What's The Difference Between Dh And Dandruff On Head

HI,

I used Salsun Blue today to help with an itch head I 've been having. It's worse tonight then it's been this week. I've been itching it all day and I noticed tonight that it's a bit bloody on top. I get these patches of itches and bumps. Of course I itch them and the bumps get wet. I was wondering what the difference is between dh on the head and dandruff.

I used to have dandruff but now that I am gluten-free, it went away. It does come back if I use certain hair products. Definitely ones that have wheat in them but also ones that I suspect must have some gluten in them. So I am wondering if what I had was really DH or a wheat allergy.

When I did have it, I discovered that using vinegar on my head got rid of the itching for a few weeks. I put vinegar on my scalp, let it sit for 20 - 30 minutes and then washed my hair as usual. Sometimes, I had to do it again in a few days, but most of the time, it lasted for weeks.

Also, if you haven't tried them, there are products that you can use during the day to put on the itchy spots that help. I think Head and Shoulders makes one but there is another one, too. I am not sure if these are gluten-free.

Hi, this is my post today to an issue raised under a differnet section. It might help. The mix I happened up on is pure bliss!!! It sounds like you have exactly what I had on the scalp. If I get back on the gluten/gliadin it erupts every three weeks.

Hi there,

I was diagnosed with psoriasis 30 years ago but I always refused to believe I had it. Anyway after a LOOOOONG time I determined that I had Dermatitis Herpetiformis, and so when I went of Gluten/gliadin. I now have no problems. I tried just about everything to help myself as I was just having to pour Betnovate all over my scalp every three weeks. I also had problems on my face (cheeks, eyebrows, folds of the nose and in my ears). Eventually (until I worked out what the real problem was) I used to get full relief from a 50/50 mixture of organic apple cider vinegar and isopropyl alcohol. Some mixed in honey also worked (but not on the scalp!!!). I still use the mix as an aftershave. Checkout ACV on WWW. Also, try giving Green Tea a go as a wash.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
