 50K only once did I become ill with flu like symptoms. At the time I became ill I was sharing residence with a sibling, 3 children, and 1 additional adult - a full house...

    I have taken D2 50K oral capsules once weekly for 7 years consecutively due to a dangerously low deficiency level of 17. It took 3 whole years before I reached D level 34, followed by higher D levels up to low 70s. Two or three times throughout the following 4 yrs my labs would show slight high TSH (hypothyroidism). Is it possible that the last 4 of the...

    ADA, if that applies to you, has specific procedures, guidelines, rules, and regulations for employers to accommodate employees with disabilities. Check with your company HR Dpt. As Scott has mentioned this would be a quick fix, with the protection afforded employees with disabilities through ADA there is no need for you to job hunt. Hope this helps. ...

    Looks very similar... but if it doesn’t blister over then it ain’t DH! The immune system sends an antibody to pressure points which causes the rash, but the “gluten bumps” always form an ever so fragile blister to protect the antibody... Do not stop eating gluten before your biopsy of affected rash area or you will get a false reading. Bn dealing with it...

    Coeliac Disease symptoms and prevention is a learning curve for all of us. There are so many other issues we get to look forward to from this Disease… and it seems these issues keep increasing the more we maintain a gluten-free diet; our cure is our downfall, so it seems. Here in North America Coeliac Disease is still listed as a new and rare disease b...

    Here in the USA I was eating Skippy but the price got too much for my budget, so I ate Kroger store name brand or Peter Pan if on sale. Last couple months I’ve been eating Jiff cuz of the decent price and taste. Though Jiff is labeled gluten-free, with ur new post, I may have just identified why I’m getting glutened every so often, as I only eat 2 tbsp 2-3...

    Dg’d Dec. 2006 Instead of blisters, gluten bumps in the scalp are a crusty small dried build up that when pulled off are orange in tint. Gluten flare ups on the head react same as any others that appear at pressure points of the body. They all have a 7-10 day cycle of completely healing as in disappearing, as long as one remains gluten-free… “put i...

    Dg’d Dec. 2006 Hey, took dapsone for 2 years non-stop but it truly was the determined effort of maintaining a gluten-free diet as much as I could that contributed to flare ups lessening and eventually disappearing. Only took 25mg. Yes you heard correctly, only 25mg of Dapsone daily and within a very few days I completely cleared. My Dr. inquired after o...

    DH here… Dg’d Dec 2006. In answer to ur ?, yes something else cud, but I’m almost certain that gluten is the culprit. I have tried maintaining a gluten-free diet almost 13 years and for the last 5 or so I have been very diligent in keeping all gluten out as I started suffering from gut issues which affects one’s digestive system. Though very ca...
