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.

      @Ben Cohen, make sure you ask your physician to order a test called "Immunoglobulin A (IgA)" (aka, "total IGA"), which tests for IGA deficiency, along with the tTG-IgA. The tTG-IgA is the primary test used these days to check for celiac disease but if you are IGA deficient, the tTG-IgA will not be accurate. Some physicians neglect to check for IGA deficiency, operating on the outdated assumption that it only occurs in young children. Here is an article outlining the various antibody tests that can be ordered to detect celiac disease: Another thing to keep in mind is that, as Dr. Gunn indicated, if the antibody testing is positive, your physician will likely want to confirm those results with a biopsy which would require you to remain on the gluten challenge.

      Before putting yourself through the disruption of a gluten challenge, you might want to check and see if you carry the celiac risk genes DQ2 and/or DQ8. If you don't carry the genes your celiac disease risk is below 1%. If you do have the genes, a gluten challenge followed by antibody testing would be the next steps for a proper medical diagnosis.

      I'm 63 and was diagnosed in 2010. Prior to diagnosis I was suspected of having to strokes and medicated according each time. A neurologist called me in to discuss my scan. From that discussion I had a camera down and celiac disease was confirmed. I suffered continued pain and numbness down my left side and was offered amitriptyline, and antidepressants that was also diagnosed for nerve pain. I said no as I didn't want the stigma of being on antidepressants. Seven years later I begged my GP to prescribe them and my life was changed almost immediately. If I'm glutened accidentally whilst eating out then my nerves pain/symptoms get worse but it's nothing compared to taking the medication and feeling a little drowsy every now and then.  The best of luck for the future.
