Ninety percent of the members here are on the gluten free diet for themselves or their family members.

There is a lot of great information here. Take a walk around.

Have your tried the gluten free diet? Perhaps that may be your cure.

The only 'cure' for DH is the gluten free diet. You can get a prescription med called Dapsone but that only helps the skin and will not help with any other issues. Dapsone does not stop the progression of the disease or the autoimmune process. If you have DH you really do need to be gluten free.

Yes, I have been reading forums for some years, and the only two things for DH are Dapsone and gluten-free diet. They have stopped prescribing Dapsone alone, which they did many years ago, nowadays it is gluten-free diet first and maybe Dapsone.

Note that iodine triggers Dh too, until one has been gluten-free for a year or two. After that, one may be able to tolerate iodine some say.

DH is triggered by Ttg-3 antibodies, celiac by Ttg-2 antibodies. Gluten ataxia by Ttg-6 antibodies.

But all kinds of oterh endocrine tissues have receptors for gliadin and for example thyrodi tissue sends out antibodies to thyroid triggered by gluten. Both graves antibodies and hashimotos. Same with adrenals and pancreas, gluten triggers antibodies to adrenals and diabetes1 antibodies.

And many more autoimmune things in the body.

You could try yoga and acupuncture but I think they only help a little bit re. autoimmunity. Maybe some supplements help too a little bit but only going completely gluten-free will make a dent.

I read on the delphi celiac forum that one chiropractor had proclaimed he could cure celiac but there was a storm by people posting that he should be prosecuted. I talked to a woman doing kinesiology who told me she could cure celiac but I have not tried....On the celiac forum there were some that had gone to practitioners who did something I do not remember I think it was bioset, mainly about allergies, but they got better from their allergies, but it did not make any dent in the celiac issue.

Yep, sorry to break it to you, but the only cure for DH and celiac is a gluten free diet. When were you diagnosed? because it appears you haven't done much research on what gluten really is. There is not way to get around it. Honestly, the longer you wait to go gluten free the more problem are going to start popping up. Please consider it, many of us wished we would have had the good fortune of someone actually giving us a diagnosis YEARS sooner. It would have saved a lot of pain, additional system problems, and many headaches!!

We all want to see you well, none of this is any fun! Check out a book called "The Gluten Connection" it is very informative. You can make bread that is gluten free, and it tastes great. The stuff you buy tastes and feels like hockey pucks, so don't waste your money (not that I have actually eaten a hockey puck)

take care,
