Cornstarch and DH article

[Awol cast iron stomach]

I happened upon this piece of research lately about 2 cases noted in literature about DH and cornstrach. As many of you know I found after my gluten challege that cc gives me DH. Many also know cornstarch is also an issue for me. 

Thought I would share in the event someone ever needs details. If this happens to be a repeat ( I may not have seen on forums) my apologizes as I though it maybe useful.

Awol Cast Iron Stomach.

That is good research.

Here is another thread and/or other research that might help you.

It is a rainy day here, ...so I had time to come in out of the rain and caught up on the forum... and saw your thread.

the regulation of Histamine(s) is very important in MCAS and the research explains how a genetic defect in the use of the amino acid tryptophan can lead to IBS symptom's and mastocystis's associated with digestive issues.

I had seen the corn starch research before but got busy and forgot about it.

I tend to think anything triggered by corn ...tends to be Pellagra that has developed since you developed celiac disease.

gluten free works did the first work I read about it (Pellagra) developing in Celiac's due to low B-Vitamin levels.

people have forgotten about pellagra today because we enrich our breads but gluten free breads are not enriched....

here is an article about it.

Pellagra actually means "rough skin" ... and why it is typically described as the "4 D's" ...I had forgotten or didn't know it -- it can also be known for it's 3 P's and why I linked this research I recently came across for a friend doing research on his skin Lupus and it described it perfectly!

quoting the article about the D's and P's of Pellagra.

"Pellagra is classically described as the 4 D’s in order of symptoms starting: diarrhea (watery, but may contain pus or blood), dermatitis, dementia, death. Three 3 P’s also apply: photosensitive, painful, pruritic (itchy)".

It was once known as the "Red Madness" and if it is (Pellagra) mimicking DH you can understand why one is confused for the other.... as Lupus is sometimes said to do too other diseases then it is as least plausible....if not like(ly) you have also developed Pellagra since your Celiac diagnosis.

you should also have your stomach acid checked it (SA) (Stomach acid (SA)) has also been to be LO/NO (celiacs) and (NO SA) in DH patient's, respectively.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.
