Well, despite all my red flags, I showed up as celiac negative. Thyroid tests were normal, too. I had some low D, elevated Folate, low Carbon Dioxide, and my Neutrophils, Blood Quantitative was 8.2 (Higher Than Normal) and Lymphocytes/100 Leukocytes, Blood Quantitative 16.0 (Lower Than Normal). No idea what all that means. On the plus side, my iron levels were normal. They're usually way low.
Results:
Tissue Transglutaminase Ab.IgA, Serum Quantitative <0.5 U/mL Final
Tissue Transglutaminase Ab.IgG, Serum Semi-quantitative <0.8 U/mL Final
Gliadin Ab.IgA, Serum Quantitative 0.9 U/mL Final
Gliadin Ab.IgG, Serum Quantitative <0.4 U/mL Final
I did go off of milk, and my "C" issue seemed to be resolved, but I got what looks like a Dermatitis Herpetiformus rash on my elbows even after stopping the milk and the rash in my hairline is still present. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the celiac was negative... but now what the heck is is?
Symptoms were:
-Rash that looks like HP- have had off and on since I was a teen. I took pictures of my most current outbreak on my elbow to bring to the Dr.
-Scalp psoriasis
-chronic constipation and mucous in stool. Average 1 BM a week. (no milk= everyday poop!)
-Painful gas. Like knives in my gut. I started taking a probiotic, and that's been relieved considerably. It would double me over.
-Always have had low iron
-I shed a lot of hair
-bloating
-bad migranes as a teen (HP was worse then too) and occasional migraine now
infertility (took 4 yrs to conceive my son)
-Prone to cracks in corners of my mouth
