DH takes a long time to die down. make sure to - for just a short time - minimize excess iodine intake (no iodized salt, seaweed, etc.) as iodine is part of the reaction that causes DH.

Be aware that it can take months for DH to totally die down. You should see improvement anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks with a continuous gradual tappering off of constant flair-ups. Any time you accidently ingest gluten you may have flair-ups within hours to 6 weeks later. I have never taken meds for DH as I didn't want to contend with possible side effects. Now, when I get accidently glutened I will start itching all over within 24 hours and then I may have a few small breakouts but nothing like I used to get.

I've read that breakouts can be as far as 15 days after being "exposed". That's A LONG TIME to wait and wonder!! Be sure to journal and keep track of everything you eat so that you can gain a clue about how fast your system typically works, how much you may have been exposed to and how badly you were affected and simply what may have bothered you. If you are like alot of us, you may be bothered by multiple things. Once you KNOW you have one thing out of your diet and you are still being bothered, then you look at your journal and start deducing and eliminating things till you pinpoint the next item. Best wishes! You are in the "not at all fun stage" of this.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors. Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps. I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage...
