Can Dermatitis Herpetiformis only appear once?

Since I've had blood work come back positive I've been looking into celiacs disease a bunch. When looking into Dermatitis Herpetiformis, it reminded me of a rash I had in 2019. Like it looks exactly the same, and they had an awfully hard time diagnosing the rash. I got like 3 different and wrong diagnoses and now I'm sat here wondering if that's what it was? Is it possible to only have one outbreak? The symptoms of it matched up too, it was unbelievably ichy, blistered and burned. I had a biopsy of it done so I don't know if the description would be of any indication if it could have been or not. Thanks!

Can I assume that you are now on a gluten-free diet, and went on it sometime after 2019?

If you were eating gluten daily back at the time you had this outbreak, it would be very unusual, but not impossible, for it to go away. Most people with DH get the outbreak chronically while they eat any gluten, and it usually will go away when you've been gluten-free for a long period of time.

I will assume that you're gluten-free now, and so even if it was DH back then, you should not need to worry about it now if you are good at following the diet.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
