Healing From Gluten Related Disorders

HI all,

I have lichen planus which I have had on and off for many years, it is linked to gluten and I have only just over the last few months confirmed that I am sensitive to gluten through and elimination diet.

My question is, if gluten is related to my Lichen planus how long after abstaining from gluten does it take for related symptoms to dissipate or clear up?

Thanks in advance

I was diagnosed with celiac a year and a half ago,about 3 months later I was diagnosed with LP, I had it wide spread and was put on a immune suppressant drug to calm it all down. It took about a year. I still flair on occasion. Stress is defiantly a trigger for me. Being gluten free helps but it doesn't mean you still won't flair. I wish you all the best, LP as you know is not fun to have but then I think that there are worse things. At least I'm able to control it with topicals now.

Thanks sweetpea,

It is a horrible condition which can really get you down but like you said there are worse things. There definitely seems to be a Gluten connection with this condition. Sometimes I can be LP clear on pretty much my whole body and only have it on my penis, it drives me crazy and really impacts my personal life.

If you can get in the ocean do so, it does wonders for the skin. Good luck

The ocean you say, well I would welcome that right about now since I'm in wisconsin and they are predicting wind chills tonight and tomorrow of 25 below zero! I have LP vaginally also so I know what you are saying about impacting your personal life.I didn't realise you were male when I replied, I don't think this is common is men so was suprised. Please let me know if you find anything that is helpful keeping it calm. Good luck to you as well.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
