    Celiac.com 11/20/2019 - Both atopic dermatitis and celiac disease are often accompanied by other immune-mediated disorders. A team of researchers recently set out to see if they could find a connection between atopic dermatitis and celiac disease in a broad community-based population.

    The research team included Guy Shalom, Khalaf Kridin, Keren-Or Raviv, Tamar Freud, Doron Comaneshter, Rivka Friedland, Arnon D. Cohen, and Dan Ben-Amitai.

    The team conducted a cross-sectional observational design, in which they collected demographic and clinical data for patients enrolled in a large health management organization who were diagnosed with atopic dermatitis by a dermatologist in 2002–17. 

    They recorded presence of celiac disease and celiac-related morbidities for the entire group, for adults over 18 years old, and for adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. They then compared the findings with a matched control group without atopic dermatitis.

    The study group included 116,816 patients, with a total of 45,157 adults, along with 1,909 adult adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. 

    Multivariate analysis showed that atopic dermatitis was associated with a significantly higher rates of celiac disease across the entire study population, and for each study group.

    The results showed a meaningful connection between atopic dermatitis and celiac disease, and demonstrate the need for timely screening of people with atopic dermatitis for gastrointestinal morbidities.

    It looks like Haifa and Tel Aviv are the right places for me to go on holiday with Celiac and my lactose intolerance!

    This makes total sense to me! I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2008 (after about 38 yrs of symptoms) and then out of no where, I developed atopic dermatitis in 2017. No one could figure out why and the dermatologist said it was no big deal  just pay attention what I ate and wore to see if I could figure out what was causing the reaction. In no way did she think this was related to Celiac - though I had to wonder. Now I feel vindicated - thank you.

    Great piece perhaps others will be caught sooner. Many of us have a history of being missed while visiting seeing the exact branch of medicine who should know. They don't. I hope more can be educated instead of sending people home with a cream and directions to use gentle soap.

    No one could even understand my weight loss and digestion problems until I went to the dermatologist. I was over forty years old , at the time. She took a skin culture and diagnosed Celiac disease for me. I went a strict gluten free diet and used Rx creams for the skin condition. Twenty five years later I no longer have the digestion problem, of everything going through me, but do still have skin flair ups. I still maintain a strict gluten free diet. I also lately given up meat and dairy but I did that for my heart/ colestoral , not my  Celiacs.

    In Europe they make glucose-fructose syrup, maltodextrin and dextrose of wheat. That could maybe explain why you still have flair ups. And many celiacs also suffer from lactose intolerance, like me. So it might help to avoid lactose. In my case it does. I have celiac, lactose intolerance, Rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. I have to use RX for my head psoriasis, which changes my grey hair into a yellowish color. But still I have some flair ups too. But I am happy that after 50 years they at last found out what was wrong with me.

    Bravo! These studies are the type that confirm what the patients have been saying all along. Now, look for the correlation in canker sores, scalp bumps, break outs and gluten. Lymphatic stagnation too.  Keep going Researchers...you have so much to learn about us Celiac patients!

    Is it true, then, that the atopic dermatitis may not go away after going on a gluten free diet?  If so, then I guess we are talking about correlation, not causation.

    Celiac.com 02/09/2017 - Dermatitis herpetiformis is a skin disease that causes blistering, and is understood to be an external symptom of celiac disease. Refractory celiac disease, which does not respond to a gluten-free diet and which carries an increased risk of lymphoma, is well-known to clinicians and researchers.
    A team of researchers recently set out to determine if there were any cases of refractory dermatitis herpetiformis with active rash and persistent small bowel atrophy that do not respond to a gluten-free diet. The research team included K Hervonen, TT Salmi, T Ilus, K Paasikivi, M Vornanen, K Laurila, K Lindfors, K Viiri, P Saavalainen, P Collin, K Kaukinen, and T Reunala.

    Do Dermatitis Herpetiformis Patients Have More Fractures Celiac Patients?
    Celiac.com 01/28/2019 - Research shows that people with celiac disease have an increased risk of bone fractures, compared to the regular population, but there's not much good data on fracture risk in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis. A team of researchers recently compared self-reported bone fractures in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis against those with celiac disease. 
    The research team included C Pasternack, E Mansikka, K Kaukinen, K Hervonen, T Reunala, P Collin, H Huhtala, VM Mattila, and T Salmi. In all, they looked at self-reported fracture rates in 222 dermatitis herpetiformis patients, and in 129 control subjects with celiac disease.
