Nope.  Iodine makes the DH antibodies tTg 3 more active.
Blood tests for Celiac Disease tests for tTg 2. 
TTg 3 is found in DH eruptions.  
TTg 6 is found in Celiac people with ataxia because it attacks the bra...

Good question, @Sobiha!
It takes about eighteen months to two years for the autoimmune response to gluten to quiet down.  
Of course, healing depends on how much damage was present at diagnosis and with the start of a...

You may want to postpone getting any more gluten free flours until you have been checked by your doctor.  If exposure to King Arthur gluten free flour has caused breathing problems, that could be a sign of allergic anaphylaxis which ...

@Jean Carrithers,
Hello!  I'm sorry you are having such difficulties.  Yes, I have had to deal with anxiety like you're talking about.

Yes, the urge to eat an entire loaf of bread will go away.  
Our bodies crave that bread because traditionally bread has been a source of B vitamins and some minerals for us.

I found it helpful to cut tomatoes and peppers out of my diet for a time while healing. 
Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and eggplant are nightshades which contain glycoalkaloids which promotes ...

I take my B vitamins earlier in the day.  The B12, Thiamine and Niacin can make one feel energized.  Magnesium is a cofactor with some B vitamins, so you might not be bothered by insomnia if you add a magnesium glycinate or magnesium c...

Yes, reactions to molecularly similar proteins like avenin in oats and casein in dairy can trigger reactions like gluten causes. 
Try this Autoimmune Protocol Diet that removes plant proteins like these and more that cause irritation ...

@Acacia Voynar,
Oh, Candida and SIBO!  I know how miserable that is!  For mine, I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP diet) and supplemented with B Complex vitamins and extra (high dose) Thiamine and Riboflavin.

@Snoopy23456,
Hello!  
If it was plain ground beef, there's a slim chance it was contaminated with gluten.  
What could be happening is that the beef was high in histamine.  Steers raised and fattened in crowded feed...

Yes, the one without xantham gum!
And some B Complex vitamins!  because gluten free products are not required to be enriched with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing products are.

@Alnlv, welcome to the forum!
I have Celiac and DH (dermatitis herpetiformis) and I get urticaria sometimes.

Do get checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

@GlutenbusterMama,
Let's keep in mind that the digestive tract has a limited vocabulary.  Not everything is caused by gluten. 
Yes, there's a connection between a diet high in sugar and insufficient Thiamine Vitamin B...

@Sarah8527,
That's like comparing apples and oranges.  I discourage the use of that comparison.  It's two different organs that function in two different ways, hence different kinds of pain.  
Instead use some injury you...

It's simply that the levels of antibodies against gluten have dropped because you were on a gluten free diet.  Some of the cells that produce the antibodies have died off.  Continued exposure to gluten will cause more antibody producing c...
