Has anyone had a Derm diagnoses their DH, with just a visual assessment, and no biopsy? Just wondering...

No, they will need to perform duel biopsy's. Bad skin and good skin side by side to confirm. Wouldn't trust a visual. This is to serious. I took a low dose of Dapsone for about 2-3 months to get rid of the rash with blood work every 2 weeks while getting off gluten. Blood work was fine until the 3rd month when I stopped the med's. I can now take Dapsone as needed if I accidently get glutened and it seems to work.

If you have already been diagnosed celiac then I would say yes. If not then the derm needs to biopsy the area next to the lesions to find it. Make sure they are looking for DH.

My dermatologist diagnosed mine the second he looked at it. Never had a skin biopsy.

      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?
