"Although dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs for life once it appears, permanent remission is reported to occur in 10-20 percent of patients, usually after long-term adherence to a gluten-free diet."

Perhaps they worded the sentence wrong? Should it read "permanent remission is reported to occur in 10-20 percent of patients who adhere to life-long gluten free diet'?

or....can DH really go into permanent remission? And could these "reported" people potential hold a cure for DH within they're immune systems? Ahh wow, total critical thinking but the possibilities have my mind racing...

Maybe they mean people on a gluten-free diet don't get DH anymore? I'm wondering if it's only 10-20% that go into "remission" because most people get accidentally glutened from time to time and the DH flares up?

This was mentioned by the dermatologist who diagnosed my family member.

But as a practical matter, how would you know? If you didn't have any symptoms after ingestion, maybe you are just in the "silent" mode, especially since the outward signs don't always match the inward damage.

      Legumes can be a source of wheat contamination, but I assume that you use versions labelled "gluten-free."

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. 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.):

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.
