Could anybody with experience please tell me if I could substitute 2 cups Arrowroot Powder instead of Potato Starch? There’s this bread recipe I really want to make in my bread maker that calls for 2 cups potato starch, and potato starch is nowhere to be found in my area. We all know gluten-free baking products are so expensive, I don’t really wanna trial and...

@Daisy23 yes! Don’t give up! I know a lot of people will say celiacs won’t effect your skin/face. But don’t give up hope. Especially if lymphocytes were found in your biopsy. I can say since being gluten free for a couple of months now, that it has definitely made an impact on the rashes on my face. So much so, that if I try to eat out and I think I got i...

Thought I’d give everyone an update! I had an Endoscopy done in the middle of December, following the elevated tTg IGa blood test. Though to the eye, there was no damage, my doctor did call me a couple weeks ago saying my biopsy showed lymphocytes. They said that can be non-specific, but with my blood test, they’re going with celiacs, and they’re ...

Another UPDATE: I met with my GI doctor last week, and he said since my tTg IGa was elevated, he wanted to do the endoscopy. Which, I had done today. He said nothing was visibly seen as damage on the endoscopy, but that he took several biopsy’s, which I’ll know the results of in about a week. I’m assuming the biopsy's will be negative. Since typic...

Yeah, I have my blood test results in my original post. Only my tTg iGa was elevated. I have an my referral appointment with my GI doctor this Tuesday. After doing some talking, I started the gluten challenge Thursday night. That way by the time I see him, I would have been eating gluten for almost a week. So hopefully he will be able to schedule the endoscopy...

So, my doctors office finally gave me a call yesterday. They said my blood work was abnormal, and they’re referring me to a GI doctor for an endoscopy to rule out celiacs. With that, I think I decided to just continue to eat gluten free until I see the GI doctor and express to them my symptoms have been getting better over the last 3 weeks eating g...

UPDATE: Went to the dermatologist today. She prescribed me a steroid cream, as she said my eyelids were really thick and that I have dermatitis, but she believes if it were due to gluten, I’d have the rash on my elbows and knees, as well. On that note, I have called my nurse practitioner office twice since my lab work (3 weeks ago) and both t...

Thanks everyone! Still waiting to hear back from my NP!! 😩 I have an appointment with a dermatologist tomorrow, since I have been now experiencing tiny fluid type blisters all over my cheeks and chin, that almost feels like sandpaper. Along with the reoccurring flaking of my eyelids, & red splotchy rash around my eyes. I have changed to a gluten free di...
