Hi Dh sufferers i want to try and help a many Dh people as i can. I have dh it's one of the worst things you can get. My arms were covered and legs, head I'd have to get shower 4 times a night it would drive me crazy I'd itch all day. I was on dapsone for a short time until my wife told me about coconut oil.i started with on heat spoonful for the first week, the second week two spoonful keep on tha until the blisters have gone. You still need to eat gluten free also my wife uses it for cooing to I have no blisters unless cross contamination. The coconut oil has to be Virgin unrefined the blisters will start disappearing in a few months it works for me and I hope it works for you all.

Do you eat the coconut oil or put it on the lesions? I find it useful for dry skin and hair also when applied topically. 

Do you know you should limit iodine until your lesions are healed? Iodine can keep the antibodies active in the skin. I only had to drop iodized salt but others have had to limit high iodine foods also. I stopped getting lesions unless glutened within a couple months and within a couple years my lesions became just one or two tiny blisters when glutened. If your breakouts are still severe if you get CCd you may want to limit iodine for a bit. Do add it back in after your skin has calmed down as iodine is a needed nutrient.

if you want to gain the weight with coconut oil have it three times a day with a protein shake. Good luck

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
