Two possible meanings, as used here:

Dermatitis Herpetiformis -an autoimmune skin rash triggered by gluten. Some say it is a distinct disease, but most here consider just a another symptom of celiac disease.

And, as with any web discussion, DH can mean "Dear Husband." DD and DS refer to daughter and son respectively.

I was looking @ the topics and then i saw the Dermitis H. one. I'm like gr8 now i feel stupid but oh well thank you

One more question is this a rash or a discoloration of the skin. Because i had a dark pigment color change on my neck when i was sick. The doctors kept saying it was addison's disease or acanthosis agricanes. But as soon as i started the gluten-free diet it went away. Does sound like DH?

Open Original Shared Link is a rash which has eruptions and extreme itching. The skin is inflamed. It is similar to Open Original Shared Link. Discoloration alone is not either condition. Not all celiacs have DH--I didn't, although I did have what was diagnosed as eczema as a child.

Click on either condition name to see a description of it.

Please don't feel dumb. I am a lot older than you and I have no idea what most posters are talking about when they just use initials. Often it takes me hours to thinl of the disease/condition they are posting about.

You and I can just muddle along together. :D

      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?
    • Scott Adams
      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/

      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?
