    It shows that it is an jpg but the image was originally a screenshot and in a different format so I’m guessing that’s the issue. basically said that there is “no specific disposition of IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, or fibrin” from “immunoflorescence punch biopsy”. There was a second test noted “Superficial Perivascular Dermatitis w Eosinophils” ...

    New test results uploaded to my patient portal - negative. I have an appointment with my dermatologist next week to get stitches out and allergist a week from Monday for patch testing. If I had a pcp right now, I’d ask them about the genetic test but I’m in a holding pattern there (have one on paper but can’t see me until November; new insurance in Ju...

    It is entirely possible that it was sent to a different lab that does the more complex tests but I will certainly ask. I thought they were doing 2 close together (because she said she would logically want to do a general one as well for something that isn’t going away). I am hoping i don’t have to do this twice lol

Diabetes does run in family and I tested pre-diabetic once years ago (not at time of the celiac test). They monitor that pretty closely. Itching & rash doesn’t seem to correspond. i...

    Right. I didn’t list the numbers because they were not even close to the ends of the reference range. IGA normal range was 81-463. Mine was 148 TTG IGA AB negative range was <5. Mine was < 3

    Thank you for that resource. i know I’d been tested in the past & it was normal. I went back through 2 sets of records & saw it was back in 2010. Labeled as TTG-IGA with two results/ lGA AB IGA A I swear I’ve had it done more recently, but can’t currently access tests done by a former pcp with another health organization. That would...

    Hi. New here but you’ve been coming up in my searches for a while. Is it possible to have dermatitis herpetiformis and not celiac, or to test negative on the blood tests? A friend with celiac mentioned that they had itching and bruising and I might want to look into it. It seems to have a broad presentation in how it looks but could fit. ...
