For the biopsy test, the Mayo Clinic recommends being on gluten for at least two weeks to give valid test results. They recommend the consumption of an amount of gluten found in two slices of wheat bread daily or the equivalent.

My left ear hurts sometimes. But just briefly & doesn’t feel like a regular ear infection ache.

Drizzling Witch Hazel in my ear helps me when my ears bother me.

My understanding is a biopsy diagnosis of DH is as good as a dx of Celiac Disease. It needs special technique which a dermatologist familiar with DH would know. At least save a long trip.

"DH is considered the specific cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease, and the most recent guidelines of celiac disease have stated that, in celiac patients with a proven DH, a duodenal biopsy is unnecessary for the diagnosis. " The diagnosis and treatment of dermatitis herpetiformis

Oh thank you! It’s like a squeezing pain that radiates in my throat kinda , as if it’s coming from inflammation feels like. And yes we both have dermatologist appts,  but not until Sept:(  

My lesions are a little more dramatic/slow  in healing than my daughter’s but she seems to have the biggest reaction to bug bites of anyone I know &  thats apparently tied to celiac disease too
