Hi guys,

I just wanted to ask all the DH succeeded out there wether or not your DH flares up on contact with gluten, Wethersfield it straight forward bread or a cosmetic cream/ lotion etc?

For myself I find this is the case- I don't have to digest gluten to get a reaction.

My medical team keep trying to tell me this doesn't happen--- what's your opinion guys??!

Thanks in advance

J xx

Gluten just has to come into contact with a mucous membrane to cause a reaction. Any thing on your skin or hair has the possibility of being transfered by rubbing your eyes, nose or eating something with a lotion residue on your hands. While gluten is not thought to pass through intact skin if you have active DH lesions your skin is not intact.

I avoid gluten in all topicals, there are a few of us who don't need to though. Generally if in doubt leave it out for a bit and see if things improve. Also with DH you need to avoid iodine. Iodine will keep the antibodies active in your skin.

      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.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      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.
