Shampoo to heal DH on my scalp

I have been on the AIP diet now for 61 days.  The good news is that the past 3 days I have had no itching, plus I have only taken 25 mg. of dapsone 1 day.  The diet seems to be working and some of my rash, which is everywhere, looks like it's starting to fade.  I'm not sure what to do about my scalp.  It has scaly-like dandruff all over it.  I have tried different shampoos and nothing seems to make an improvement.  I do not normally have dandruff.  

Has anyone experienced this?

I have not experienced this, but have you tried a dandruff shampoo like Nizoral A-D Anti-Dandruff Ketoconazole 1% Shampoo?

Yes,  I have a prescription for it.  I'm not certain that it's helping.  Thank you for the suggestion though.  I may keep trying it once a week.

One other thing, have you checked to make sure that all your skin and hair care products, cosmetics, medicines, etc., are gluten-free? It seems that people who have DH are especially sensitive, and some react to gluten on the skin.

Also, many people with DH need to avoid iodine as it can also trigger flare ups. It's in sea food, salt that is fortified with it, seaweed, etc.

      Okay.  That doesn't answer the question, but thanks anyway.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      A confirmed diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease is required to participate in the study unfortunately. Apologies you are feeling miserable even though you have remained gluten-free, I hope you are able to receive further understanding as to why from the relevant medical professional. I am hoping to provide copies of the content used in this study following its completion end of this year so will make a note to post on here when the study is complete, a copy of the resources used from the group.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.
