Question 1

i noticed that i develop skin rashes when i consume gluten.i have no other symptoms other than that.does that mean i have celiac disease? can it be a mild form of it?or maybe can it be just gluten intolerence? what symptoms does celiac disease cause?

Accepted Answer

: Gluten is but one component in the complex structure of several grains. In celiac, consumption triggers antibodies that mostly attack the gut lining leading to cramping/diarrhea/pain. You are more likely to have a simple allergy to some of these items, not celiac. Blood tests that show specific antibodies in a person consuming gluten help define celiac. Intestinal biopsy is the standard for dx.

Question 2

is rashes usually a symptom of celiac disease/gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy?

Accepted Answer

DH: Dermatitis herpetiformis is an extremely itchy rash made of bumps and blisters. The rash is chronic, which means it continues over a long period of time.
Dermatitis herpetiformis usually begins in people age 20 and older, although children may sometimes be affected. It is seen in both men and women.
The cause is unknown. However, dermatitis herpetiformis is frequently linked to gluten sensitivity.

Question 3

i develop skin rashes when i eat wheat related food(probably gluten).i took an allergy test and i got a positive result of wheat allergy.is it possible to have both wheat allergy and celiac disease?can celiac also cause positive wheat allergy result?

Accepted Answer

: Celiac disease involves the production of antibodies to gluten that also attack body tissues, often the gut. Allergy involves the triggering of histamines that often cause rashes or other symptoms. A person can have both an allergy to wheat &amp; antibody triggering from gluten intake. You define celiac by having the antibody tests &amp; if positive, an intestinal biopsy.

Question 5

help! is it possible to have a gluten rash(dermatitis herpetiformis) without being having celiac disease?

No!: It is actually the only celiac manifestation that is 100% specific for celiac--meaning if you have dermatitis herpetiformis you have a 100% chance of having celiac disease. Sorry.

Question 6

i'm bring tested for celiac disease i started my gluten free diet last night still feeling horrible after eating could this be another allery?

Depends: You may be reacting to other foods as well. Remember it can take 6 months or longer for a gluten damaged gut to heal. So one day may not show a difference.

scerevisiae antibody, igg antibody positive but scerevisiae antibody, iga negative.i have possible celiac disease and been gf the last 6 months.positive antibodies for celiac 6months ago but neg biospies.what s. cerevisiae antibody, igg positive mean?

Accepted Answer

: Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgG antibodies are found in 60-70% of Crohn disease (CD) patients and 10-15% of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Both of these are contained within the disease heading of Irritable bowel Disease: an autoimmune disorder that affects various parts of your intestines/bowels. Gluten sensitivity can make these worse, but do not cause them. Talk to a Gastroenterologist.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

1:133: Average risk of celiac is 1:133 in the us.  If there is a family history of celiac then the risk increases.

Question 9

how can i treat celiac disease?

Accepted Answer

Gluten Free diet: The treatment for celiac disease is to avoid all foods containing gluten.  Gluten is most commonly found in barley, wheat and rye grains.  You must be a very careful label reader and check for these items in the ingredients list.  There are many more gluten free options available in the supermarkets now.  If you have been diagnosed with celiac this is a lifelong diet plan.
