Hello - I was recently diagnosed with DH after years of being told I has psoriasis.  I've been gluten-free for a while now including all of my skin care products but I still continue to get breakouts that are painful and itchy.  My dermatologist would like me to take Dapsom starting in a small dosage.  I'd appreciate any comments from those who have tried Dapsom as the side effects are rather scary.  Also any other things you have done to help with the breakouts.  Thank you so much.

Read this & follow the diet. This is a member who is actually a doctor specializing in pediatrics but she has celiac disease. 

In case that is not clear then you can access the diet here:

Do not eat out, do NOT!!!!!!! Do not eat anything you have not yourself prepared & that means not what your sister made, or your mom made or a friend made for you. They don't know the rules even though they mean well & love you.

Go on a low iodine diet for 2 weeks or so. Low iodine diet can be found here:

Leave off the gluten of course

Get the doc to prescribe you Flucinonide cream 0.05% -- it will help a lot with the itching.

I never took Dapsone as I am allergic to sulfa drugs & didn't want to risk it. Many here have over the years taken it & most have had side effects to where they had to quit it. Your mileage may vary.

Oh, & the breakouts will wax & wane all on their own until all the antibodies are out of your skin. 

AND steroid shots or pills can work wonders UNTIL you go off them & then there's a backlash from hell. A price I can assure you that you do not want to pay.

Thank you so much for this information.  I'm still undecided about Dapsone.  I have had Flucinonide cream in the past and it did not work for me.  I now use Aczone (which is actually Dapsone) but it is very expensive.  Again, thank you for the links, most helpful.

You're welcome! Also watch the NSAID's as they tend to make the rash flare. If you have to take something, it seems Tylenol is the least aggravating to the rash.

      Is there a minimum time since diagnosis of refractory celiac disease?  I really hope I’m not eligible for your study, but looking for it is one reason my gastroenterologist suggested an endoscopy. I’m having it later this month, due to still having GI symptoms on a strict gluten free diet.

      There's a company called thistle subscription based food completely gluten free plant based. They offer juices, juice shots. I was wondering has anyone made their own juices shots for anti inflammatory gut healthy juices etc?

      If you prepare gluten free and eat  gluten free but feel stomach pains hours later what makes it gluten contamination vs. something else you may have ate etc? anything to differentiate in symptoms? Thanks

      Anyone diagnosed with Refractory Coeliac Disease can participate (they do not need to be in the UK but would need to be able to speak and understand English as the intervention is facilitated in English language)
    • Scott Adams
      Is this only for those in the UK, or can anyone diagnosed with celiac disease participate?
