The Yahoo Low Oxalates link is incorrect in my last posting. Should be: http://health.groups...ng_Low_Oxalates

Or you can google the Yahoo Group - Trying Low Oxalates. You will need to join the group before you can view the resources or participate in the forums.

I hope this information helps others with LS.

I have lichen sclerosus and was just diagnosed with celiacs which is in my family. I don't know how long I had LS before it was biopsied. I don't have the burning and itching, so I figured it was part of my vitiligo. I'll start the gluten free diet later this month and I would be very happy if it also helped clear up the LS. I didn't even know that was a possibility. LS is an autoimmune and comes in packs like the others. In addition to those 3, I also have Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Brand new to the group and first post. I recently discovered I'm gluten sensitive. I also have a fairly mild case of LS, which came up quickly in 2008 during a time of great stress. Was not diagnosed with LS for a long time however! Due to LS I developed squamous cell carcinoma, which led me to research, and I self diagnosed the LS. Was finally confirmed in December!

I discovered the gluten sensitivity very recently after going on an elimination cleanse. It does make sense that the two could be related as well. I'm hoping that eliminating gluten will help with the LS.

Best of luck to you!
